| 0:00.0 | 39 days remain until the Democratic National Convention convenes in Chicago. |
| 0:05.7 | It is July the 11th, 2024. |
| 0:10.1 | This is the warning. |
| 0:13.3 | Today, Tim Alberta published a long profile of the Trump campaign chieftains, |
| 0:20.1 | Susie Wiles, and Chris Lasavita. The story is yet another |
| 0:24.4 | epic profile by Tim Alberta, and it captures perfectly this moment. I'm going to read some |
| 0:31.4 | parts from it. Only one thing could disrupt that plan. A change of candidates atop the Democratic ticket. There was always |
| 0:40.0 | a certain danger inherent to this assault on Biden's faculties. If Wiles and Lhavita were too |
| 0:47.3 | successful, if too many Democrats decided too quickly that Biden was no longer capable of defeating Trump, much less |

| 2:15.3 | Now let's add up the states that Joe Biden is absolutely going to win. |
| 2:22.0 | Now let's add up the electoral votes. Now let's take those states off of the map and let's just |
| 2:28.7 | look at the states that are in play that decide the outcome. This is how the race looks. This is where Donald Trump |
| 2:37.7 | stands in 2024. This is how the map would look on election night if the election were |
