00:00:04.000Congress is back in session, which means Democrats are now going to have to answer questions about whether Joe Biden ought to remain the nominee.
00:00:12.000But before we get to any of that, I have something really important to share with you.
00:00:15.000So Kamala Harris is the most important person in the country right now because either she's going to take over the presidency now and take over Joe Biden's campaign right now, or if God forbid he wins, she'll be the president afterward.
00:00:25.000But nobody knows anything about Kamala Harris other than she's really irritating and the laughter and all of that.
00:00:29.000But That doesn't have to be the case, because tonight, Scamala, Kamala Harris Unmasked, is my new three-part series.
00:01:01.000In this documentary podcast, we're peeling back the layers of Kamala Harris' career, exposing the scandals, the missteps, and the awkwardness that have come to define her journey.
00:01:12.000Kamala Harris is a scam artist, and that scam artist is now a hair's breadth from the Oval Office, where her incompetence and inauthenticity aren't just a problem, they're a dangerous existential issue for the United States.
00:01:23.000Join me in this exclusive three-part series, Scamala!
00:02:29.000Well, we know that's not really what he would say if he could say it as clearly as he could, because if he could say it verbally, it would sound more like this.
00:03:50.000Well, I mean, if he's gonna beat him again in 2020, I mean, at the very least, if he's gonna use the time machine, he should go back to, like, 1856 and beat James Buchanan or something important.
00:03:58.000According to CNN's new survey, by the way, 75% of voters say the Democratic Party would have a better chance against Donald Trump if they backed another candidate.
00:04:05.000More than 50% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning registered voters agreed with that election sentiment.
00:04:11.000So that is a massive problem for Joe Biden.
00:04:13.000This is all starting to get away from him.
00:04:17.000He can be as stubborn as he wants to be, but the pressure is ratcheting up inside the Democratic Party that only became louder on Friday night.
00:04:23.000Biden is very stubborn, but the pressure is ratcheting up inside the Democratic Party just like the pressure on your bills is ratcheting up thanks to Joe Biden.
00:04:29.000You've heard me say for a long time, cell phone service with Pure Talk is half the cost of Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.
00:04:35.000So you might be thinking, what's the catch?
00:04:36.000How can Pure Talk offer unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data for just $20 a month?
00:04:40.000Well, I say just ask the thousands of my other listeners who have already switched over.
00:04:43.000They are loving America's most dependable 5G network.

00:05:26.000That's PureTalk.com slash Shapiro today to get started.
00:05:31.000As we talked about in Friday's show, he was slated to do an interview with George Stephanopoulos.
00:05:35.000And the question was whether George Stephanopoulos was going to try to massage him back into some form of actual living embodiment or whether he was going to put a pillow over his face and smother the old man.
00:05:47.000And it turns out that he was going to put a pillow over his face and smother the old man.
00:05:51.000So Stephanopoulos wasn't asking particularly hard questions if Joe Biden were a sentient person and not a vegetable.
00:05:57.000But the problem is that Joe Biden is now Rutabaga.
00:05:59.000So here was George Stephanopoulos asking Joe Biden, are you the same man you were when you took office?
00:06:04.000And remember, the stakes of this interview?
00:06:08.000Because if Joe Biden had appeared lively and sprightly, if his lie that his debate with Donald Trump was just an off night were true, then he might have been able to get this train back on the rails.
00:06:19.000But the interview was a disaster area.
00:06:22.000Every time he appears on television, for some odd reason, he won't project.
00:06:26.000And so it sounds as though his voice is going, like it's cracking.
00:07:32.000That's what Stephanopoulos is doing right there because that interview, one of the people on the screen was going to exit that interview dead.
00:07:38.000It was either George Stephanopoulos for trying to massage Biden back into life or Biden with the plug pulled by George Stephanopoulos.
00:07:45.000So Joe Biden was asked by Stephanopoulos, when were you aware the debate was going poorly?
00:07:49.000And Joe Biden started wandering like an Alzheimer's patient who accidentally got out the front door.
00:07:56.000Did you ever watch the debate afterwards?
00:08:18.000I prepared what I usually would do, sitting down, as I did come back with foreign leaders or the National Security Council, for explicit detail.
00:08:29.000And I realized about partway through that You know, although I get quoted, the New York Times had me down at ten points before the debate, nine now or whatever the hell it is.
00:08:40.000The fact of the matter is that what I looked at is that he also lied 28 times.
00:08:46.000I couldn't... I mean, the way the debate ran, not my fault, no one else's fault.
00:09:04.000Because again, he's a, he's a crotchety elderly fellow.
00:09:07.000And he says that he's very angry that Democrats want him to leave.
00:09:11.000And also only the Lord God Almighty could make him go.
00:09:14.000That Senator Mark Warner is assembling a group of senators together to try and convince you to stand down because they don't think you can win.
00:09:36.000And if Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi come down and say, we're worried that if you stay in the race, we're going to lose the House and the Senate, how will you respond?
00:10:16.000If 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 gonna lose the House and the Senate if you stay in.
00:10:49.000One of the things that you do in a studio is you turn off the air conditioner.
00:10:52.000Okay, that's not the air conditioner in the background.
00:10:54.000The reason that the audio is so bad is because Joe Biden is speaking so softly that the mics are not properly picking him up.
00:10:59.000So they had to ratchet up the audio level in order to pick up the voice of the President of the United States because that's how weak he was in this interview.
00:11:08.000Stephanopoulos, for his part, was really trying to push Joe Biden over that cliff.
00:11:11.000Like, Joe Biden is grabbing, like a cartoon character, onto the edge of the cliff with his fingernails.
00:12:07.000I mean, this is just George Stephanopoulos beating him with a 2x4.
00:12:11.000And sure, that doesn't have a massive impact because George Stephanopoulos is 5'2 and 87 pounds soaking wet, but still, he's clobbering Biden here.
00:12:19.000So he asks Biden, will you feel guilty if you lose, right?
00:12:21.000Like if you stay in too long and then you lose to Trump, your legacy is that you turn the presidency back over to the guy you say is a threat to democracy.
00:13:05.000So here is CNN reporting on the Biden team's reaction.
00:13:09.000The Biden campaign thinks that the interview last night did exactly what they wanted it to do.
00:13:15.000In their thinking, they think that it showed a president who could respond to these questions, do so in an articulate fashion, and really push back against the concerns about his cognitive health.
00:13:26.000So they're looking at this as a win, seeing it as a strong Okay, there's only one problem.
00:13:42.000Okay, there's only one problem. No one actually believes that. Now listen, as a
00:13:48.000person who wants Donald Trump to win the presidency, I wish that the entire
00:13:52.000Democratic Party bought into this narrative.
00:13:53.000I wish they bought into the narrative that Joe Biden were doing just fine.
00:13:56.000Let me tell you, my synagogue, which is filled with Orthodox Jews who all think that Joe Biden is a terrible president, my synagogue is going to vote 105% for Donald Trump.
00:14:05.000I can tell you that there is a prayer that we do every week for the government of the United States in the middle of Shakhri, which is the morning prayer.
00:14:12.000And that prayer involves a prayer for the health of the President of the United States.
00:14:17.000Never has that prayer been said with more fervor than in my synagogue this weekend.
00:14:22.000Because everybody who wants Trump to win is like, I hope that this guy lasts.
00:14:58.000Because right now, qualifying purchases by July 31st are eligible to get a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition Golden Truth Bomb, which is a pretty cool item.
00:15:05.000The only way to claim your eligibility is by texting BEN to 98980.
00:15:09.000Protect your savings by diversifying away from the U.S.
00:15:38.000Now, the reality is that the leaks are now beginning and the information is accruing,
00:15:43.000suggesting that Joe Biden, of course, is not well.
00:15:45.000The Daily Wire's Luke Groziak has looked at the White House's own official transcripts, and according to Daily Wire, they suggest that President Joe Biden's speaking errors have grown steadily worse, with his rate of missteps doubling in the 12 months leading up to his disastrous debate performance in June.
00:15:58.000White House staff tasked with preparing transcripts of his speeches and remarks cross out Biden's erroneous words or insert the words he should have said using brackets.
00:16:05.000They had to do that a staggering 51 times in May 2024.
00:16:09.000The rate of errors per word spoken was one of the worst of his presidency.
00:16:12.000He was whisked out of the public eye for much of June, speaking only half the number of words in official remarks he normally does, until of course his cognitive difficulties captured the world's attention at the June 27th debate.
00:16:23.000And there is a chart demonstrating exactly how bad it is.
00:16:27.000And the answer is an arithmetic increase in the number of errors spoken.
00:16:31.000In June 2023, the White House corrected 33 errors, amounting to an error rate of 3.2 per 10,000 words.
00:16:37.000The 51 errors in May led to a rate of 7.2 for that month when he spoke 70,000 words.
00:16:42.000Hey, so that means that it has been gradually increasing.
00:16:45.000The corrections have continued this month.
00:16:48.000The White House transcript is a total mess.
00:16:55.000And of course, this is something that the White House has now made sort of de rigueur.
00:16:59.000So Maureen Dowd writes this at the New York Times.
00:17:02.000And she points out, quote, When I saw the Michael Scheer story in the Times on July 4th recounting how President Biden had stumbled talking to black radio hosts days after his debate debacle, telling one he was proud to have been the first black woman to serve with a black president, I knew it spelled trouble.
00:17:17.000First of all, if any white man could claim to be the first black woman in the Oval, it was Bill Clinton.
00:17:20.000Black fans called him the first black president, and feminist fans called him the first woman president.
00:17:24.000Second of all, we were entering a new post-debate examination period with President Biden where every word would be scrutinized.
00:17:29.000But as she points out, she got a call, so she wrote about this, and then she got a call from somebody in the Biden campaign.
00:17:38.000quote, in my Saturday column, I quoted Biden's line to ABC's at George Stephanopoulos about
00:17:43.000how he would feel if Trump were sworn in as president because he refused to step aside.
00:17:46.000Quote, I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do.
00:17:51.000That's what this is about. Now, goodest isn't a word.
00:17:54.000By my researcher, Andrew Trunsky, and I listened to the video our ears up against the computer ten times.
00:18:12.000Another story used, I did as good a job as I know I can do.
00:18:15.000After my column posted Saturday morning, T.J.
00:18:17.000Ducklow, a Biden campaign spokesman, emailed me to flag the ABC News updated transcript to read, I'll feel as long as I give it my all and I did the job as good as I know I can do.
00:18:28.000Ducklow asked if I could tweak the column and change the word Goodist to make my piece consistent with the corrected transcript, even though the revised version was also gobbledygook.
00:18:36.000This is what the Biden campaign is now focused on.
00:18:39.000There are so many errors and so many mistakes that Joe Biden is making out there that they basically have to send out a team of firefighters to put out every brush fire that Joe Biden sets.
00:19:05.000I mean, again, that's the dead giveaway.
00:19:06.000If you want to take a cognitive test, we can all assume what the outcome of that test would be.
00:19:10.000According to White House visitor logs reviewed by the New York Post, Dr. Kevin Kennard, a Parkinson's disease expert at Walter Reed Medical Center, met with Dr. Kevin O'Connor, a doctor of osteopathic medicine, who has treated the president for years.
00:19:21.000The visit took place at the White House Residence Clinic, 17th of January.
00:19:25.000Kennard has visited the White House eight times since August 2023.
00:19:31.000You have a Parkinson's doctor visiting the White House eight times since August of 2023.
00:19:36.000Meanwhile, we now know that Hunter Biden is the gatekeeper for the President of the United States.
00:19:42.000According to Axios, we're now in uncharted historic waters.
00:19:46.000President Biden, backed by First Lady Jill Biden and his convicted son Hunter, who's serving as de facto gatekeeper for longtime friends, says nothing besides an act of God will persuade him to quit his re-elect campaign.
00:19:57.000I mean, that is a career trajectory right there.
00:19:59.000Crack cocaine addict felon to gatekeeper for president of the United States.
00:20:04.000All it takes is daddy in the White House.
00:20:09.000According to Mediaite, documents prepared by staff for President Joe Biden ahead of public events were provided to Axios on Sunday, showing what one unnamed staffer described as a detailed verbal and visual instruction on how to enter and exit a room.
00:20:22.000Axios reported on documents prepared for Biden ahead of events that included some extremely basic instructions with large print and photos that include his precise path to a podium.
00:20:31.000The article includes two screenshots of the documents.
00:20:35.000So they literally are giving him sheets that show a picture of his path from behind a curtain to a podium.
00:20:42.000You know, I speak at events all the time.
00:20:43.000I have never had to be provided an actual photo confirmation of how to get from point A, behind a curtain, to point B at a podium.
00:20:51.000Somebody just comes backstage and says the podium is center stage.
00:21:02.000So Joe Biden did a radio interview on Friday, and this was supposed to be another one of the examples of Joe Biden demonstrating that he has the stamina and he has the vitality to run this race.
00:21:12.000And then the radio hosts admitted that they were given questions by Joe Biden's team to ask him directly.
00:21:18.000By the way, the radio station then fired the radio host over the weekend.
00:21:21.000Here was CNN's interview with the radio host.
00:21:26.000You asked four questions, and maybe that's what you were allowed to ask by the campaign or the White House.
00:21:32.000But they were essentially the same questions, both interviews, about accomplishments, progress in your respective state, what's at stake in the election, what he has to say about his debate performance, and what he would say to voters who think their vote doesn't matter or might sit this election out.
00:21:47.000Were those questions given to you by the White House or did you have, or the campaign, or did you have to submit questions ahead of this interview?
00:21:58.000The questions were sent to me for approval.
00:22:27.000I don't have to know that much about them, neither do you, with Balance of Nature Fruits and Veggies.

00:23:22.000Meanwhile, by the way, Peter Baker, who's the Times' chief White House correspondent, says, according to the New York Times, that he has started using translation headsets on overseas trips to listen to Biden, okay, not to listen to, like, Emmanuel Macron, because he's speaking in French, to try to understand what Biden is saying, because he can be, like, five feet away from Biden and still not pick up exactly what Joe Biden is saying.
00:23:44.000This is all a full-scale disaster, and again, it's nothing new.
00:23:49.000The media are acting shocked and appalled by everything that's happening right now.
00:23:52.000The only thing they're shocked and appalled by is the fact that the Biden campaign put Biden so out front and center that it became obvious and apparent to everyone that he is in his declining phase of his sunset years.
00:24:03.000You'll remember back in October 2023, Joe Biden walking around with note cards.
00:24:19.000So when the radio host says we were provided questions, that's been going on four months.
00:24:24.000In just March of this year, there was video of handlers removing the press from like basic scenarios with the president of the United States.
00:24:52.000For his part, as Jonathan Karl reports over at ABC News, Joe Biden seems unaware of the danger of this election.
00:24:57.000He seems unaware that Democrats are abandoning him in droves.
00:25:00.000And that's going to be the story of this week.
00:25:01.000Again, Congress is back in session as of today.
00:25:03.000When Congress comes back into session, there will be reporters all over the House, and they'll be asking every Democratic House member if they believe that Joe Biden is either sentient or whether he can beat Donald Trump.
00:25:14.000It's going to be a disaster area for Joe Biden this week.
00:25:18.000Biden looked better and certainly more coherent than he looked during the debate.
00:25:24.000But there was nothing in this interview that is calming nerves of jittery Democrats who fear that Joe Biden is on a trajectory to lose this race, to lose to Donald Trump.
00:25:37.000In fact, for some of those people, the interview is raising new concerns.
00:25:43.000Particularly the fact that he is unwilling or unaware of the fact that he is in a dire situation here regarding the campaign, that he is losing in the view of many Democrats, and frankly, in the polls you cited, that he is losing to Donald Trump.
00:26:02.000By the way, those polls currently show Donald Trump is up more than three points in the RealClearPolitics National 2A Average.
00:26:12.000Because the Electoral College, again, favors Donald Trump.
00:26:15.000They're a bunch of purple states where Donald Trump could win very slightly and lose the popular vote.
00:26:19.000If Donald Trump wins the popular vote by, say, three or four points in this election cycle, he's going to win north of 310 electoral votes.
00:26:25.000It's going to be a full-scale blowout.
00:26:27.000So the panic has set in among Democrats.
00:26:30.000According to Axios, a fast-growing number of Democrats are praying for and plotting a more earthly intervention.
00:26:36.000As compared to Joe Biden saying that God is going to come down and tell him.
00:26:38.000By the way, God already came down and told you in the form of you not being able to form sentences out of your face hole.
00:26:44.000They want everyone from the Obamas to congressional leaders to beg Biden to drop out by Friday.
00:26:48.000Biden does have a press conference scheduled for Thursday.
00:26:52.000And of course, Democratic lawmakers have gone from shock to sadness to madness since the debate 10 days ago.
00:26:57.000These Democrats, further deflated by Biden's high-stakes ABC interview, believe there's nothing he can do to reverse the damage or his aging.
00:27:03.000A House Democrat said, quote, the bleep is going to hit the fan on Monday when Congress returns.
00:27:06.000People are scared about their own races.
00:27:07.000They're also worried about the country and about democracy.
00:27:10.000Lawmakers were antsy enough about Biden during their 4th of July break this past week that it'll be even greater torque when they're venting, raging, and plotting in person.
00:27:19.000A top Democratic operative said, quote, Well, this whole election cycle might have you tossing and turning in bed at night.
00:27:29.000That's just another reason you need my friends over at Bull & Branch.
00:27:32.000Let me tell you, their stuff is awesome.
00:27:37.000Like, I'd have to put my feet outside the blanket, and sometimes I want the blanket, and sometimes I don't.
00:27:42.000Not anymore, because Bull & Branch is here to help you never sleep hot again, with sheets that are woven to allow airflow and feel cool and crisp to the touch.
00:27:48.000Perfect for people like me, who tend to sleep hot.
00:27:50.000Bull & Branch has amazing options for hot sleepers.
00:27:53.000You can choose from 100% organic cotton percale, Made with a naturally cooling weave or their linen which is made from European flax to be light, airy, and softer than soft.
00:28:00.000I'm just telling you, bowl and branch is amazing.
00:28:02.000Like they're so good that I personally went into the local bowl and branch store here in Florida to buy extra stuff because I needed it like right now.
00:29:23.000And so, this is a real problem for him, and it's something that shows up in every poll.
00:29:32.000Joe Biden, for his part, is attempting to do direct outreach, which is quieting zero of the questions about him.
00:29:38.000According to CBS News, the Biden-Harris campaign is stepping up its outreach to lawmakers amid growing calls for Biden to step down from the ticket.
00:29:44.000Biden has personally made 20 calls to congressional members since last month's presidential debate in Atlanta.
00:29:52.000He's got 200 Democratic members of the Congress.
00:29:55.000And he's got 50 senators, so good luck with that, Mr. President.
00:29:58.000Last week, the White House said the President spoke with several key allies, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Representative Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, Senator Chris Coons of Delaware.
00:30:10.000Very few of these people, by the way, are coming out in open defense.
00:30:12.000According to Punchbowl News, which again, is maybe the best newsletter from Capitol Hill, by Jake Sherman, he says, the President's backing among Hill Democrats, especially inside the House Democratic Caucus, is slipping.
00:30:22.000The questions at this point are whether that support completely collapses, and if it does, what Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will do.
00:30:29.000So far, the two top Democrats have said little.
00:30:31.000Schumer said he backs Biden, while Jeffries acknowledged Biden's debate performance was bad, but added, quote, I believe a setback is nothing more than a setup for a comeback.
00:30:38.000There's been some extravagant speculation that Schumer and Jeffries would somehow lead a high-level Democratic delegation to the White House and tell Biden he needs to step aside in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:30:52.000is that there's a split among Democrats, House versus Senate, swing districts versus safe seats, veteran lawmakers versus their younger colleagues.
00:30:58.000None of this falls along typical fault lines, however, which makes the situation incredibly difficult to read.
00:31:02.000But it's clear Biden's support among Hill Democrats is tenuous at best.
00:31:07.000Many Democrats are expressing strong doubts about whether Biden can win.
00:31:10.000This includes Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, Don Beyer of Virginia, who held a fundraiser with Biden and said during a call, quote, my perfect world is Joe, in deciding after talking to Leader Jeffries, Majority Leader Schumer, and others.
00:31:29.000He also said Biden has trouble putting two sentences together.
00:31:31.000Then when he received a call from the White House, he backtracked and said, quote, I support President Biden.
00:31:36.000So again, the chaos is absolutely setting in.
00:31:40.000Politico reports, with Democratic lawmakers returning today from an incredibly well-timed congressional recess, a growing cadre among them is preparing to publicly urge Biden to call off his re-elect bid.
00:31:49.000More than that, some want their leaders to nudge him out.
00:31:53.000This is a full-scale disaster area for Joe Biden.
00:31:56.000Jonathan Martin has a look at how Biden sees a path out of the wilderness.
00:32:00.000Basically, he's going to keep doubling down on upper-crust white liberals and black Democrats.
00:32:06.000He believes that he's going to get the support of African-American Democrats and Union allies.
00:32:10.000And meanwhile, he's going to try to portray all of the Obama types as sort of out of touch.
00:32:15.000But a bunch of Democrats, including Judiciary Chief Jerry Nadler, are questioning whether Biden can prosecute the case against Donald Trump.
00:32:23.000Adam Smith, Democrat of Washington, insisted that Biden could not fix the damage that was already done.
00:32:29.000Adam Schiff says that he is concerned that Joe Biden could lose them House seats.
00:32:34.000When I talk to Democrats, one of the exchanges that frustrated the most from that interview on Friday was when he was asked, what happens if you lose?
00:32:43.000President Biden said it's about whether he gave it his all.
00:33:37.000He's the most powerful man in the world, and his brain does not function properly, and he makes jokes about his brain not functioning properly, as he did last week.
00:33:46.000One thing that is obvious to everyone is that if Joe Biden were leading by 10 points in the polls right now, Democrats would still be maintaining that he is perfectly healthy.
00:33:53.000So the real problem is that people saw the thing.
00:33:56.000The emperor's new clothes were revealed not to exist.
00:34:08.000They're not doing that because they're looking at the poll numbers, but there are still Democrats who are still hedging because they're smart enough to realize that if you can't force Joe Biden out of the race, and Joe Biden, all he has to do is solve for time here.
00:34:18.000No one can make Joe Biden leave the race.
00:34:49.000Now, again, he could theoretically resign the nomination even after he was formally nominated sometime in October or something.
00:34:55.000So it wouldn't be the end of the story.
00:34:56.000The ticket would still appear as the ticket and Kamala Harris would be the person who wins the election.
00:35:00.000With that said, if he wants to stick this thing out, all he has to do is stick this thing out for another 30 days and all the questions go away and Democrats then have to rally around the flag.
00:35:09.000Here's an MSNBC panel in defense of Joe Biden claiming everything is hunky-dory.
00:35:14.000I would suggest that the response of that very small number of Democrats who have really come out after the president and some of the media folks that have really come down on him since the election have done more damage and more harm than the president himself did during that debate.
00:35:33.000It is naive to think that at this point in the process, you can switch candidates and still defeat Donald Trump.
00:35:40.000I really wish the Democrats would understand exactly what they're doing right now to their opportunity this November, four months from now.
00:35:48.000I've just never seen such an absolute creation of a wasteland around a candidate by his own people.
00:35:59.000Okay, in one second, we'll get to more of Democrats who are now trying to defend Joe Biden in the face of all of this.
00:36:06.000But folks, again, as I've mentioned, Kamala Harris is now the most important person in the country because she's very likely to be either the person who replaces Biden on the ticket.
00:36:16.000If Biden steps down, it's gonna be her.
00:36:17.000If Biden steps down from the presidency, it will be President Kamala Harris.
00:36:20.000If he were to win the election, certainly she would fill out his second term, which means that she is the most undermentioned person in America right now, and nobody knows anything about her other than she's kind of obnoxious and inauthentic.
00:36:31.000But now you can find out everything you need to know about her.
00:36:34.000Scamala, Kamala Harris Unmasked, is my new three-part series.
00:36:37.000We're bringing you a live, free premiere tonight, 7 Eastern, Daily Wire+.
00:36:41.000You want to be able to tell all your friends what it is about Kamala Harris that's the problem?
00:36:44.000This is the series that gives you all the information.
00:36:47.000It's a deep dive all the way into her history, all the way up till today.
00:36:52.000I'll be doing a real-time live chat with you as it premieres tonight at Daily Wire+.
00:36:56.000I've been digging deep into Kamala Harris' past, exposing the truth that the legacy media have largely been ignoring.
00:37:01.000From our calculated climb in California politics to our catastrophic vice presidency, I leave no stone unturned.
00:37:07.000Every scandal, every gaffe, every radical policy, it's all in there.
00:37:10.000I'm talking backroom deals, failed presidential campaigns, a vice presidency in chaos, the lies, the inauthenticity, the lack of any centralizing principle.
00:37:41.000In this documentary podcast, we're peeling back the layers of Kamala Harris' career, exposing the scandals, the missteps, and the awkwardness that have come to define her journey.
00:37:51.000Kamala Harris is a scam artist, and that scam artist is now a hair's breadth from the Oval Office, where her incompetence and inauthenticity aren't just a problem, they're a dangerous existential issue for the United States.
00:38:02.000Join me in this exclusive three-part series, Scamala!
00:39:46.000And Democrats, some of them, are obeying his orders.
00:39:49.000That would include Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who says, don't worry, he doesn't need a cognitive test.
00:39:53.000He needs a cognitive test, by the way.
00:39:56.000I don't really know what the substance of those tests are, whether the measurement would be impactful for voters that have questions.
00:40:03.000I think it's much more important for the president to be in a conversation with voters this week in an unscripted way to show that he is still the old Joe Biden.
00:40:14.000I think that would be a much more effective way to answer people's questions than some medical test.
00:40:21.000Do you believe that at this point Joe Biden could beat Donald Trump and stop the litany of things that you just listed from happening?
00:41:29.000One of those ways that I think about is the fact that even those Democrats that are calling for the president to step aside, they're not calling for the president to step aside because they think that Joe Biden's a terrible person, because they think that he's a failure.
00:41:41.000They're calling for him to step aside because they are scared.
00:41:45.000The only thing that I'm asking everyone to do is to unite around the ticket.
00:41:50.000The ticket at this point in time is Biden and Harris.
00:41:54.000And so long as the president says that he can do this job, then that is our ticket.
00:42:50.000Now, it is worth pointing out at this point that according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Trump is ahead in Arizona by 5, in Nevada by 5, in Wisconsin by 2, in Michigan by 1, in Pennsylvania by almost 5, in Georgia by 4.
00:43:02.000These are terrible numbers for Joe Biden.
00:43:05.000That is the real reason why you're seeing all of this heartburn.
00:43:07.000The other problem that Democrats have is that there's no sure answer to the question as to whether replacing him on the ticket with Kamala Harris would actually be good.
00:44:51.000As of the year 2025, whether he is elected or whether he is not elected, he will not be president anymore.
00:44:56.000And we all know this, which means that she would be the president of the United States.
00:44:59.000So the media are already starting to sort of dredge up some fake enthusiasm for her.
00:45:05.000And no one has enthusiasm for Kamala Harris.
00:45:07.000Remember, she ran a horrible presidential campaign where she failed so dramatically, she had to drop out before her home state of California, despite the fact that very early on she was actually leading the race.
00:45:16.000Then she was out in the political wilderness until George Floyd died, at which point Joe Biden, in an act of political desperation, picked her because he needed a black woman on the ticket.
00:45:23.000Now we're all supposed to forget, by the way, that she was picked because she was a black woman.
00:45:27.000I love this idiot game that the media love to play, where they say out loud, she was picked because she's a black woman, and it's very, very historic that she's a black woman.
00:45:34.000And then when we say, that's racist to pick her because she's a black woman.
00:45:38.000That she's a DEI candidate, meaning that she was picked for diversity, equity, and inclusion, not out of merit, not because she was the best person for VP, not because she was the most qualified person to be a hair's breadth from the presidency, but because she was a black woman, and Joe Biden said it at the time.
00:46:33.000One of my favorite things about the games that the left plays with regard to race
00:46:36.000is it's like the most, it's the world's dumbest version of who's on first.
00:46:41.000Truly, it's like an idiot version of who's on first.
00:46:43.000The old Abbott and Costello routine where they're going back and forth about the player who plays first base for the local team, his name is who?
00:48:37.000Some options are 100% online and let you avoid those unnecessary medical exams.

00:49:18.000Meanwhile, Donald Trump is playing it very smart in this campaign.
00:49:21.000Again, I think the incentive structures and the way Donald Trump thinks about campaigns has changed in 2024.
00:49:25.000In 2016, Trump thought there was no way he was going to win, so he said anything he wanted to say.
00:49:30.000In 2020, Trump thought there was no way he could lose, so he could say anything he wanted to say.
00:49:33.000In 2024, he's being very, very careful.
00:49:36.000So that's one reason why, for example, he's been out ripping on Project 2025.
00:49:39.000Because Democrats have been going after the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025.
00:49:44.000And so Trump came back and said, I don't like it, which is a great way to take it off the table in the same way that he's now taken abortion off the table for Democrats.
00:49:50.000Now he's begging Joe Biden to stay in the race.
00:49:53.000He put a post out on truth social saying crooked Joe Biden should ignore his many critics and move forward with alacrity and strength with his powerful and far reaching campaign.
00:50:00.000He should be sharp, precise and energetic, just like he was in the debate and selling his policies of open borders.
00:50:04.000where millions of people, including record numbers of terrorists, are allowed to enter our country
00:50:07.000from prisons and mental institutions totally unchecked and unvetted, to ending social security,
00:50:11.000men playing in women's sports, high taxes, high interest rates, encouraging a woke military,
00:50:15.000uncontrollable inflation, record-setting crime, only electric vehicles, subservience to China
00:50:18.000and other countries, endless wars, putting America last, losing our dollar-based standard,
00:50:21.000and so much more. Yes, Sleepy Joe should continue his campaign of American destruction
00:50:26.000and make China great again. I have no notes. He is correct about all of that.
00:50:33.000Meanwhile, the Veep stakes are ongoing in Trump land.
00:50:36.000So Trump was supposed to announce a VP candidate this week.
00:51:16.000He's going to figure out at the time of his choosing among a bunch of great candidates who's going to bring what he needs for the for the country.
00:51:24.000And he'll choose the right governing partner.
00:51:26.000He'll choose the right person that can help him win an election.
00:51:29.000And then the thing that that We've been focused on, I've been focused on, I think every American should focus on, is getting President Trump elected.
00:51:40.000So, Burgum, again, is doing what it takes to become Donald Trump's vice president.
00:51:44.000He's basically just saying, I support the guy.
00:51:46.000This is the attraction of Doug Burgum to Donald Trump, is that Doug Burgum does not make any sort of headlines.
00:51:51.000Doug Burgum will presumably do some sort of debate with Kamala Harris if she's not the nominee.
00:51:57.000That vice presidential debate will solve very few questions for the Democrats.
00:52:02.000Burgum will acquit himself fine against Kamala Harris.
00:52:04.000Mike Pence acquitted himself fine against Kamala Harris.
00:52:07.000And he won't be a giant, huge distraction on the campaign trail.
00:52:11.000The same probably cannot be said for J.D.
00:52:13.000Vance, who's drawing all sorts of attention right now.
00:52:16.000We've had him on the show before, the author of Hillbilly Elegy, Senator from Ohio.
00:52:20.000He has moved in a significantly more economically populist direction, also in terms of foreign policy, over the course of the last four years.
00:52:27.000With that said, he's obviously a super smart guy, J.D.
00:52:59.000Let me, I have to ask you about Veep Steaks, of course.
00:53:02.000Have you gotten the call from Donald Trump?
00:53:03.000Has he asked you to be his running mate?
00:53:05.000I have not gotten the call, Kristen, and I'll certainly, you know, maybe not the first person that I'd let know if that happened, but we'll let the media know if I ever get that call.
00:53:14.000But most importantly, Kristen, we're just trying to work to elect Donald Trump.
00:53:17.000Whoever his vice president is, he's got a lot of good people he could choose from.
00:53:20.000It's the policies that worked and the leadership style that worked for the American people.
00:53:25.000I think we have to bring that back to the White House, and I'm fighting to try to do that.
00:53:31.000Vance, another one of the contenders, and then meanwhile you have Marco Rubio, who is making his own case.
00:53:35.000Now, the Rubio case is very good, right?
00:53:38.000He is not perceived as supremely controversial.
00:53:43.000Rubio is obviously a Latino person, which means presumably that Trump will try to use him as outreach to the Latino community.
00:53:50.000The big problem for Rubio is that Rubio is a resident of Florida, so he actually has to change his residence in order to become VP, because otherwise Donald Trump forfeits the state of Florida's votes.
00:53:58.000You're not allowed to have a president and a vice president together from the same state, or the votes in that state go away.
00:54:04.000So Rubio would have to change his residency presumably to someplace like Nevada.
00:54:26.000You're telling me right now... We didn't see under him what we're seeing now.
00:54:28.000You're telling me right now that a second Trump administration would not go after any Democrats, any of his political opponents, full stop.
00:54:38.000You have confidence that that wouldn't happen?
00:55:12.000The reason that France is melting down is because Emmanuel Macron, who is the leader of the so-called centrist party, decided that he was going to effectively throw this election to the far-left communists in France.
00:55:22.000The far-left communists in France are full-on apologists for terrorism.
00:55:52.000And his party just won the largest share of seats in the French National Assembly.
00:55:56.000According to the Wall Street Journal, a coalition of leftist parties won the most seats in France's parliamentary elections, a stunning come-from-behind victory fueled by a groundswell of opposition to Marine Le Pen's anti-immigrant forces.
00:56:06.000The New Popular Front, a coalition of parties that includes socialists, Greens, and far-left France Unbowed, So what actually happened here?
00:56:11.000So, there are two rounds of the election.
00:56:13.000The way that it works is there's a first round, and then the top two candidates in any particular district run against each other in the second round.
00:56:18.000The party of President Emmanuel Macron and its allies won 163 seats.
00:56:22.000La Penza National Rally and its allies scored 143 seats.
00:56:39.000Macron decided to side with the left instead of with the right.
00:56:42.000Instead of siding with National Rally, he went to his own party.
00:56:45.000He said in any election where we are currently coming in third, or second even, if we're coming in second, but we're gonna lose to Le Pen's party, we'll drop out and throw our support to the left-wing candidate.
00:56:58.000So we'd rather have Melanchon win the biggest share rather than letting National Rally win the biggest share or a majority in the French National Assembly.
00:57:04.000So he made the overt choice to side with actual communists rather than National Rally led by Marine Le Pen because she's anti-immigration.
00:57:12.000Despite the fact that National Rally actually happens to be a party that, for example, does not hate France as opposed to Melanchon's party which actually does hate France and is perfectly fine and actually quite good with open immigration particularly from radical Muslim countries.
00:57:26.000The actual French results are absolutely bizarre.
00:57:29.000If you look at the popular vote result in these elections, National Rally and its allies won 37.3% of all the votes.
00:57:36.000Macron and his allies won 22.3% of all the votes.
00:57:40.000New Popular Front, which is the far left, won 26.9% of all the votes.
00:57:45.000Which means that National Rally by far had the largest popular vote turnout.
00:57:59.000Again, this is Emmanuel Macron's fault.
00:58:02.000Emmanuel Macron decided that the right was so dangerous that they could only be stopped by the communists.
00:58:08.000And so he decided to throw his support in swing districts, effectively, to the communists, such that even though the party with the largest number of votes was National Rally, they ended up with the third largest number of seats in the National Assembly.
00:58:22.000Which is kind of reminiscent of what just happened in the UK, where the Conservatives won about 24% of the vote share, and Reform, which is Nigel Farage's party, also on the right, won 14%, so that's 38%.
00:58:33.000Labour only won 34%, but they ended up with 65% of all the seats in the Parliament.
00:58:38.000So again, the system is very weird in both France and the UK.
00:58:43.000In any case, Melenchon's big victory last night led to, wait for it, riots, of course.
00:58:49.000The French left, they were going to riot whether they won or they lost because this is what they do, because they hate the country and they actually wish to see it burn down.
00:59:24.000The crowd remained jubilant and continued to chant, young people screw the national front.
00:59:30.000Apparently some 30,000 riot police, including 5,000 in Paris, had to be deployed to ensure that the radical right and radical left do not take advantage of the situation.
00:59:36.000But not a lot of evidence that the radical right was out burning things down last night.
00:59:42.000There's a lot of unrest from the radical left because any excuse to burn things down, and they will do it now.
00:59:48.000Marine Le Pen and her party, she says we'll get them next time because we won the largest share of votes.
00:59:53.000The problem is, if the centrists side with the radical left, they've made a choice.
00:59:59.000They are fellow travelers with the communists.
01:00:01.000And the media, of course, focus all their ire on Marine Le Pen and the so-called radical right in France while ignoring the evils and hypocrisies of the radical left communist side in France.
01:00:11.000Here is Christiane Amanpour, who's legitimately the worst reporter in major news.
01:00:52.000I think this use of the term far-right carries a stigma and is very pejorative.
01:01:01.000She's right, of course, but Christiane Amanpour pretending that you're kidding me right is an actual journalistic question is an absurdity.
01:01:07.000So what exactly are the communists promising, the New Popular Front?
01:01:10.000They are promising to lower the retirement age to 60.
01:01:23.000The wealth tax in France was such a failure that France had to revise itself and then go back and redo it.
01:01:27.000Dole out more housing benefits and boost public sector wages, linking them to inflation.
01:01:32.000So to jack up the inflation in France, they're going to now link public sector wages with the inflation, so you have a wage price spiral in France.
01:01:38.000The measures would cost 100 billion euros in 2025.
01:02:08.000So now there's gonna have to be some weird coalition.
01:02:12.000Instead of bringing clarity, as the Wall Street Journal points out, Macron's maneuver has driven the country into political fog.
01:02:16.000Avoiding a hung parliament will be hard, and a lower house divided in three by large blocs with diametrically opposed agendas.
01:02:22.000Former President François Hollande, who is a disaster area, a socialist who was elected Sunday, told French TV he expected Macron to meet with the heads of the major political parties and try to find a path through territory he described as uncharted.
01:02:34.000Again, all of this was because Macron would not impose any restrictions in serious ways on immigration that led to the rise of the right-wing party in France.
01:02:43.000And just like in the UK, there was then a rebellion by the left that ended up siding with the centrists.
01:02:49.000The results for France and the UK are going to be absolutely disastrous, by the way.
01:02:54.000Following the success of the right-wing National Rally Party in Sunday's first round of France parliamentary election, The Grand Synagogue of Paris Chief Rabbi Moshe Sabag cast doubt on the future of Jews in France.
01:03:05.000He said, it's clear today there is no future for Jews in France.
01:03:31.000And now he says that because of the radical increase of radical leftism and radical Islam, that Jews should leave.
01:03:40.000So, again, that is a pretty grave warning.
01:03:44.000Meanwhile, in the UK, it turns out that elections have consequences as well.
01:03:50.000Pierre Starmer is the new Prime Minister of the UK with an overwhelming majority in the UK Parliament despite winning less of a combined vote than all of the votes on the right one, like 34% of the vote.
01:04:01.000And he ends up with an historic majority in Parliament as well as the Prime Ministership.
01:04:06.000Here he was receiving a call from Slow Joe Biden.
01:05:16.000He said, I've sat in the back of I don't know how many criminal courts and watched people process through the system on an escalator to go to prison.
01:05:22.000I've often reflected many of them could have been taken out of that system earlier if they'd had support.
01:05:25.000So they're going to go easy on crime in Britain.
01:05:27.000Also, they're killing the anti-immigration efforts of the Tories.
01:05:32.000One of those anti-immigration efforts was an effort to deport illegal immigrants from Rwanda.
01:05:36.000Keir Starmer said the Rwanda deportation policy is, quote, dead and buried.
01:05:40.000The prime minister said he was not prepared to continue with gimmicks, as he confirmed a multi-million pound plan to send some asylum seekers to Kigali is to be scrapped.
01:05:48.000So get ready for a vast wave of more immigration to the UK.
01:05:53.000Hope that the UK and France are ready for what's about to hit them, because if it's been bad for the past 20 years in terms of immigration, get ready for more.
01:06:00.000Michel Hollebecq looks like a prophet now, not like the radical right-winger the press painted him as when his books came out.
01:06:07.000So, this is what happens when countries decide that they are going to sell themselves down the river in pursuit of left-wing radicalism.
01:06:16.000Alrighty, guys, coming up, we will get to how the rest of the world is responding to Western weakness.
01:06:19.000Remember, tonight, the premiere of Scamala Kamala Harris unmasked.
01:06:24.000Everything you've needed to know about Kamala Harris, everything your family and friends need to know about Kamala Harris, who is very likely to be either the Democratic nominee or the president if Joe Biden wins.
