Speaker 1

One hundred and one days remain until the US presidential election in twenty four until the gavel drops and opens the Democratic National Convention. That convention is reborn, remade. It is fueled by excitement, by energy. The fact of the matter is Democrats have momentum, they have possession of the ball, and they are on the move. But this is a moment that must also be tempered by realism and reality. James Carville has tried to make this point over and

over again. We have seen wild swings of emotion in the electorate among the bases of both parties, from great enthusiasm to despair, and back and forth it goes. It seems like there is no middle ground. But politics, particularly at the presidential level, is a business. We're maintaining an evil and strain. Maintaining an even keel is an important thing to do. Jd Vance is something very special. I

never thought that I would live to say this. I always knew it was theoretically possible that there would one day be a vice presidential pick more morally deficient than Sarah Panllin, more dishonest, more weird, more unfit. Like I said, I just didn't think I would live to see it. I didn't think it was possible that it could happen in such short proximity in years to two thousand and eight.

But here we go. How did the disaster happen? The professional team on the Trump campaign Susie Wiles, Chris Losovita wanted Marco Rubio. It would have been a fantastic pick for Trump. Not saying he's a fantastic guy, He's a total fraud, but politically it was the pick that made sense. Trump wanted North Dakota Governor Doug Bergham and founding father

look alike, but nobody else did. It was his boys Eric and Don Junior, Ude and Cuse that convinced him to make the dumbest and worst vice presidential pick ever, the bearded palen j the dvance.

Speaker 2

We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices

that they've made. They're obsessed with their jobs, they're obsessed with their wealth and with their fortunes, and they look at Middle America, people who are actually pretty happy with their lives and the choices that they've made, and they hate normal Americans for choosing family over these ridiculous DC in New York status games.

Speaker 1

What JD Vance is when he talks about cat ladies is a type of hero to the in cel. He's a funny, tough guy, a pseudo masculinity masked by deep insecurities. Something important to understand about Jdvans. People that know him best are the people from the region that he has disparaged the most Appalachian. This is not a pick that swells the heart with pride, as is the case in the South Asian community or among African Americans. The people that JD Vance demeaned are not rooting for JD. Vans

to become president of the United States. Oh and by the way, let me make my position on this perfectly clear. Seventy eight years old is also too old to be president of the United States. Donald Trump is completely incoherent, obviously addled, deeply disordered, and no crazy old man should have their finger on the nuclear button, and certainly a proto fascist shouldn't be his successor underneath at all. Wait till the American people finds how to bet Jdevans's fake

opioid charity. It is astonishing. He's a weak, weak candidate. I was deeply involved in a Tim Bryant campaign. Frankly, it's one of the best campaigns I've ever been involved in. Campaign manager Dave Chase, Democratic strategist Brandon Hall ran a remarkable effort the top of the ticket. The Democratic candidate lost by twenty six points, but jd Vance only one by five, and that was after fifty seven million dollars in spending by Mitch McConnell. Chuck Schumber didn't give Tim

Ryan a dime. He almost did it. He had jd Vance down and out in August of twenty two. He shouldn't be the vice presidential nominee, but he is because of Trump's craziness and cynicism and a lack of foresight by Democrats ied to throw away a US Senate seat. But that's a story for a different day. The story for today is this man's abject weirdness and his weakness and his creepiness. Like I've said before, I say this seriously. Imagine somebody my side throwing a punch at a five

foot four inch woman. Think about that video the whole country saw with p ditty beating a woman. Or think about Gaina Weight of the UFC slapping his wife repeatedly on New Year's Eve, the man that Trump picked to introduce him. Think about that, and think about Jay Keith Vance's advice that the beaten woman should stay married, should

not leave, should not protect yourself and her children. He is an extremist nut job of the highest highest conceivable magnitude, unfit to be in the Senate, unfit to be in the national command authority. And God help us all of this bearded victor orbon loving lick shpittle ever becomes the commander in chief. He is an appalling, appalling human being, a fraud, a con and the worst VP pick ever, even worse than Sarah Palin. And like I said, I never ever thought that I would be alive to say

that that could be possible. But it shows again that John McCain was right about something deep down. Anything is possible in America. Gratulations to JD. Vance, new king of the worst VP picks of all time. Long live JD. Sarah, you were tough to displace. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. You are as nutty as they come, dishonest, as the day is long, ignorant at a level has

simply mind boggling. But even with all of that, and everything you've done over the last fifteen years, even the whole costume thing on the mass singer song, Today's to day, you get to give up the crown. It goes to J. D Vance, the California Yale billy, who with a glass of Chortenay in his hands, said he wasn't comfortable back in Ohio living with those Hillbillies anymore. A fraud picked for his protoge and air apparent another fraud, and now

they're sinking. It seems that at the moment the Democrats were preparing to ram the Iceberg, they changed course, and behind them the s S. Mara Lago is full steam ahead into the ice And that's a good thing for America and all the generations of Americans yet born, because there's now a chance to defeat this incipient rowing American fascism that calls itself MAGA. This is the warning and tomorrow one hundred days to go. I'm Steve Schmidt. This

is the warning, and I invite you to join. Subscribe on our sub stack on our YouTube channel, follow us welcome to the community,
