Speaker 1: Eighty two days until the American people decide who sits
Speaker 1: behind the resolute desk in the Oval Office as the
Speaker 1: commander in chief of the most potent military in the
Speaker 1: history of the world. This is the warning. At this hour,
Speaker 1: Ukrainian forces continue to advance into Kirsk in Russia. At
Speaker 1: this hour, carrier battle groups continue to move towards the
Speaker 1: Middle East, awaiting an Iranian attack on Israel. Domestically, in
Speaker 1: the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris is ahead. If
Speaker 1: the election were tomorrow, she would win. Donald Trump is decomposing,
Speaker 1: He is spiraling, and today he will talk about the
Speaker 1: economy in North Carolina. But if his interview with Elon
Speaker 1: Musk is a preview, there won't be much economic news.
Speaker 1: What there will be is insanity, delusion, lying, nonsense, and
Speaker 1: all sorts of attacks, some based in reality, some not
Speaker 1: based in reality. Donald Trump has reached an inflection point.
Speaker 1: The madness is too obvious to ignore. The slurring that
Speaker 1: the campaign tells us we did not hear is certainly there.
Speaker 1: What's going on with the seventy eight year old Trump Mentally,
Speaker 1: he seems to be cracking up. It's as if something
Speaker 1: has broken inside of him. Again, the same part that
Speaker 1: broke after he was defeated in November of twenty twenty
Speaker 1: by President Biden. President Biden is not in this campaign anymore,
Speaker 1: but Donald Trump can't stop talking about him. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get Joe Biden out of the White House. Joe is bad.
Speaker 1: Joe couldn't hear, He couldn't he could do anything. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was exposed during the debate. Are you a communist? Joe?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Are we dealing with Biden? Biden? Probably
Speaker 1: should get out? What do you like better? Does it
Speaker 1: matter anymore? But what do you like better? Crooked Joe
Speaker 1: or sleepy Joe. He doesn't seem to understand that the
Speaker 1: woman who is on the ballot is Kamala Harris, and
Speaker 1: he doesn't seem to appreciate the fact that everything he
Speaker 1: once said about President Biden seems to just be bouncing
Speaker 1: right off of her. The good news for Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is is that there's eighty days of beclowning left to
Speaker 1: go before his life sentence takes effect. Trump's not going
Speaker 1: to prison, but he's going to imprison his mar Lago members.
Speaker 1: He's going to imprison them on the patio as he
Speaker 1: works the tables, President Norma Desmond, interminal decline for twenty years.
Speaker 1: When he's one hundred and five and six, Trump will
Speaker 1: be sitting there at mar Lago working the tables, and it
Speaker 1: will be the final few members. There will be no
Speaker 1: Presidential library. This man will fail in disgrace. And the
Speaker 1: best part about what's coming next for Trump is this.
Speaker 1: All of these people who sold out everything, whose cynicism
Speaker 1: is beyond description, Tom Cotton, Lindsey Graham, all of them,
Speaker 1: all of the people that made Trump possible, will pretend
Speaker 1: he never existed. They have no idea who he was,
Speaker 1: that the ten years never happened. And the American people
Speaker 1: will let them do it, because the American people hate
Speaker 1: looking backwards. Our capacity as a people for amnesia is
Speaker 1: absolutely without challenge anywhere in the world. The Trump era
Speaker 1: will be forgotten, will fade away, will be a footnote,
Speaker 1: an era of madness, and it won't be repeated. P. T.
Speaker 1: Barnum became president at the dawn of the age, when
Speaker 1: all human beings found their instantaneous connection. This communication revolution
Speaker 1: remains in its infancy, and when we look back on it,
Speaker 1: or generations from now look back on it, they'll understand
Speaker 1: that in the infancy of this technology, bizarre things happened.
Speaker 1: It used to be if there was a stark, raving,
Speaker 1: mad political lunatic spouting Linden Laruche theories, for example, in
Speaker 1: a supermarket parking lot, we didn't take that person seriously
Speaker 1: as a community, as a state, as a county, as
Speaker 1: a country, however you wanted to look at it. It
Speaker 1: was a disqualification. If you couldn't tell the truth, it
Speaker 1: was a disqualification. If you had no character, it was
Speaker 1: a disqualification. If during a global pandemic you told people
Speaker 1: to inject bleach because you're an imbecile, it was a disqualification.
Speaker 1: But all of that in a moment was upended when
Speaker 1: we could all communicate instantly and be validated simultaneously. People
Speaker 1: became disconnected, they became isolated, and they became lonely. Their
Speaker 1: phones became their lifelines. And the reality is the person
Speaker 1: who exploited that cultural weakness more than any other person
Speaker 1: to great effect was a demagogue out of Queens, New York,
Speaker 1: Donald John Trump, who was there all along. What this
Speaker 1: era did was turn all of the media into the
Speaker 1: New York City tabloids, and he was a maestro. But
Speaker 1: it's all coming to an end because people get it.
Speaker 1: They look at this and they see a circle going
Speaker 1: round and round and round and down and down and
Speaker 1: down into the drain. The United States is about to
Speaker 1: be two hundred and fifty years old to monumental achievement.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine the astonishment of the founding fathers to
Speaker 1: see a black woman as President of the United States
Speaker 1: and to learn that there's an American flag on the moon.
Speaker 1: The country has gone through many trials and tribulations, much
Speaker 1: worse than Donald Trump. The country has faced down hate,
Speaker 1: terrible racism, slavery. It has face down brutal ignorance. It
Speaker 1: has faced down all these things because the United States
Speaker 1: is a government of the people, by the people, for
Speaker 1: the people. And some of the people are terrible. Some
Speaker 1: of the terrible people, because terrible people get represented in
Speaker 1: a democracy, also wind up in Congress, like Lauren Bobert,
Speaker 1: like Marjorie Taylor Greed, A bunch of loons and conspiracy
Speaker 1: theorists have latched on to politics. These unfit people are
Speaker 1: coming to the end of their rope. The pendulum is
Speaker 1: swinging back towards normalcy after a decade of chaos. It's
Speaker 1: a good thing. It's a healthy thing. America is living
Speaker 1: through a moment of adjustment in an era of profound
Speaker 1: change and transition. The event between Elon Musk and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is a farce. It's a joke. It's a type
Speaker 1: of absurdist theater. It's not real. And both of these
Speaker 1: narcissists do not care at all about anything aside from
Speaker 1: money and power and attention. What Donald Trump is in
Speaker 1: this moment of transition is a philosopher of sorts. It's
Speaker 1: a philosopher of youwism. We live in a time where
Speaker 1: a lot of people, a lot of people at the top,
Speaker 1: deserve an fu. But an fu is an empty calorie.
Speaker 1: It doesn't get you ahead. But when you're stagnant, when
Speaker 1: you're treading water, stuck in the muck, feels good to
Speaker 1: say it sometimes. And a lot of people have set
Speaker 1: it by pulling down the Trump lover. But they're still stuck.
Speaker 1: Now they have something better to vote for, Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: And that's why the race has so completely changed. So
Speaker 1: many people say that this is a surprise, it's not.
Speaker 1: If you know how to read a poll, this is
Speaker 1: exactly what was going to happen as Joe Biden got
Speaker 1: out of the race. Because think of a spring that
Speaker 1: is being compressed or stepped on. When you step off
Speaker 1: of it, up it goes. And when Joe Biden stepped
Speaker 1: off that spring, it launched Kamala Harris. Because people want younger,
Speaker 1: they want smarter, they want better, they want a president
Speaker 1: for the twenty first century to deal with the challenges now.
Speaker 1: And the Trump campaign is spinning, confused, lost, and most
Speaker 1: importantly it's losing. We are on the eve of the
Speaker 1: Democratic National Convention, and the MAGA movement in America is
Speaker 1: dying this August of twenty twenty four. It's a pleasure
Speaker 1: to watch. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This
