as if Donald Trump's racist High rate on

stage at the National Association of

black journalists wasn't disqualifying

enough unto itself and enough of a

blinking red light to exactly the kind

of Voters who Trump had been hoping to

appeal to here's another unintended

consequence of his actions it turns out

that according to act blue contributions

through the Democratic platform flew

past $25 million on the day of the nabj

conference alone to put that in

perspective aside from the 3 days

immediately following kamla's entrance

into the race that amount is the biggest

single day hul since October of 2020 in

other words Donald Trump went to the Q&A

decided that racism would be the

campaign strategy while on stage with

black journalists and manag to Spur

Comal Harris to one of the biggest

fundraising days of the entire cycle

Bravo Donald Bravo in fact even those on

the right have begun acknowledging what

an ass backward strategy this is Tommy

lren tweeted I hate to be the bearer of

bad news but making kamla a martyr for

her race and gender going to really

backfire on the Trump campaign it's such

an unforced error the strategy is only

going to allow kamla to escape her

radical record and radical policies I

really don't understand why the GOP

seems to enjoy pissing winnable

elections down our legs Ben Shiro

tweeted a meme of a car veering onto an

off-ramp from staying on course and

saying quote attacking kamla's record

lies in radicalism to instead is she

really black one of the writers at the

conservative National Review which is

certainly no leftist Outlet tweeted the

Republican nominee is too dumb too old

too racially obsessed too erratic and

idiosyncratic in what interests and

stirs him the poll's just evened up and

he's on Pace to Fumble away a

presidential race against a vep who ran

a disastrous border pardon me migration

policy who's flip-flopping on every

issue who's got to defend the highest

inflation in 40 years and Chaos overseas

and Trump thinks his best move before an

African-American audience is to doubt

whether she's really

black and here's Bill O'Reilly uh Donald

Trump blew it and the happiest person in

the country tonight is KLA

Harris because she's sitting there

cackling look at this yeah look at this

look at Trump he's just alienated

millions of black voters who aren't

going to really get what happened there

uh the broadside against kamla Harris

was that she's a phony that she used one

bit of ethnicity to do this one bit to

do that but Trump didn't articulate it I

mean hell even Rick Santorum expressed

some deep concern uh Trump has a bevy of

riches to go after KLA Harris uh the the

question is is he disciplined enough uh

to to stick to those topics and do it

now if you look at what happened today

in Chicago he wasn't he he he got and I

understand they were punching at him and

they were they were baiting him but

that's what that's what every reporter

is going to do to Donald Trump to get

him off his message the most important

thing is for to stay on message in front

of folks who are not Rally goers but

people who are listening into interviews

uh who may not know the Kam Hera story

and they didn't get that story from

Donald Trump today Rick santorum's

Senate career ended because he was too

much of a raging homophobe so for that

guy to start sounding the alarm about

message discipline as it relates to

Trump should probably put things in

perspective here the point is that what

Trump is doing is absolutely absurd he's

not only getting push back from the

usual Maga accolades in his own party

and not only facilitating tens of

millions of dollars in donations not to

his campaign but a commis campaign but

he's actually giving Democrats the

perfect opening to push back against him

here's just a small sampling of what

that looks like the the more she pulls

ahead uh the more you're going to see I

think Trump revert to the only thing he

knows how to do uh when he's trying to

get attention which is to get more and

more outrageous remember for for that

brief period when it looked like maybe

he might have been winning earlier this

year he actually began to show some

glimmers of something that might be

described as discipline uh that

collapsed the moment that that KLA

Harris became the the presumptive

nominee and and now we're we're seeing

that we're seeing it when he has an even

mildly skeptical or challenging

interview which as we can tell from

today's event uh he was not able to

handle without just being even more

insulting uh and and strange than usual

I think those are the comments of a

desperate scared old man who is uh over

the last week especially has been you

know having his butt K and by a

experienced

and look I'm not here to give Donald

Trump campaign advice but I'm really not

sure what the upside here is other than

satisfying some innate desire to just be

racist which I recognize if you're

Donald Trump certainly is tempting this

is the guy after all who's accused of

abusive Behavior toward black tenants

the guy who took out a full page ad

calling for the death penalty for the

wrongly convicted Central Park 5 here's

what Donald Trump's own nephew said he

did there's a chapter that you write

about called the the race card what's

that about

I was about 10 years old and I was at my

grandparents house like I I was a lot

and Donald I could hear him screaming

and I went down to the driveway of my

grandparents house and there was his

white El Dorado Convertible with two

slashes still remember it and he had

electrical tape because the roof was

black and he used the word the n-word

twice just saying who he thought

probably had done this you were 10 years

old when these comments were allegedly

uttered it you sure you remember him

that way oh absolutely he says he

doesn't use the word okay he did twice

that day it's almost like this has

nothing to do with strategy and

everything to do with a panicked

desperate man recognizing that he's

losing and allowing his true self to

shine through Donald Trump is

fundamentally at his core a a bigot and

that's being put on full display of

course the added benefit likely as far

as Trump is concerned is that he gets to

claw back some attention from kamla

Harris because if there's one thing that

we know about Trump is that he is

physically incapable of not being the

center of attention for the entire world

so if that means he has to say something

shocking or disgusting or racist or all

three to be able to gain back the

nation's eyeballs then clearly he's not

above doing that attention for Trump is

like water for fish so if Trump is that

desperate for attention my advice is

just to keep going keep filling up comma

War chest keep inviting the ire of even

extreme Republicans like Ben Shapiro and

Tommy lren who recognize the disaster

that is this strategy keep distancing

yourself from black voters and young

voters all of whom are completely

capable of acknowledging the existence

of and accepting biracial Americans and

for those watching who might be saying

shut up Brian let him sink himself stop

trying to help him the point is that

nobody can help Donald Trump the guy's

got an entire team of people desperate

to win a November around him and even

they can't control him I can assure you

that if he's not listening to them while

he sets his own campaign on fire we

really don't have to worry about him

taking my advice Donald Trump is a

sinking ship and the person responsible

for sinking it is

[Music]

him I've got a really exciting

announcement I've written a book it's

called Shameless this book explores how

Republicans have exploited their

historical branding while attacking our

democracy how the media has proven

itself a willful particip IP and how

Democrats can learn from this to

rebalance the political scales and save

our democracy it has been a lifelong
