One. Nineteen days remain until the American people decide whether they save the United States from Trump. This is the warning. Forty two days remain until the Democratic National Convention decides if they save their party from Donald Trump, if they take action to win an election that according to David Axelrod, the chief strategist of the winning Obama two thousand and eight campaign, says, Joe Biden is losing and he is. David Axelrod and I share something in common. We are
bound together for all time. I was the chief strategist for the losing campaign of that two thousand and eight campaign, John McCain's I have worked at the highest level of two presidential campaigns, a winning and a losing one. David Axelrod is one of the most brilliant political strategists that there has ever been. He is an expert in his field, is the founder of the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.
He is a good man, and unlike many many people who work at the highest level of national politics, David Axelrod is an idealist. He is a believer. As his book says, he believes deeply in the Democratic Party in the United States and in our political system to make life better for ordinary people. It is what he has spent his entire life dedicated towards. Trust me, he takes no pleasure. One hundred and nineteen days before a presidential election,
announcing it is over. This is the Patriot Front of fascist group marching in Nashville this week. When Trump becomes the forty seventh president of the United States without an intervention by democratic leaders who put the country before the ambitions and the ego of a man or that man's wife, We're going to see more of this, more and more,
and then they'll take the masks off. The head of the Heritage Foundation, the home of Project twenty twenty five, talked about the fact that if we all get in line, then the next American revolution, the one that's coming with Trump's election, can be bloodless. If everybody submits and there is no defiance, Kevin Roberts said, it can be a bloodless revolution. This is the state of things. A week and a half after the catastrophic debate between President Biden
and Donald Trump. Let me ask you a question. When is the last time somebody landed a punch on Donald Trump's chin? When is the last time there has been an assault on MAGA that has hit home. When is the last month that somebody somewhere laid a glove on these people? And the answer is, I can't think of one. They're not in the fight, They're out of it. If the Biden campaign were a ship, it would be stalled, it would be drifting in the current and listing very
very badly. The Biden campaign since the debate has spun and sunk, and spun some more and sunk some more. It has become a jumble of incoherence of delusion. The President's interview with George Stefanopholis was a case in point. Let's watch George Stefanopholis asked the President about his approval level.
If you are told reliably from your allies, from your friends and supporters in the Democratic Party, in the House and the Senate that they're concerned you're going to lose the House in the Senate if you stay in, what will you do?
I'm not can answer that question. It's not gonna happen. I really wish George Stefanoppholis had asked. It took me twelve hours after the fact to come up with the question. So I appreciate not doing it in the moment, but I really wish he had asked here, what do you think the approval level is, mister President. The President believes his accomplishments are historic. He is deeply aggrieved that they are not recognized as such. He is help bent a
more more power, more time, more more, and more. He thinks the American people believe something they don't see, they don't believe. In the modern era of the United States and the American presidency, there has never been an interview with the commander in chief who is more completely out
of touch with the sentiments of real people. Not in a maliced, vicious way, not in the Trump way, but just lost, completely unmoored, like a hermit crab living in a terrarium that thinks it is the jungle instead of a small glass ball. President is disoriented and the catastrophe that it has led all of us to the edge of is profound. Here is Mark Robinson, the Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina. Mark Robinson is running for governor. He is a Holocaust denier. He denies the murder of the
Jews by the Nazis. He denies Auschwitz and trublinka and Magonik. He denies it all. Mark Robinson also last week stood in the pulpit of Magachurch. Do you know what he said? Did he talk about love, compassion? How about decency forgiveness? Did he talk prist message? He did not. Here's what he talked about killing. He said, some people need killing. Up against the wall, right, Mark, where is the outrage, Where is the response to this evil? Where is the
mighty voice of the Democratic Party asserting Americanism. It's absence, it's whisper can't be heard. And this is the tragedy. Because Mark Robinson needs ferocious opposition. Mark Robinson needs to be called out. He needs to be castigated and rebuked and mocked, denigrated and humiliated, just like Trump, just like all of these people. But these people are on the
march and they're winning. Democracy is collapsing, not because it's not good, but it's become weak and corrupt, and fascism is rising in its place, as he did almost one hundred years ago. This is an extraordinary moment, a dangerous one, but it remains safely in the hands of the American people. The leaders of the Democratic Party have deluded themselves, lied to themselves, engaged in a gain of pretend. They looked away, they wished away what was clearly in front of their eyes.
And here's the deal. Life does not permit such things. It always catches up, and so it has. This moment requires leadership, patriotism, conviction. It requires on the part of Joe Biden, and active humility and active patriotism the Patriot Front, Mark Robinson, Donald Trump. This is all connected, and it has been always from the beginning. We should understand it as such. We should appreciate what we're witnessing. We don't
have much time left to stop it. In fact, there are forty two days until the Democrats give away the country to Project twenty twenty five and to Donald Trump. And there are one hundred nineteen days until Donald Trump will wait somewhere in a hotel suite, perhaps at Mar A Lago, waiting as the seconds tick down, until the networks are ready to make their projections. The difference is in twenty and sixteen, the world was surprised, and in twenty twenty we all saw it happen and knew it
was over for Trump. But this time Trump is winning and there won't be a surprise. When ABC News and NBC News and CBS News and CNN and Fox all say the words. Donald John Trump, the forty fifth President of the United States, is tonight the President elect of the United States. It will be a moment of immense tragedy, a tragedy that could be seen as far are off as any that has ever been able to be seen forming.
And we will have watched it come down the tracks at us from the moment the light was just a little pinprick peeking out in the dark until it ran over everything. What shameful moment for the country, for the media, for the Democratic Party. What a terrible low moment. But it can be redeemed. There must be, though, another road taken. And what that road rejects is self interest. What that road rejects is power for the sake of war. What it embraces is duty and honor and sacrifice. It is
the American road. And down that road awaits a brilliant legacy for the forty sixth President of the United States. And on the road not taken, something terrible waits, not just defeat, an eradication of everything that Joe Biden has done, because the only memory that will remain, the only indentation in the sand that will persist is a legacy of losing to Trump, the man whose ego found a rival at long last, one hundred and nineteen days ago, forty
two days until Chicago. This is the warning. We are running out of time. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning, and I invite you to join. Subscribe on our substack, on our YouTube channel, follow us. Welcome to the community.
