Sen. Kamala Harris is running for president of the United States, and it's no surprise that she's the favorite to win the Democratic nomination. But is she a good candidate? Is she a bad candidate? And is she really running against the deep state?
00:00:00.000And every single instance, I thought the meme-ified version of the scandal was like exaggerating things.
00:00:05.840A great example to start is the accusation that Harris kept people in prison to use as chief laborers.
00:00:13.180I thought what they must mean is she didn't let some people out of prison and the state probably had a policy at the same time of using the people as laborers.
00:00:22.480There is no way she went on record and said,
00:00:25.700And I'm supposed to release this person, but we need chief labor right now.
00:00:34.400Now, I heard some allegations that she slept her way to her position.
00:00:40.120My assumption about these allegations was maybe she had a relationship with someone else in her department.
00:00:47.220There's no way, there's no way someone who she was sleeping with is on record saying I gave her a job because she was sleeping with me.
00:00:59.680There's no way that this person had an age gap with her.
00:01:05.480Now, age gaps are considered quite hot by quite a few people.
00:01:09.860I don't think you'd find this one hot.
00:01:12.940Harris dated Willie Brown when she was in her 20s and he was 60.
00:01:19.080Surely she didn't provide cover for police who fatally shot people in questionable circumstances.
00:01:40.220I will post a picture here of Kamala Harris's face made up of pictures of black people she kept in jail knowing they were innocent.
00:01:48.820She did this to thousands of black people and she did it to secure the endorsement of the police union to win an election.
00:01:58.420If you wonder, is this the type of person who would put me and my family in jail to win an election?
00:02:04.440No, but genuinely, if you are worried about our democracy, like for people who are like, I am worried about the health of the democracy, you should be terrified of this candidate.
00:03:30.380She stayed very loyal in this respect to the end, saying that he shouldn't drop out and that the deep state had everything handled, basically.
00:03:40.280And then he said recently, OK, I am dropping out and Kamala is the presumptive dominee.
00:03:46.520Well, this is interesting because it wasn't what I thought would happen.
00:03:52.700In fact, I thought it was the least likely thing to happen because it seems like it's literally the only thing that could have happened that was worse than Biden staying at the top of the ticket.
00:04:03.400What I suspected would happen is they would have some sort of election cycle at the convention or some sort of write-in thing, and they would choose another candidate.
00:04:12.360But we need to talk about why I didn't expect anyone to give Kamala Harris this.
00:04:18.860Because in broad terms, you know, when BLM was marching on the streets, right, the human manifestation of every complaint they had is Kamala Harris.
00:04:38.180She is a human manifestation of all of the complaints of the BLM movement.
00:04:46.140Well, and Malcolm is saying this because prior to becoming a senator, prior to becoming vice president, Kamala Harris was a district attorney in California.
00:04:54.620And we'll be talking about her record in this.
00:05:13.300No, and there was even one in Southern California that was so egregious in not putting away criminals and sort of just letting them out that, you know, they ultimately were removed.
00:05:21.860So it's not the problem that she was a district attorney.
00:05:24.700The problem is she was an authoritarian district attorney.
00:05:27.820Like, her politics, and I think this is really interesting, and we mentioned it in a previous episode, are the Democratic Party right now is made up of a few aligned factions, and we'll do an episode on this.
00:05:42.460They moved from the Republican side to the Democratic side, as well as intergenerational wealth, which now is, like, straight up incredibly left-leaning.
00:05:50.920Another side is the urban monocultural faction.
00:05:54.040These are people who are primarily dominated by this, like, cult, basically, that exists now and is seen in things like wokeism and DEI and stuff like that.
00:06:05.720Kamala Harris is in neither of these factions.
00:06:08.320She's in the third Democratic faction, which I call the authoritarian faction, which is primarily driven by the belief that society can be fixed by strict government control, either by police forces or by military.
00:06:24.080Which she has shown through her actions, which we'll go over.
00:06:28.240But I would say this is notable because it's otherwise very difficult to even get a picture of what Kamala Harris thinks or believes.
00:06:35.220She's kind of famous for non-statement statements and also for demonstrating whatever is the most politically in vogue amongst Democrats at the time.
00:06:44.780So the interesting analysis that Malcolm has done recently and what I think is going to be most interesting about this conversation is what, through Kamala Harris's actions, the few times she has sort of done something, it's irrevocably like taking a stand on something.
00:06:57.900What that actually reveals about her true beliefs?
00:07:00.340Because it can be very hard to center in on what they are.
00:07:03.180And I have, well, I don't think it's hard when you look at her actions.
00:07:07.040She is completely authoritarian minded.
00:07:09.640I've looked, I know, but I've looked through the coverage of her, discussion of her from both her proponents and her detractors.
00:07:16.500And there is very little discussion of her actual track record.
00:07:21.380Well, and this has also been interesting for me.
00:07:23.380And I think that there, before we get into this, the progressive media is making a huge fundamental misstep here.
00:07:29.820Wynne retired and said, Kamala Harris is who I am backing.
00:07:34.440You know, you look at your Rachel Maddows and I'll do some stuff here.
00:07:36.980I'll call it like Kamala Harris derangement syndrome.
00:07:39.140With President Biden voicing a strong and unequivocal endorsement of his vice president, Kamala Harris, with Vice President Harris confirming immediately that she is running, saying we have 107 days until Election Day.
00:07:53.560Together we will fight and together we will win with no resulting ambiguity about who will be the Democratic Party's nominee.
00:08:00.700The little scratchy, papery sound you're hearing in the distance, that's every Democratic donor in the country writing the biggest check they have ever written in American politics.
00:08:11.980Where they all just went over how amazing Kamala Harris is as a candidate.
00:08:21.600We actually earlier today in the episode, we'll go live later.
00:08:24.380We're doing an episode with Maxim Lott, who runs a lot of the betting odds websites.
00:08:28.040The betting odds right here now give her a third probability to win against Trump, while most other Democrats actually are like 63% or 65% probability to win.
00:08:38.460Yes, they don't win in the mainstream polls, but that's just because of name recognition.
00:08:43.140The bettors, which are typically more accurate, say that they have a dramatically higher chance of winning.
00:08:48.520And so now we need to talk specifically about why she has such a low probability of winning in her actual record.
00:08:55.760Because the interesting thing about the authoritarian faction of the progressive party is among the progressive elite, and we hang out with these groups and stuff like that, it's a faction that is politically palatable to them, the big business types and stuff like that.
00:09:17.460The democratic base, like any with any numbers, hate the authoritarian side of the party.
00:09:24.020And the authoritarian side exists only because a portion of the party has basically grown up living in the bureaucratic governing system.
00:09:33.880And their views are not built around designing to appealing to the base, but rather the mindset of somebody who's been a lifelong bureaucrat and thinks the bureaucracy knows what's best.
00:09:43.680And when I say best, well, in sort of horrifying ways.
00:09:47.880So I'm going to go over a few sort of AI responses on issues because I've been going into AI to sort of get good summaries of various scandals that I happen to know she was involved in.
00:09:57.920And they, in every single instance, I thought the memefied version of the scandal was like exaggerating things.
00:10:04.420And typically the memefied version was more bad than I thought.
00:10:08.680So a great example to start is the accusation that Harris kept people in prison to use as cheap laborers.
00:10:17.380I thought, well, what they must mean is she didn't let some people out of prison and the state probably had a policy at the same time of using the people as laborers.
00:10:27.380There is no way she went on record and said,
00:10:30.620I, I'm supposed to release this person, but we need cheap labor right now.
00:10:44.140The accusation that Kamala Harris used prisoners for labor primarily referred to actions taken by her office while she was attorney general of California.
00:10:53.240Specifically in 2014, lawyers under her oversight argued against the early release of nonviolent inmates, citing the need to maintain a cheap labor force for the state's prison work programs, including those that helped fight wildfires.
00:11:10.880Background details, prison overcrowding and Supreme Court ruling.
00:11:14.820In 2011, the Supreme Court ruled that California's prison overcrowding violated the Constitution's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
00:11:25.400The state was ordered to reduce its prison population, leading to a series of legal and administrative measures to comply with this ruling.
00:11:36.080In 2014, as part of the effort to address overcrowding, a three-judge panel ordered California to make nonviolent prisoners with only two felonies eligible for parole if they had served half their sentences.
00:12:01.620This was backed up by the Supreme Court and then another court.
00:12:04.420Your prison system is cruel and unusual punishment.
00:12:08.800And then Kamala goes, lawyers from Harris's office argued against this order, stating that releasing these inmates would negatively impact the prison labor programs, particularly the fire camp program, essential for combating wildfires during a severe drought.
00:18:08.460This is mostly like poor black families that are being arrested over this because they can't, you know, keep an eye on their kids as easily.
00:18:36.600I actually think police prefer a valuable service in our country.
00:18:40.680However, I don't know optically how Kamala Harris calling herself California's top cop is going to look to the BLM crowd.
00:18:50.440That is who she sees herself as aspirationally.
00:18:54.180She's top cop where to her, the police are a way to info force her social values on a population.
00:19:00.700And we can talk about some of her role in this sort of stuff.
00:19:05.600So here is a, a, a thing where you're like, surely she didn't provide cover for police who fatally shot people in questionable circumstances.
00:19:17.140The query appears to be referring to Kamala Harris's actions or lack thereof regarding police shootings when she was California's attorney general.
00:19:25.580As California's attorney general from 2011 to 2017, Harris did not intervene or investigate several high profile police shootings, despite calls from the public and local officials to do so.
00:19:36.180Specifically, the article mentions that Harris did not investigate the fatal shootings of two unarmed men by the same Anaheim police officer, Nick Velnack, less than a year apart.
00:19:46.800This was despite calls from Anaheim's mayor and members of the public following the second shooting.
00:19:52.340Instead of conducting an independent investigation, Harris left the task to the Orange County District Attorney's Office, which was known for being lenient on police officers and was embroiled in a misconduct scandal at the time.
00:20:04.860Harris suggested her office would review the findings of the district attorney's office, but the article states that there is no evidence that a serious review ever took place.
00:20:13.420And so, and so what happened as a result of this?
00:20:16.860The officer in question was involved in another fatal shooting later.
00:20:28.500The San Bernardo County corruption case was a significant issue involving allegations of bribery, fraud, and other corrupt practices by county officials and developers.
00:20:37.300The case included a controversial 102 million settlement with a developer over a land dispute and allegations of kickback to county officials.
00:20:46.240Critics argue that Harris's office did not take a proactive stance in investigating the corruption allegations in San Bernardo County.
00:20:53.040Despite the gravity of the case, there were perceptions that her office was slow to act and did not pursue the investigation with necessary rigor.
00:21:08.100The moonlit fire incident involved allegations of corruption and misconduct by state employees in relation to wildlife fire investigation.
00:21:15.600The, there were accusations that state officials had falsified reports and engaged in other unethical practices.
00:21:21.540Harris declined to investigate the allegations, citing potential conflicts of interest.
00:21:25.280The decision was criticized as the failure to hold government officials accountable and raise questions about her commitment to addressing corruption.
00:21:32.200So she's not like normal authoritarian.
00:21:35.060Like you might be like, oh, she's a by the rules person.
00:21:38.480No, she's a, the bureaucrats cannot break the law.
00:21:42.280If you are a bureaucrat, your actions are intrinsically good.
00:21:45.940If you are a citizen under the bureaucrats, your actions are intrinsically evil.
00:21:49.900She is a Brown store style, Gestapo style authoritarian.
00:21:56.360Yeah, that's, that's, I'm having a difficulty figuring out ways to like rationalize this after everything you've presented.
00:22:05.500I, I, I mean, I think it's hard for a normal prosecutor, obviously not a crazy woke one to not look a little authoritarian, but this is, this is further along.
00:22:17.120Then, I mean, she also completely lacks empathy.
00:22:20.080So there's a great thing here where she went, she went to the border in 2021, you know, into her candidacy.
00:22:26.800So she went to a, oh God, what was it called again?
00:22:33.400Vice President Kamala Harris visited the border city of El Paso, Texas, marking her first trip to the border since taking office.
00:22:39.160This visit was part of her role in addressing the root cause of migration from Central America, the wave incidents.
00:22:45.040During her visit, Kamala Harris was photographed waving to a group of children who were behind a chain link fence.
00:22:51.560And they were in a child, these were children who had been separated from their parents under her administration and were being kept in a detention center.
00:22:59.320And so she's just like, hey guys, great to see you.
00:23:09.460And if you look at illegal border crossings, if you look at illegal border detentions as well during the Biden presidency, you know, the things that you would criticize a Republican for.
00:23:20.580She is actually, I think in most ways where you actually see her policy positions, quite to the right of Trump in terms of her authoritarian mindedness.
00:23:29.760Which, I don't know, is that going to peel off some Republicans or are they like, yeah, I wanted an authoritarian, not a fascist communist.
00:23:38.520But also she is getting involved with the exception of abortion with policies as a vice president that I think are quite unpopular among many centrists.
00:23:51.800Like, I don't think Americans are very happy with the immigration situation in the United States.
00:23:56.140And that's one of those things she's tried to champion is her thing as vice president, along with activity in Israel, Ukraine, along with activity around voting rights.
00:24:07.780And abortion, I think, is probably the one thing where she's going to do really well.
00:24:15.240I will post a picture here of Kamala Harris's face made up of pictures of black people she kept in jail knowing they were innocent because she did this to thousands of black people.
00:24:27.940And she did it to secure the endorsement of the police union at the time, which she used to win an election.
00:24:37.300So, let's go over this particular incidence here.
00:24:41.100So, first, prosecutorial record, the former district, okay.
00:24:45.760For instance, she was involved in cases where her office failed to disclose crucial information to defense attorneys, leading to the dismissal of numerous drug cases.
00:24:54.520So, let's see what was she talking about in this instance here.
00:24:58.140Kamala Harris's willingness to bend rules to secure convictions can be attributed to several factors, including political ambitions, pressure to improve conviction rates, and the broader context of her prosecutorial career.
00:25:09.380Harris's career trajectory shows a clear pattern of using her prosecutorial record to build a political platform.
00:25:16.080During her first rate for San Francisco district attorney, she campaigned as, quote-unquote, tough on crime, contrasting herself with her more progressive opponent, Terrence Hallihan, who had a low conviction rate.
00:25:27.800So, it is possible to be a district attorney and have a low conviction rate.
00:25:30.940This tough on crime stance helped her gain endorsements from law enforcement and conservative-leaning entities, which were crucial to her electoral success.
00:25:39.700Now, we need to talk about this individual case.
00:25:43.340I like that you're covering a lot of things that are not just her ridiculous speech style and the extent to which she is channeling Selina Meyer from the HBO show Veep, which, for whatever reason, you just don't really like.
00:25:58.480But I've watched, like, three or four times now because it's so friggin' hilarious.
00:26:02.280Okay, so I will go over this particular incident as well.
00:26:08.160So, this scandal occurred while Harris was San Francisco's district attorney and running for California attorney general in 2010.
00:26:14.340So, remember, this occurred so that she could win that second race, which she was able to do, given the high crime conviction rate that she was able to achieve.
00:26:23.040It involved a crime-like technician who was found to have been stealing cocaine from the lab's evidence supply, potentially proposing evidence in numerous drug cases.
00:26:30.800Neither Harris nor her team informed defense attorneys about this issue, despite rules mandating such a disclosure.
00:26:36.080This failure was under-criticized by the superior court judge.
00:26:40.000Initially, Harris shifted blame to the police and downplayed the impact on cases.
00:26:44.140However, as the situation wortened, she took more decisive action.
00:26:48.260To address the growing crisis, Harris made the decision to dismiss around 1,000 drug-related cases to prevent further chaos in the criminal justice system.
00:26:56.260This scandal highlighted Harris' failure after six years as district attorney to establish clear procedures, ensuring defendants were informed about potentially compromised evidence and testimony.
00:27:08.180Harris eventually acknowledged responsibility for her shortcomings.
00:27:13.780Thousands of people were left in jail, and most of them were Black, so that she could win, that should have been notified that they had the right to be released based on compromised evidence,
00:30:31.920In the same way that, like, I describe the two sort of antagonistic sections of the Republican Party being GOP, Inc. and the New Right.
00:30:41.420And then the Trumpists are sort of the middle governing faction.
00:30:44.740In the Democratic power politics, right now, the governing middle faction is, I call it the Democratic gerontocracy.
00:30:52.720These are people who basically think the world still operates the way the world did in the 90s.
00:30:58.500The parties represent what they represented in the 90s.
00:31:01.460And they're just sort of blind to the ways their base in the world has changed.
00:31:06.480And Joe heavily represents that mindset.
00:31:10.140But this mindset is also the mindset of Obama.
00:31:14.420And so it's one that we have seen throughout a lot of the ruling Democratic Party for a long time.
00:31:21.140Now, if you look at the parties that have formed under this, you have the authoritarian faction, which believes that the government should basically, through the police force, control every aspect of your life.
00:31:30.360And then the other group, which believes that the government should be torn apart, then we need to move towards some sort of new system of governance.
00:33:23.220They gained power because the old GOP was an alliance of the frats and the big business interests.
00:33:31.100When big business interests left, the remainders of that faction were no longer tethered to any sort of economic reality.
00:33:38.460And a few elites that had worked their way to the top and had worked within bureaucracy for a long time, because they live and breathe bureaucracy, to them, bureaucracy is how you solve all problems.
00:33:48.080You just need more Christian bureaucracy.
00:33:50.340And in our Discord and some of our comments, people are like, oh, yeah, that'll work.
00:33:54.040A more Christian democracy, bureaucracy.
00:33:57.640Marxism plus Christianity, these two things are opposed to each other.
00:34:01.280When you hold these two mindsets together, you end up fundamentally failing.
00:34:06.320When countries try to enforce a Christian value system on a population, they don't help that population get into heaven.
00:34:14.380You know, preventing gay people from marrying doesn't help save their souls.
00:34:19.320What it makes is the church their enemy, and it makes it less likely that they're going to view the church favorably and engage with it.
00:34:26.460And you're unable to win elections, and you're not even appealing to the vast majority of the Republican base, which is a pro-gay marriage at this point.
00:34:35.100It's something like only 30% still oppose it.
00:34:37.220So the idea that, like, this is a good idea is just dumb.
00:34:41.340But they have a vast amount of power within the political apparatus of the Republican Party.
00:34:47.820It's the same with the authoritarian faction of the Democrats.
00:34:50.320They have lived and breathed bureaucracy their entire life, and so from their perspective, the bureaucracy enforcing the urban monocultural value system is the best way to make a good society.
00:35:02.860And so it's this faction that is, like, I think if you're talking about, like, the Democratic base, how big is it?
00:35:10.400I'd say it's maybe 12%, 13% of the Democratic base, really just a few specific public sector unions and a few, you know, people who really agree with this sort of strict teacher mindset.
00:35:22.780But I'd argue that they're a good 60% of the Democratic political apparatus.
00:35:32.860Especially the younger individuals in the Democratic political apparatus.
00:35:36.820And they are way more dangerous than the wokes because they're more efficient, and they really have no moral system they operate off of except for accumulate power, exercise power.
00:35:49.960And this really exemplifies how divorced from humans many political factions have become.
00:35:56.180And by that I mean, like, it is more unions, it is more large bureaucracies that are selecting and platforming these candidates and ensuring that they have money, and not individual people, not the interests of families or even, like, smaller churches or, you know, workers' associations.
00:38:36.020She's wanted to be very publicly and prominently involved in immigration, in foreign policy, in gun control.
00:38:43.960I mean, let's talk about the gun control issue here really quickly.
00:38:47.980So, for example, her suggestion to use executive orders for gun control if Congress didn't pass an act within 100 days was viewed by critics as bypassing the legislative process.
00:38:58.800So, if you're, like, afraid somebody's going to take your guns, yeah, she wants to use executive authority to declare an executive act, regardless of what Congress and the Senate do, to take your guns.
00:39:08.060This is not a, well, there's a reason why I was telling you this morning.
00:39:11.460I'm like, we should get more AR-15s and have one on the wall in any room of the house.
00:39:31.840But so, what also surprises me is that normally, when you're selecting a presidential candidate, you're trying to go as centrist as possible.
00:39:42.080And she's actually a lot more, what's weird is that she's more hardline authoritarian, as you've pointed out, but she's also perceived in the media.
00:39:52.040And she presents herself as being a lot more far left, as being more extreme progressive, more extreme woke.
00:40:01.700And that was how I think she was selected from a narrative perspective as the running mate.
00:40:07.120You know, she was the party's apology to people who wanted to be castigated by a non-white female.
00:40:17.280Or the jail Black people, jail black mothers.
00:40:20.920Well, yes, I guess that's just the non-white female they got.
00:40:23.900But she's still absolutely playing up the role of the more extreme leftist candidate here.
00:40:32.360So there's, I feel like there's this really weird interplay between this, like, conservative authoritarian and this, like, woke avatar or amulet being used by progressives.
00:40:46.660She's not a conservative authoritarian, she's a communist authoritarian.
00:40:54.580But we've also got to keep in mind why I don't think she has a shot, like a shot shot at all.
00:41:00.340So one thing that is going to keep Democrats from voting from her, and a lot of Democrats have said, I just will not make this vote, is her stance on Israel.
00:41:09.460You know, she is pro-Israel in this war.
00:41:12.380And for a lot of Democrats, that is an absolute red line for a candidate.
00:41:19.620But they wouldn't have voted for Biden anyway.
00:41:22.260So that's the thing, is she's marginally, slightly marginally better in some people's eyes.
00:41:28.500And that's, I guess, what we're going for now.
00:41:30.740And by we, I guess not we, because that's what Democrats are going for now.
00:41:34.060Yeah, I just say that if she is running, one thing that, the thing that scares me most about her running is the possibility of her winning.
00:41:43.720Not because I think she actually has a possibility of winning, but I think that if she wins, it will be confirmation for most sane Americans that there was, without any shadow of a doubt, election rigging.
00:41:57.940Just because there's, the interest in her is so mediocre.
00:42:05.260She's, there's no way she could be, I mean, with the assassination attempt and the, you know.
00:42:10.880A lot can happen in the intervening hundred days or so that we have to.
00:42:14.120Yeah, yeah, maybe, maybe there's some big thing that blows up for Trump.
00:42:17.040But if, but if things are continuing on the path that they've been going, right, and I saw her elected, I would say, I absolutely, like me personally, do not believe that's possible with the current electorate.
00:42:29.260I don't know, because I don't think that Democrats who are looking to vote for someone who's not Trump are going to understand that when they're being told by mainstream media figures that Trump is advocating for a nationwide ban on abortions, which he's not.
00:42:51.600But that's what people are being told, and that, you know, Trump plans on doing, you know, like is, is fully in support of, of Project 2024, which he's not, but that's what people are still saying.
00:43:05.040Trump literally read it into the, to the Republican platform, people who don't know, that one, marriage is not between a man and a woman.
00:43:11.520So like, I don't think, I don't know, gay Republican platform now, he literally wrote into the Republican platform, nothing about this abortion stuff, which, which they wanted to write in, you know, he pushed against that.
00:43:24.400He said, look, I won you the abortion victory already that you needed.
00:43:42.280They're saying, oh, and now Trump has selected for his VP pick J.D. Vance, who is in favor of categorically removing all abortion access, even in the case.
00:43:55.240Well, but my argument is, it doesn't matter what reality is.
00:43:58.480What matters is that people who are Democrats and who are not already interested in voting for Trump, and there are many people, are not going to be exposed to information that shows them that the other side is more moderate than they think.
00:44:45.080Everybody remembers the Dems attacking her, even was in Dem media.
00:44:49.340They know about all of her convictions.
00:44:51.520And I'm sure that this was something that was top of mind during the presidency of, like, why we still need to watch out about a Biden presidency.
00:44:58.820She was always the black mark on his presidency.
00:45:02.880And so I think that, I think that just more Democrats remember this.
00:45:08.160I think that this has pierced the informational veil already by Dems pushing it.
00:45:14.680And it's also why Dems can't have a contested convention.
00:45:17.600Because if they have a contested convention, and I suspect this is why they're not pushing for one right now, and she ends up winning, it will be out within Dems' circles all of the crazy stuff she's done.
00:48:08.100So, Kamala Harris identifies as a Baptist.
00:48:12.400She grew up in an interfaith household, attending both a Black Baptist church and a Hindu temple.
00:48:17.960Her mother, Shamala Goplana, was Hindi, and her father, Donald Harris, was Christian.
00:48:23.900Harris emphasized that her faith journey began in her adulthood, where she and her sister attended services at the 23rd Avenue Church of God in Oakland, California.
00:48:33.240Harris' religious identity is also influenced by her marriage to Douglas Emhoff, who is Jewish.
00:48:38.880They incorporate Jewish traditions and celebrations in their home life.
00:48:42.020Harris has expressed that her faith is an integral part of her life and leadership, describing it as something that extends beyond worship services to the way she lives and works.
00:48:51.940So, you know, I think if you wanted a Christian dictator, Kamala Harris is a good pick.
00:49:11.660And literally now, you know, we have a cartoonish president who came from the internet and TV and a woman who, you know, has been in countless side-by-side comparisons with Selina Meyer of Veep.
00:49:29.680Veep is an HBO TV show about a fictional vice president who is very self-centered and incompetent and not actually interested in, like, doing good things.
00:49:57.940Well, I mean, she seems, from everything I've seen of her, pretty low IQ, but high diligence.
00:50:04.320Like, she's got a good work ethic, which I appreciate, but she doesn't appear to be, like, cognitively all there, which is also really interesting about her.
00:50:12.100Hi, I'm Oliver Bartholomew, and I'm 16 and a half years old, and I'm the speechwriter for Kamala Harris.
