WEBVTT - The Democrat Contenders Who Could Take Down Trump

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.760
<v Speaker 1>There are forty five days until the Democratic National Convention

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>convenes in Chicago. It is July fifth, twenty twenty four.

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning. During the next couple of days,

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the full impact of the catastrophic debate will be known.

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 1>The full extent of the polling debacle will be fully felt.

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>The impact so far as it is known as catastrophic.

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>New Mexico, Virginia, New Hampshire, and Minnesota, all states that

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>were safely in the Biden column are now in play.

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire was a state that Joe Biden won by

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>ten points. He is now losing to Donald Trump by two.

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>The president is in a great deal of trouble and

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>during the next few days it is highly likely that

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>he will withdraw from the race, and when he does so,

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Convention will open up. Who are the people

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>that could be part of a national ticket that could

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>beat Donald Trump. The person that is the best known

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>is the incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, but after her

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.279
<v Speaker 1>there are a number of other well known and lesser

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 1>known candidates. There is, of course, California Governor Gavin Newsom.

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Nate Silver points out though, that if Gavin Newsom is

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the nominee. There will be a four month debate about

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco, and it's not a winning proposition for the Democrats.

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>There is Wes Moore, the young Maryland governor, combat veteran

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>eighty second Airborne. Wes Moore is a superstar, a rising

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>talent in the Democratic Party. There's Kentucky Governor Andy Burshier.

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>This is a Republican state. He's a very popular Democratic governor.

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>There's the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer Big Gretch. Their

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>senator Cory Booker. There's Governor JB. Pritzker of Illinois. There's

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, their secretary and former governor

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Jinny Romando. There are a great many Democrats who could

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>serve at the top of the ticket or in the

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>vice presidential slot. The only thing that matters is winning.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look at some of them. Let's see

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>how they answer questions. What do they look like giving

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>a speech? Can they light up a room like Barack

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Obama did? Can they take the fight to Donald Trump?

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>Can they prosecute him minute by minute, hour by hour,

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>day by day. For the balance of the campaign. One

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>thing is for certain the position the President Biden now

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>finds himself in is not one that he can recover from.

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>What is the moment that he will pass Donald Trump?

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>How will he make up six points with a great

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>convention speech the September One out of three Democrats wants

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>him replaced. Seventy two percent of the country believes he

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>is mentally incompetent. So the Democratic Party now must pay

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the price for its gaslighting, its denialism, and its delusion.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>And the good news is is that out of these

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 1>candidates is a winning ticket. There are some great Democratic

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>candidates in this mix, the type of Democratic candidates that

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 1>bring with them a Democratic House and a Democratic US

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Senate and completely change the entire dynamic of the election,

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that instill it with energy, that bring young people back

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>into politics. The delusion is at a tent. The President

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>is a fine man who has served well, but his

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>time it's up and he must step aside because if

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>he does not, then his only legacy will be a

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>supreme selfishness that elected Donald Trump. So whether it's Vice President, Harris,

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>governor Moore, Governor, Pursher, Governor, k Newsome, Secretary Romando, governor, Shapiro,

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>governor Pritzker, Governor Murphy. The Democratic Party has plenty of

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 1>candidates that can beat Donald Trump, and it's time to

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 1>stop the gas lighting about the fact that the only

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.480
<v Speaker 1>one who definitely can't is the only one who can.

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 1>It's always been absurd and now it's just pathetic and reckless,

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and yes it is a corrupt act. There's nothing more

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>important than the country. Country first, Country above the Democratic Party,

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>country above Trump, country above Biden. We must think about

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the country and it must have an able president. What

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.799
<v Speaker 1>is the proposition that President Biden can serve at age

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>eighty five? If this is his condition at eighty one

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 1>eighty two, the cinisen from the media, cynicism of Democrats

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and allowing this forest to go forward has all been unspooled.

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>And let me ask a question, who is it that

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>cynicism helps. It helps the king of the cynics, it

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>helps Trump, It helps Maga. Where there is distrust, Maga flourishes.

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>But now all the light has shined in, and now

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>we know President is not up for this fight, but

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.919
<v Speaker 1>these folks are, and they're all about to get a

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>lot more famous in the next few weeks. Forty five

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>days to go until the most exciting political convention of

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 1>our lifetimes, Democratic Convention in Chicago. This is an election

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>that cannot be lost to MAGA and Donald Trump. And

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>because this debate took place early enough, it will not

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 1>be lost. It will be saved, and it will be

0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>saved by a mix of these people, the future of

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.119
