1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: It is July the tenth, one hundred and seventeen days 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: remained until the US presidential elections, forty days and forty 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: nights until the convening of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: This is the morning, and Joe Biden's campaign is struggling. 5 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump appeared at his golf club in Durrow, and 6 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: he spoke to the masses, those teaming yearning souls, cheering 7 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: for more Maga, more Donald, more insanity. Donald Trump didn't disappoint. 8 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: He challenged, of course, Joe Biden to another debate, but 9 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: also to a round of golf. He said nothing incorrectly 10 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: that it would get better ratings than the Ryder Cup, 11 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: even the Masters. He's probably not wrong, though, I suspect 12 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: President Biden is unlikely to accept the offer. As the 13 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: world tilts ever more closely to a Third World War, 14 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: Let's look at some of the images from around the world. 15 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: Here is Modi in India hugging Vladimir Putin. The Saudis 16 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: have issued a threat of sorts. They've made clear to 17 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: the g seven countries that offloading Russia's trapped assets to 18 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: Ukraine isn't an option. All around the world, the world 19 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: order that came to be in the aftermath of the 20 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: Second World War. Humanity's most significant event is collapsing in Washington, 21 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: d C. The NATO leaders, the members of the most 22 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: powerful military alliance in world history, are gathered talking about 23 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: our collective security. This alliance has come to be at 24 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: the heart of the choice of the campaign in twenty 25 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: twenty four. Donald try Trump hates it. He's against it. 26 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: He believes that a collective of the most technologically advanced 27 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: military and scientific powers on Earth somehow make us weaker. 28 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: That's because he's stupid. But that's been evident for a 29 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: really long time. And so it is this week in 30 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: Washington that President Biden leads the NATO summit with the 31 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: great question hanging in the air. Will he be able 32 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: to serve for four more years? ABC News journalist and 33 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: anchorman George Stefanoppholis, caught in a secret recording, says no. 34 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: This is obvious to a great many Americans. The great 35 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: likelihood is that the election will end in a landslide. 36 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: Let's listen to the words of Colorado's Senator, Democrat Michael Bennett. 37 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is on track, I think to win the 38 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: selection and maybe win it by a landslide and take 39 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: with him the Senate and the House. And so for me, 40 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: this isn't a question about pulling. It's not a question 41 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: about politics. It's a moral question about the future of 42 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 2: our country. 43 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: Let me put the words up. He's not calling for 44 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: the president to step aside. He's simply now acknowledging the 45 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: quiet part out loud. He's saying that President Biden will 46 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: lose this election and in a landslide, and then we 47 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: have to prepare for the terrible thing that comes behind it. 48 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: We have come to an awful hour. And now that 49 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: question of how would Democrats react in a situation where 50 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: a version of their Trump fell from the sky and 51 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: faced the Democratic Party with a tough and profound question, 52 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: what would they do? Well, now we know American people 53 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: see it. Four years from now, Trump is likely to 54 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: be president, should Joe Biden stay in the race. What's 55 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: coming down the road is perfectly clear. Democratic Party stands 56 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: forty days away from the convening of a convention and 57 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: its ultimate moment will nominate Joe Biden for another four years, 58 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: and then he will take to the stage in a 59 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: nominating speech. Democrats should visualize that moment. What will he say? 60 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: How will the American people respond? Because the fact is 61 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: right now today President is behind, he is losing. He's 62 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: losing the popular vote for the first time since Donald 63 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: Trump is in the race in nine years. He's ahead 64 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: in the popular vote, and buy a lot, and he's 65 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: blowing away President Biden in the electoral vote, winning all 66 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: of the swings states and then some new ones that 67 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: have come into play, all of the ones that the 68 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: president one in twenty twenty. The fact of the matter 69 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: is all this distance away, which will pass quickly. The 70 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: result is coming into focus, and it will be a 71 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: tragic one for America and for a young generation that 72 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: should be given some consideration. The American people owe Joe 73 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: Biden nothing. Joe Biden knows the American people. And if 74 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: you are to talk about loyalty, the loyalty that matters 75 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: is singular is to the nation, to the country, not 76 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: to a party, not to a man, and not to 77 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: a nominee. This is a disastrous moment, tragic one, a 78 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: profoundly depressing one. And yet even in these bleak moments, 79 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: we have to have optimism and faith that things will 80 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: get better, that the dawn will break soon, and it 81 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: will as it has and will again. There will be 82 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: a period of renewal in vigor in America ahead. But 83 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: now forty days from the convening of the Democratic National Convention, 84 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: everything is in the air. The nation awaits for Donald 85 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: Trump's vice presidential pick, perhaps a golf match even bigger 86 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: than the masters, and it waits for a decision from 87 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: the president forty days out, as the NATO allies gather 88 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: in Washington with an eye towards Russia and China and 89 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: Iran in North Korea. This new access rising, it seeks 90 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: to impose a new model with an old plan. Believers 91 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: in human slavery are ascended against the nations and the 92 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: civilizations who are steeped in the cause of human liberty. 93 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: This contest, it seems, is an enduring one, and it 94 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: seems like this generation of Americans will be tested. President 95 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: Biden forty days from his convention is a drift and lost, 96 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: losing the election with no plan discernible about how to 97 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: get up off the mat. Complaining about the media, complaining 98 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: about your opponent, whining and crying and lying in the 99 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: fetal position while demanding an entitlement is not a political 100 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: strategy against Donald Trump. It's a suicide pact. One hundred 101 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: and twenty days from now, the smoke will be clearing 102 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump is online on target to be forty 103 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: seventh president of the United States. Now we'll bring a 104 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: tragedy to all of the world. But right now there 105 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: is still time. This is the warning.
