Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) is in a dead heat with CNN's Tim Walz in the race for the Democratic nomination. It's a close race that could go either way, and there's no question that it's going to be close. But what happens when she goes off script? What does she do with her teleprompter? Is she a robot or a human being? And what does it mean for her chances of winning the nomination? Is it possible for her to win the nomination in 2020? Or will she lose the election to Donald Trump in a landslide? And if she doesn't win it, what will the media do about it? What s going to happen with her next big interview with CNN on tonight's primetime CNN interview with anchor Jake Tapper? And is it possible that she'll be able to beat Trump in 2020 if she can just figure out how to get her message across to the American people in a way that s actually effective? or will she just keep saying the same old same old things that she says every time she's asked a question that s just not smart enough to be listened to? and just keep repeating the same thing over and over again and again? And what s the difference between her and her opponent, Donald Trump, is it really that bad? Or is it just not good enough, or is she just not that bad at anything at all ? or is it not good at anything at all? at least good enough at all of it at all, really good at what she somethings really? .

00:00:05.000The Dems switched out their candidate, and now the Republicans are running against a different candidate with whom they are locked in what seems to be a bit of a death battle.
00:00:14.000First, your reminder, we're bringing updates all the time.
00:00:17.000It's gonna be a big interview tonight between Kamala Harris and CNN.
00:00:20.000Also involving Tim Walz will be pre-taped, but I will be reacting immediately tonight upon the CNN interview.
00:00:27.000But in order to be notified about that sort of stuff, you have to get 35% off your new Daily Wire Plus membership with code FIGHT at dailywire.com slash subscribe.
00:00:35.000You'll get uncensored, unfiltered ad-free shows, real-time breaking news alerts, and more.
00:00:39.000Most importantly, you'll get the truth the legacy media are covering up every single day.
00:00:44.000So here is the current status of the race.
00:01:43.000He's going to be there so that she can pet him and feel good.
00:01:46.000And then if things start to get a little out of control, like, you know, she's asked a real question, Tim Walz can jump in and start gesticulating wildly with his hands and being a weirdo.
00:02:45.000She starts just mouthing platitudes, the most banal platitudes you could possibly imagine.
00:02:51.000And in the background, of course, you have that emotional support corgi, Tim Walls, the dumb sitcom dad, who is nodding along enthusiastically as though she is saying something of any sort of intelligence here.
00:03:02.000Here is Kamala Harris yesterday on the campaign trail.
00:03:44.000And this is what they're afraid of in this interview that's supposed to be broadcast tonight, obviously.
00:03:50.000Donald Trump's press secretary correctly pointed out that she has to have Tim Walz there for the interview because she is definitely afraid.
00:03:58.000And here's Carolyn Leavitt saying, she wants to be a powerful woman, but she needs to bring dad along.
00:04:23.000The difference is, usually the person who has been running for president has done a few interviews before being the nominee.
00:04:31.000Kamala Harris has done zero public interviews before being the nominee or after being the nominee, as it turns out.
00:04:39.000The reason that she's bringing along Tim Walz is to eat up the time.
00:04:43.000And because she's hoping that Dana Bash over at CNN will make the interview all about their relationship with one another and how they're really sympathetical, how they're gonna work together in the White House and avoid all issues.
00:04:53.000And if there is an issue, again, the corgi jumps up and starts humping Dana Bash's leg, presumably.
00:04:58.000That is how this interview, they hope, is going to work.
00:05:00.000Here's Carolyn Leavitt pointing this out.
00:05:03.000She's finally sitting down for an interview, but not by herself.
00:05:07.000She's sitting down with her running mate, Tim Walz, and I think it's quite sad that the woman trying to be the first female president of the United States needs her male running mate by her side in her first sit-down interview.
00:05:22.000It is sad, and it is pathetic, and it is a disgrace that she has yet to answer for any of her actual policy positions, which we'll get to in a minute.
00:05:30.000But she's running strong right now, and one of the reasons she's running strong is she is spending exorbitant amounts of cash right now.
00:05:37.000Well, folks, Kamala Harris is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to manipulate you on social media, and here's the thing.
00:05:42.000Social media is also spending hundreds of millions of dollars, like all the time, to manipulate you, and then they use your data to monetize all of that.
00:05:49.000The simple fact of the matter is that you need to deny the big tech companies your data.
00:05:53.000That's how they make money off of you.
00:05:54.000They take your data, they package it, they sell it to advertisers, and by the way, they usually have some sort of backdoor to the federal government.
00:06:12.000Think about how much of your life is on the internet.
00:06:13.000Sadly, every single site you visit, video you watch, message you send gets tracked and datamined.
00:06:18.000When you run ExpressVPN on your device, the software hides your IP address, which is the thing that Big Tech uses to personally identify you.
00:06:24.000So ExpressVPN makes your activity harder to trace and sell to advertisers.
00:06:27.000ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your internet data to keep you safe from hackers and eavesdroppers on your network.
00:06:32.000network. And ExpressVPN does all that without slowing your connection, which is why it's
00:06:36.000rated the number one VPN service by Mashable and TechRadar.
00:06:38.000What I like most about ExpressVPN, super easy to use. Download that app on your phone or
00:06:42.000computer, tap one button, you're now protected. Stop handing your personal data to the big
00:06:46.000tech monopoly that actually abuses you. Instead, protect yourself with ExpressVPN.
00:07:41.000That also has to do with the fact that the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, is definitely interested in a Kamala Harris-Tim Walz presidency.
00:08:49.000Fox News has some new polling out as well.
00:08:52.000And that polling shows Kamala Harris currently leading in Arizona by one, Georgia by two, Nevada by two, Trump is up only one in North Carolina.
00:09:03.000Okay, now, you could say that these are bad numbers for Trump, and they're not great numbers for Trump, for sure.
00:09:08.000However, again, Kamala Harris has not been asked a single question.
00:09:45.000The question is whether Dana Bash actually tries to do her job.
00:09:47.000And it's a bit of a rock and a hard place for Dana Bash if she does her job and asks hard questions and pushes a little bit on Kamala Harris.
00:09:54.000If Tim Walz jumps in and she says to Tim Walz, Governor, I'd love to hear your thoughts, but I'm really here to talk to the presidential candidate.
00:10:02.000You are the vice presidential candidate, and you have very little relevance when it comes to policy.
00:10:06.000We are told by your own campaign that the VP is not responsible for what the president does.
00:10:11.000So I want to hear from the candidate what she thinks.
00:10:14.000If she actually pushes Kamala Harris, she won't be able to go to any of the nice cocktail parties and people at CNN will be very angry at her and the Democratic Party will cut her off at the knees.
00:10:23.000If she does not push, she's not doing her basic job.
00:10:25.000So it'll be fascinating to see how she navigates that just on a sort of political level.
00:10:45.000You must never mention what her crap administration has done.
00:10:48.000You must never mention any of these things.
00:10:50.000And you must certainly never attempt to get to the underlying philosophy that motivates her politics.
00:10:55.000You must never, ever attempt to do that.
00:10:57.000Because if you dig a little bit, what you find is that the Democratic Party has gone so far to the left, so radically far to the left, that they are now indistinguishable from the Democratic Socialists of America.
00:11:10.000Look at the great intellectual luminaries of the Democratic Party.
00:11:13.000I'm not talking about the politicians.
00:11:14.000I'm talking about the thought leaders.
00:11:17.000Among those thought leaders is one, Nikole Hannah-Jones.
00:11:19.000Now, you may not have heard about Nikole Hannah-Jones recently because, after all, she hasn't done any actual work for the last five years.
00:11:25.000She wrote the absolutely fictitious 1619 Project back in 2020.
00:11:29.000She was given a Pulitzer for that fictitious project.
00:11:35.000The entire thing is rooted in the idea that every element of American life is built on the foundation of slavery and thus morally corrupt evil and must be wiped away.
00:11:48.000That is professional historians like John Wilentz and Gordon Wood have pointed out all of the flawed history in the 1619 Project, for example.
00:11:57.000But this supposed genius was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2017.
00:12:03.000She is the apotheosis of a democratic intellectual.
00:12:07.000Nicole Hannah-Jones, I'll give her points for clarity.
00:12:10.000I mean, it's stupid, but at least she's being clear.
00:12:12.000There's one other area of your life where you need things to be clear.

00:13:14.000Well, she did a speech at the Equity Summit, according to Kimberly Bryant, who is the founder of the Black Innovation Lab, and who is tweeting about the Equity Summit 2024.
00:13:26.000Here is what she said, quote, you know what COVID taught me?
00:13:40.000Now, if that sounds like communism to you, that's because it is communism.
00:13:44.000And you may recall that COVID actually ended up with 40-year highs in inflation, a massively spiraling debt problem, the complete shutdown of the American economy.
00:13:55.000You might remember that because you were there.
00:13:57.000But according to Nikole Hannah-Jones, that was amazing.
00:14:00.000That is what America ought to look like.
00:14:02.000It ought to look like the government paying you to stay home, shutting down your business, and then compensating you for shutting down your business, The government ought to provide everything for free, and it will have no impact.
00:15:21.000And she cried about it because she was like, I have been able to save $1,000 for the first time in my life only because all these people are dying out here.
00:15:31.000That's the first time America cared about me.
00:15:52.000And then they had to do some things that people could remain living and functional.
00:15:58.000Because they had literally taken away your livelihood, which is not the same thing as a high unemployment rate that results, for example, from high levels of high school dropout, or high levels of single motherhood, or high levels of dysfunction in the home, or in the community, or in the schools.
00:16:54.000When you blew money into the economy, modern monetary theory, that debt doesn't matter.
00:16:59.000That when you did this, you were actually creating a rising tide that was lifting all boats, but then it didn't work, and that was weird that it didn't work, and upsetting that it didn't work.
00:17:07.000The reality is, of course, it doesn't work.
00:17:39.000But for the Democrats, for the Democratic Party, for Kamala Harris, the basic idea is the government can magically make money happen and then just give it out.
00:18:22.000We are now spending, year on year, more money than any country in the history of the planet.
00:18:28.000Any country in the history of the planet and yet fewer Americans feel they can achieve all the things that the government has been promising them.
00:18:42.000That is a perversion of all the incentives that lead people to make the right decisions that allow them to build a home and a family and a retirement.
00:18:51.00089% of respondents to this poll Well, you know whose fault that might be.
00:18:54.000I mean, it might be the fault of the Biden-Harris administration, at least in large part.
00:18:56.000percent said home ownership is easy or somewhat easy to achieve.
00:19:00.000Well, you know whose fault that might be.
00:19:03.000I mean, it might be the fault of the Biden-Harris administration, at least in
00:19:07.000large part, because as it turns out, Harris and Biden have created the most
00:19:11.000unaffordable housing market in history, according to the latest data.
00:19:15.000Fox Business says home prices hit a new record in June amid an ongoing housing shortage, even as high mortgage rates continue to push affordability out of reach for millions of Americans.
00:19:24.000We now have effectively stagnation and stagflation.
00:20:06.000And then because nobody wants to sell their home to get into a higher mortgage, there's just no actual available market.
00:20:14.000So a lot of money floating around, which is pushing up the bidding prices on a shrinking market because nobody wants to get out of their current mortgage that is at 2.5% to get into a 7% mortgage.
00:20:26.000That is all the policies that are being driven by the Democrats.
00:20:30.000Why do Americans feel that the housing market is unaffordable?
00:20:34.000According to that same Wall Street Journal poll, financial security and a comfortable retirement were similarly labeled as essential or important by 96% and 95% of people, respectively, but rated as easy or somewhat easy to pull off by only 9% and 8%.
00:20:49.000We're not spending more money than we have ever spent on Social Security, ever.
00:20:53.000Again, in human history, why don't people feel their retirement is secure?
00:20:57.000Part of it is because Social Security is a defined benefits plan.
00:21:02.000It's not a defined contribution plan, it's a defined benefits plan.
00:21:05.000And because we didn't take that money and do what George W. Bush suggested back in 2005, which was take that money, put that money in, say, an index fund and leave it there.
00:21:15.000Imagine, by the way, how much money would be in the Social Security Index Fund if we actually had done what George W. Bush suggested back in 2005, when we were told by everyone that it was going to be the end of the world if we actually, quote-unquote, privatized Social Security.
00:21:30.000Okay, let me just remind you, the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2005, in January of 2005, I'm looking at the table right now, was 10,603.
00:21:40.000was 10,603. That was the DJIA, the Dow Jones Industrial, in January 2025 when George W.
00:21:48.000Bush was proposing that. And everyone went nuts.
00:21:50.000You're going to endanger social security.
00:21:52.000You're going to destroy social security.
00:21:53.000And Bush's only point was, it's a pyramid scheme.
00:21:57.000If we just take your money and we put it in an index fund and leave it there until you retire, it will be worth a lot more money.
00:22:03.000Well, as it turns out, again, 10,603 as of January 7th, 2005.

00:24:02.000Democrat policies fail, but Kamala Harris has not been forced to answer for any of them.
00:24:07.000In fact, she runs screaming from her own proposals.
00:24:10.000Here, for example, yesterday was Harris spokesman Michael Tyler, who's asked questions about her reversal on fracking.
00:24:16.000So back in 2019-2020, she said she wanted to ban fracking.
00:24:20.000One of the dumbest policy positions in American history, fracking has single-handedly revolutionized global energy markets.
00:24:28.000Brought an extraordinary amount of power back to America, particularly in foreign policy terms and also just in generalized economic terms.
00:24:35.000Democrats want to shut it down because they actually don't like American power.
00:24:38.000And also they have this peculiar notion that fracking is somehow significantly worse for the economy than what, importing oil from Saudi Arabia or something?
00:24:46.000In any case, Her prior position was banning fracking.
00:24:49.000Turns out that's kind of unpopular in states like Pennsylvania.
00:24:53.000Pennsylvania, of course, has Marcella Shale.
00:24:57.000So here is the Harris Walls spokesperson, Michael Tyler, running from questions about this.
00:25:03.000The vice president has changed her position on fracking in Pennsylvania.
00:25:07.000Do you know why she's changed her position?
00:25:10.000Listen, I mean, she's been very clear here.
00:25:12.000She's proud of the work that she's done as a part of this administration, making sure that American energy production is at an all-time high.
00:25:19.000We want to continue that progress into her first term in office here.
00:25:25.000And again, I think whether it's energy policy, economic policy writ large, that you have a fighter in Kamala Harris who is actually keeping the interests of the American people front and center.
00:25:39.000Okay, you may have noticed that that was not even remotely an answer to the question.
00:25:58.000It will not last for a year in terms of what Democrats are spending.
00:26:03.000If you actually want to radically revise American tax policy, such as to pay for all the programs that they are proposing, you have to increase the income tax to 60 to 70% for everyone, everyone, making more than about 30 grand.
00:26:50.000In principle, it applies to people who have over $100 million in net assets or something.
00:26:57.000Okay, but again, how you measure that is variable, because if I own stock in my own company, and it's a privately held company, how exactly do you value that?
00:27:18.000Under Kamala Harris' proposal, it's an analogy, the $750,000 upside would then be taxed at 25% that you would owe the government without having sold the house.
00:27:30.000That's what she's saying about stock in your company, for example.
00:27:41.000Here's CNBC's Joe Kernan laughing at the Kamala Harris spokesman, Bharat Rama, on the capital gains tax proposal.
00:27:48.000And all the revenue that comes in from these unrealized gains taxes and the other taxes in the Harris plan are going to go to creating what she calls more opportunity.
00:27:57.000It's to make sure that every newborn born in this country gets $6,000.
00:27:59.000But it's not a used tax for the people who are actually using the services.
00:28:02.000Well, look, you're arguing that this is some sort of foreign concept that's completely unknown.
00:28:25.000Kamala Harris' capital gains tax proposal here is absolutely foolish.
00:28:29.000It would undermine the health of the American economy, obviously, but it's tough to prioritize your own health, especially if you're not sure where to start.
00:28:35.000That's why I'm excited to introduce Lumen.
00:28:37.000Lumen is the world's first handheld metabolic coach.
00:28:39.000It's a device that measures your metabolism through your breath.
00:28:41.000All you have to do is you breathe into your Lumen first thing in the morning and you now know what's going on with your metabolism.
00:28:46.000Which means you know whether you're burning mostly fats or carbs.
00:28:48.000Forget those one-size-fits-all diet fads.
00:28:50.000What sets Lumen apart is its ability to understand you on a personal level.
00:28:54.000With the crazy news cycle, all the travel I've been doing recently, and all the travel I'm about to do, Lumen is an absolute lifesaver.
00:28:59.000It takes my unique metabolic data, it crafts a personalized nutrition plan for every day tailored to my body's needs and goals.
00:29:05.000With Lumen, you're not just getting a device, you're getting a health companion.
00:29:08.000Breathe into it before and after a workout or a meal and gain real-time insight into your body's metabolic response.
00:29:12.000Lumen will provide you with actionable tips to help you stay on top of your health.
00:29:16.000If you wanna take the next step in improving your health, go to lumen.me slash Shapiro,
00:29:35.000If Democrats actually gained control of the Supreme Court, they would ram this through.
00:29:39.000They would pretend that it is a tax on income, even though the income has not been realized.
00:29:43.000By the way, there are all sorts of practical problems with it, obviously.
00:29:46.000Cato Institute's tax policy director said, quote, one of the practical challenges is appropriately accounting for losses when the value of an asset declines.
00:29:54.000So what exactly happens if I own my company, and today it's worth a billion dollars, but then we make a bunch of mistakes, and now my stock is worth $500 million?
00:30:01.000Do I get a rebate from the government?
00:30:04.000So in 2022, when Elon Musk's net worth declined by $182 billion, the government would have owed him a $45 billion check.
00:30:11.000All of it's unworkable and stupid, but again, it's not about that.
00:30:19.000Because again, Democrats don't actually believe that you have to pay your debts.
00:30:22.000They believe in modern monetary theory.
00:30:23.000They believe that you can just blow out the spending.
00:30:25.000You can do the Nikole Hannah-Jones thing of magically creating six trillion dollars and just helicoptering it around with no impact on pricing, with no impact on supply and demand.
00:30:36.000It's really impressive how stupid these policies are, which is why Kamala Harris requires her corgi there to help her through her explanation of these policies.
00:30:45.000They also require the help, again, of the tail end of that Democrat media human centipede.
00:30:50.000So Kamala Harris is proposing $5 trillion in tax increases.
00:30:57.000Including a 28% federal corporate tax rate and a 44.6% top capital gains and dividend tax rate, which would give America the highest total tax rate on corporate income in the developed world.
00:31:25.000So, for example, Axios has a piece today titled, Trump Plans Would Add $5.8 Trillion to National Debt.
00:31:31.000Now you're thinking to yourself, wait a second, Trump is not really proposing expanding spending in the same way that Kamala Harris is proposing expanding spending.
00:31:40.000For example, yeah, he wants to spend a lot of money, but she's going to spend more money.
00:31:43.000So how is it possible that he's going to raise the national debt more?
00:31:47.000The way they get to this number, the way that they get to this number is by suggesting that it is a government expenditure when you're allowed to keep your own money.
00:31:54.000That is the cheap trick that is played here.
00:31:56.000So, if I earn $100, and right now, $35 of those dollars immediately go to the federal government, and Donald Trump comes in, and he says, I'm lowering your tax rate.
00:32:05.000Now you're paying $30 to the federal government.
00:32:08.000These morons treat that as though Donald Trump has increased the national debt by $5.
00:32:12.000First of all, that assumes non-dynamic scoring in the economy.
00:32:18.000A dynamic scoring means that with the extra $5 I invested, my $100 becomes $110 because I'm a good investor.
00:32:25.000And then, that 30% tax rate actually encompasses more money, for example.
00:33:39.000And according to Democrats, by the way, that's totally fine.
00:33:41.000Here, for example, is Democratic Savannah G.A.
00:33:44.000Mayer, is Georgia Mayor, Van Johnson, asked about her flip-flops and he's like, listen, flip-flopping is part of the natural course of life.
00:34:37.000By the way, half the policies Democrats are proposing aren't even constitutional.
00:34:41.000Yesterday, the Supreme Court blocked Joe Biden's new student loan repayment plan.
00:34:45.000So every two minutes, he brings out a new plan to end around the Supreme Court saying you're not allowed to simply hand people money to get rid of their student loans.
00:34:53.000And he comes up with a new plan and the Supreme Court's like, nope!
00:34:55.000And he tries it again, they're like, nope!
00:34:57.000No, really, just genius-level stuff happening with this administration.
00:35:00.000Don't worry, Kamala Harris is responsible for none of it.
00:35:03.000In just one second, we'll get to the big democratic media lie of the day, and that is that Donald Trump did something very, very evil and terrible by going and visiting Arlington National Cemetery in order to pay homage to 13 Americans who were murdered by the Taliban and their friends for a very limited time.

00:35:29.000You simply cannot afford to be without that information, which is why we need your help.
00:35:34.000Every single day of The Daily Wire, we are fighting the left and building the future.
00:35:37.000We've taken on some massive battles, like that time that we stopped the Biden administration's COVID vaccine mandate by suing them, or that time that we destroyed GARM, the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, which was essentially a censorship regime.
00:35:49.000I went to Congress and testified and A few days later, they were done.
00:35:52.000Now we're shaking up Hollywood with our first nationwide theatrical release, Am I Racist?
00:35:56.000Matt Walsh's DEI-busting comedy that's hitting theaters September 13th.
00:35:59.000I should add, theaters are selling out across the country.
00:36:17.000Meanwhile, Democrats are trying to come up with some angle on why Donald Trump is very bad and very mean.
00:36:22.000So Donald Trump did something deeply damaging to the Harris Walls campaign the other day.
00:36:27.000He pointed out that Kamala Harris was the last person in the room in the horrifying decision-making on Afghanistan and that her decision-making got 13 Americans murdered at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan.
00:36:39.000He went to Arlington National Cemetery.
00:36:41.000When he went to Arlington National Cemetery, he did so not only with the go-ahead, but with the desire of Gold Star families.
00:36:51.000So, he showed up, he placed a wreath, the Gold Star families wanted him to do so, and there were pictures that were taken and then put out.
00:36:59.000This apparently is some sort of deep and abiding scandal.
00:37:02.000We are now being told by the media, it is absolutely inappropriate for the former president of the United States to visit Arlington National Cemetery to pay homage to fallen American soldiers, if there are cameras there.
00:37:14.000Now again, throughout my political life, presidents have done this sort of thing.
00:37:20.000Barack Obama used to go and meet the caskets coming off planes to demonstrate how much he cared about the families.
00:37:26.000Joe Biden has gone to multiple cemeteries while President of the United States, and he has done so with political purposes in mind.
00:37:33.000And most recently, he did that, as you'll recall, when he actually visited the Ayn Marn American Cemetery in June and insulted Donald Trump in the process.
00:37:44.000But apparently it's really bad when Donald Trump does that with the explicit permission of the Gold Star families involved.
00:37:59.000We are told, by the way, again, Gold Star families have vented their frustrations.
00:38:03.000There has yet to be any accountability, any accountability on this.
00:38:07.000During a press call hosted by the Trump campaign and the RNC, Cheryl Jules, aunt of Marine Corps Sergeant Nicole Gee, said history will repeat itself if the government cannot admit its failures.
00:38:16.000She said there's never even been condolences.
00:38:19.000They want to pretend it didn't happen.
00:38:21.000They want to take credit for ending the war, but don't want to take responsibility for how it went down.
00:38:26.000Mark Schmitz, father of Marine Corps Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, emphasized one of the main goals is ensuring this never happens again.
00:38:33.000He said, we have to make sure that any Gold Star family is not left for three years just waiting for their child's name to be read by the leader of the country.
00:38:40.000So the big scandal here, of course, is that 13 American soldiers died in the worst foreign policy blunder of my lifetime, in which people are falling off wheel wells and American soldiers were getting blown up.
00:38:50.000An entire country that we spent 20 years investing in was handed over to the worst people on earth, along with hundreds of millions of dollars of American weaponry and machinery.
00:39:00.000And then none of the names of the dead are read by the administration.
00:39:03.000None of the families are reached out to by the administration.
00:39:06.000But the real problem is that Donald Trump paid attention to them and photos were taken.
00:40:42.000And so we have Maggie Haberman who puts out a piece all about the images at the grave and how it dismays the family of a Green Beret buried at Arlington.
00:40:53.000Okay, well, I noticed that a bunch of the other families are not dismayed.
00:40:56.000Quote, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to President Donald Trump
00:40:59.000for his presence at the recent Section 60 gathering, honoring our children and their
00:41:03.000fallen brothers and sisters. On the three-year anniversary of the Abigail bombing, the president
00:41:07.000and his team conducted themselves with nothing but the utmost respect and dignity for all of
00:41:11.000our service members, including our beloved children. The statement was made on behalf of
00:41:59.000Vance was pretty fired up about this yesterday.
00:42:00.000Here he was pointing out that these 13 brave Americans are dead because of Kamala Harris.
00:42:06.000Three years ago, 13 brave, innocent Americans died, and they died because Kamala Harris refused to do her job, and there hasn't been a single investigation or a single firing.
00:42:18.000We're going to talk about a story out of those 13 brave, innocent Americans who lost their lives.
00:42:23.000It's that Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won't even do an investigation into what happened, and she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up.
00:43:06.000It's unhinged to say that if she ignores the dead American soldiers that her administration created, that somehow saying go to hell is like, that's the, oh wow, it's just terrible.
00:43:16.000How, by the way, the, The Biden-Harris administration has treated dead American soldiers with nothing but contempt.
00:43:54.000All of this plays into the re-launch of the Trump campaign.
00:43:58.000Kimberly Strassel has an entire piece on this.
00:44:01.000She says the month-long media eclipse of Donald Trump was unprecedented, and he didn't like it.
00:44:04.000Whether due to Trump's confusion over Kamala Harris' sudden popularity, or to a deliberate strategy to wait out her headline cycles, the Republican nominee appears newly focused on shoring up electoral terrain.
00:44:16.000The campaign still sees the value of the rallies, but knows they can't be Trump's sole event forum on this homestretch, so he's reducing some of the rallies.
00:45:23.000And the stakes for Donald Trump on a personal level are pretty high, by the way.
00:45:26.000He still has a bunch of legal trials that are in the offing.
00:45:30.000If he loses the election, the likelihood that Donald Trump actually serves time in prison, pretty high, because the legal mechanisms have been Weaponized against him.
00:45:39.000Here's CNN's Eli Honig pointing this out.
00:45:42.000What happens if he loses to these cases?
00:45:45.000It's such a good reminder of the stakes for Donald Trump, the individual.
00:45:48.000Because if he wins, he's president, and these cases all go away or get put on indefinite long-term hold.
00:45:54.000But if he loses, he's going to have to contend with all four of these cases.
00:45:58.000If Donald Trump loses, he's facing serious trials, and he'll have a lot of time on his hands if he's not president.
00:46:04.000Yeah, if he loses, I think it's very likely he's going to have two federal trials, late 2025, early 2026.
00:46:11.000Again, the stakes are really high because the Democrats have weaponized everything.
00:46:36.000We need products made for real men by real men.
00:46:39.000And this is where Responsible Man comes in.

00:47:35.000Meanwhile, it's not just that there's a lot at stake at the presidential level, there's a lot at stake with regard to the Congress.
00:47:41.000If, God forbid, the Democrats were to achieve a triumvirate, it would fundamentally shift the way government is done in this country.
00:47:47.000Democrats would immediately kill the filibuster in the Senate.
00:47:50.000They would immediately ram through a bunch of voting laws that make it much easier to perform voter fraud and ballot harvesting across the country.
00:47:57.000They would immediately try to stack the Supreme Court.
00:47:59.000They would immediately add two new states in Washington, D.C.
00:48:02.000and Puerto Rico, hoping that that would be four Democratic senators to permanently stack the Senate of the United States in their own favor.
00:49:12.000Donald Trump is likely going to win Arizona, and Carrie Lake is likely going to underrun him by something like 10 points.
00:49:19.000Turns out, when people lose an election, probably renominating them for the same position, it's a risky move at best, particularly if you're not Donald Trump.
00:51:26.000And a lot of those down-ballot races are happening in states that are not competitive, like California or New York.
00:51:32.000So if you are a conservative or an independent, and you don't wish to see Democrats completely rewrite the bargain of the country, if you're living in a purple district in California or New York, you matter an awful, awful lot.
