Speaker 1: Seventy six days from now, the American people will make
Speaker 1: a decision that sets the course for our nation for
Speaker 1: the balance of the twenty first century. This is the warning.
Speaker 1: Here is how Michelle Obama put it.
Speaker 2: Something wonderfully magical is in the air, isn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know we're feeling it here in this arena, but
Speaker 2: it's spreading all across this country. We love a familiar
Speaker 2: feeling that's been buried too deep for far too long.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about. It's the contagious power
Speaker 2: of hope.
Speaker 1: Here is how President Obama put it.
Speaker 3: We do not need four more years a bluster and
Speaker 3: bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before, and
Speaker 3: we all know that the sequel is usually worse. America's
Speaker 3: lad it for a new chapter.
Speaker 1: America's read it for a better story.
Speaker 3: We are ready for a president Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: They couldn't have been more correct. And if you were
Speaker 1: lucky enough last night to watch the Democratic National Convention,
Speaker 1: you saw something that was spectacular. You saw three of
Speaker 1: the greatest convention speeches, back to back to back, that
Speaker 1: have ever been in the modern age, in the electronic age,
Speaker 1: in the radio and television age, Doug Amhalk, Michelle Obama,
Speaker 1: and the forty fourth President of the un United States
Speaker 1: of America, Barack Obama, brought it home. Doug em Off
Speaker 1: introduced us to the woman he loves, and boyd does
Speaker 1: he love her deeply. He introduced the whole country to her.
Speaker 1: And you know what, the whole country is sitting right
Speaker 1: now looking at the person who may well be the
Speaker 1: forty seventh President of the United States, and they're seeing
Speaker 1: a picture of someone they don't know very well coming
Speaker 1: into view. And you know what, we like her. The
Speaker 1: American people are going to like Kamala Harris. Her life
Speaker 1: has been one of achievement and excellence. And what Michelle
Speaker 1: Obama said yesterday, for every black person in the country,
Speaker 1: for every person of color, for every middle class white
Speaker 1: kid like me who wasn't given anything, wasn't handed anything,
Speaker 1: had to work hard, this will resonate.
Speaker 2: She understands that most of us will never be afforded
Speaker 2: the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from
Speaker 2: the affirmative action of generational wealth. If we see a
Speaker 2: mountain in front of us, we don't expect there to
Speaker 2: be an escalator waiting to take us to the top.
Speaker 3: Now we put our.
Speaker 2: Heads down, we get to work. In America, we do something.
Speaker 1: And let's be clear. What Donald Trump did to Barack
Speaker 1: Obama and to Michelle Obama, how he rose in national
Speaker 1: politics was on the back of a racist conspiracy That
Speaker 1: was bullshit. The core of the lie was that Barack
Speaker 1: Obama was the Manchurian president, some type of secret Muslim,
Speaker 1: a black Kenyon, a communist. It was all bullshit. Michelle
Speaker 1: Obama president of Obama and Doug Emhoff painted a picture.
Speaker 1: They painted a picture of Kamala Harris's character, her decency,
Speaker 1: her dignity, her upbringing. Michelle Obama in terms of small
Speaker 1: SA conservatism, values like be thrifty, work hard, get to
Speaker 1: the office first. Those values of hard work that until
Speaker 1: a couple years ago, there was a great consensus that
Speaker 1: had endured through most of our history that these American
Speaker 1: values were intrinsically linked to the success of the country.
Speaker 1: The idea no one owes you anything, the idea that
Speaker 1: you should play fair, play by the rules. The compact
Speaker 1: in the country is if you work hard to do that,
Speaker 1: you should be able to get ahead. That compact has
Speaker 1: been broken and it has to be restored. But well,
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama so brilliantly talked about were the values that
Speaker 1: we all share, the overwhelming majority, the things that were
Speaker 1: taught to us by our parents, by a generation, the
Speaker 1: generation that was the children for me, of the generation
Speaker 1: that fought the Second World War, and on and on
Speaker 1: and on. Michelle Obama talked about black jobs in a
Speaker 1: brilliant line, I.
Speaker 2: Want to know who's gonna tell him, Who's gonna tell
Speaker 2: him that the job he's currently seeking might just be
Speaker 2: one of those black jobs.
Speaker 1: This matters. I am a fifty three year old white man.
Speaker 1: And something extremely important was said last night. Unless we
Speaker 1: live in a country where every single one of us
Speaker 1: is free, where we respect the inalienable rights of every person,
Speaker 1: regardless of regardless of creed, regardless of religion, then none
Speaker 1: of us are truly free. If some of us are not,
Speaker 1: then all of us are not, because freedom that can
Speaker 1: be stripped for some in America can be stripped from all.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is an odious, rancid figure. Yesterday, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: was in Michigan, where the Ku Klux Klan is known
Speaker 1: to have their epicenter. A week ago, there was a
Speaker 1: white supremacist march. Donald Trump didn't talk about it, he
Speaker 1: didn't condemn it, and he went there for a specific
Speaker 1: reason to send a message to the surging extremists who
Speaker 1: are filling the ranks of the oathkeepers and the proud
Speaker 1: boys in the militia groups. As documented by Pro Publica,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump knew exactly where he was going. It was purposeful,
Speaker 1: it was deliberate, it was utterly noxious, and it was
Speaker 1: completely poisoned. The remedy for this is not more poison.
Speaker 1: It's better. And that is what Michelle Obama talked about. Better,
Speaker 1: it's what Barack Obama talked about. And better, that's what
Speaker 1: Doug Emhoff talked about. He talked about the person he
Speaker 1: knows and loves that has the capacity to bring the
Speaker 1: country together and do better for all of us. The
Speaker 1: second night of the Democratic National Convention was a towering success.
Speaker 1: It was magnificent. The first night was a nostalgic night.
Speaker 1: Gratitude is important, and the Democratic Party needed to express
Speaker 1: gratitude to President Biden. But last night the torch was passed.
Speaker 1: The future is right now. Get involved in this campaign.
Speaker 1: Do something, Do it now today when you hear this
Speaker 1: call email, get involved. You're an American participation is a
Speaker 1: requirement of citizenship. This is the warning we'll cover every
Speaker 1: day of the next seventy six. When the leaves start
Speaker 1: to fall, one of the greatest fights in the history
Speaker 1: of American politics will be well underway. It will be close,
Speaker 1: there will be tough days, but in the end, the
Speaker 1: choice is clear. It is America or Trump. And that's
Speaker 1: why I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walls,
Speaker 1: and I hope you will too, because you can't love
Speaker 1: your country if you hate half the people in it.
Speaker 1: And Donald Trump hates an awful lot of people who
Speaker 1: I love. Those people are known throughout the world by
Speaker 1: a singular name that has great meaning. Michelle Obama reminded
Speaker 1: us of it. I'm an American, and it's unacceptable to
Speaker 1: have as an American president a man who hates so
Speaker 1: many of our fellow Americans. For whatever reason. That's broken
Speaker 1: in his heart and in his soul. Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: unfit morally, mentally, physically. Kamala Harris is the antidote to
Speaker 1: the poison that has been unleashed without restriction, without stopping
Speaker 1: it inside the Republican Party for ten long years. She's
Speaker 1: gonna stop it because she's a better person, she's a
Speaker 1: better American, she's a better leader, and she's a more
Speaker 1: decent vote. Don't complain. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the
Speaker 1: warning and I invite you to join. Subscribe on our substack,
