Kamala Harris has not done a single sit-down interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee 38 days ago. Her campaign is now scrambling to figure out who she will sit down with, and why it s so important that she does so. Also, a new poll shows that 90% of Americans think that it s important that presidential candidates answer questions, but not Kamala Harris. Is she hiding something from the American people? Or is she trying to get them to vote for her in the primary? And why should they even be voting for her if she hasn t even been on stage for a single interview since she became the nominee? And what s the point of that if she s not answering a single question about her campaign, other than to say, "I'm running for president" or "I don t know" and then just walks off the stage without ever answering a question about it? And why is that even a thing? And what does that have to do with Joe Biden? Well folks, it s time for us to update our calendar, because it has now been 38 days since she has even ONE interview. And it s not even close to the end of the month, and she s still not even a clue who she s going to sit down and answer a single thing about what she s actually running for President?

00:01:19.000Make it so that she never has to answer a question about the horrible performance of her own administration where she is the vice president.
00:01:26.000The insane gaslighting attempt to teach Americans that Kamala Harris is both the most important vice president who has ever lived and also completely irrelevant with no connection to any piece of Joe Biden's policy is totally crazy making.
00:01:40.000The reality is that something like 90% of Americans, according to a brand new poll from National Line Insights, think that it's important that presidential candidates answer questions, but not apparently Kamala Harris.
00:01:50.000Her entire team is freaking out about the possibility of her actually having to do an interview.
00:01:56.000According to Politico, nearly three weeks ago on an airport tarmac in Detroit, VP Harris was asked about plans for a sit-down interview.
00:02:40.000It's insipid that you should be voting for the President of the United States without her having done a single sit-down interview or answered a single adversarial question.
00:03:05.000Anyway, a lot of consternation inside the Harris campaign about who she should sit with because they're very much afraid that she is going to crap the bed because she has in literally every interview she has ever done.
00:03:15.000Every sit-down interview she has ever done involves somebody asking her a tough question, her not knowing the answer, and then her just going into her word salad mode where she starts babbling nonsensically or laughing awkwardly and they're very afraid of this.
00:03:29.000Right now, they've got her gussied up and glossed up All you see of Kamala Harris is upshots backlit with the glowing music in the background, with the rising James Horner score.
00:04:17.000Another source with knowledge said Stephanie Cutter, senior advisor for message and strategy, will have an outsized role as well.
00:04:22.000Campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon and senior advisor David Pruf represent another camp.
00:04:26.000And then there's Maya Harris and Tony West, Harris' sister and brother-in-law, who will also weigh in with their own views.
00:04:32.000Then the big question is, what is the goal?
00:04:34.000So, the main narrative in the political press is that Harris needs to do a lengthy, serious interview with a brand-name news anchor who will push her on the issues.
00:05:02.000Some Harris aides came away unhappy with the experience.
00:05:04.000Yeah, that's because she's crappy at this.
00:05:06.000The constant story with Kamala Harris is that when put in positions to succeed, she fails.
00:05:11.000And then she gets mad at everyone around her and angry at the world for having failed her.
00:05:16.000Former Harris comms advisor Ashley Etienne told Playbook she thought Harris should have three goals for the interview.
00:05:21.000The first goal would be to peel back some layers on the vice president and show some new dimensions to her.
00:05:25.000That's like, show the happy face, talk about her personal life, talk about how she's mama-la and how she likes to cook and makes brisket for Passover and all this kind of crap.
00:05:57.000Which I believe is illegal, since you're not allowed to show actual pornography on network television even now.
00:06:01.000The FCC bans reporters from performing actual sexual acts on the candidates.
00:06:05.000So I don't think that Gayle King will do it, because it'll probably be illegal.
00:06:08.000They're talking about maybe ABC's David Muir, who has the highest ratings, but he's co-moderating that September 10th debate, so that takes him off the board.

00:08:22.000During the first debate, he actually said no American soldiers had died on his watch, which of course is untrue.
00:08:27.00013 American soldiers had been murdered at Abbey Gate by ISIS-K, which was in fact an outgrowth of the Taliban working in coordination with the Taliban because of the disastrous Afghanistan pullout, the single worst foreign policy move In the modern history of America, the Afghanistan pullout was a disaster, full scale, full stop.
00:08:50.000It was humiliating for the United States.
00:08:51.000We left hundreds of millions of dollars worth of military equipment in the hands of the Taliban.
00:08:56.000We left tens of thousands of people who had worked with us to the tender mercies of the Taliban.
00:09:01.000There are people falling off wheel wells of passenger airliners, as you will recall.
00:09:06.000You'll recall the suicide bombing that killed nearly 200 people, including those 13 American soldiers.
00:09:10.000Right now, women have been stuffed back into the burqas, like the full-scale burqas.
00:09:14.000They're not allowed to show their eyes now on the streets.
00:09:17.000So well done to the Biden administration.
00:09:20.000And remember that Joe Biden lied every single step of the way.
00:09:25.000Every single step of the way, Joe Biden lied.
00:09:26.000He suggested that an American pullout from Afghanistan would not result in the collapse of the Afghanistan government, which, of course, is not true.
00:09:32.000And then he suggested it would be an orderly withdrawal.
00:11:04.000And again, you can call this politics, you can call it whatever you want, it also happens to be a reality that those 13 dead service people are on the Biden administration, they are on Kamala Harris.
00:11:13.000This did not happen on Donald Trump's watch.
00:11:16.000As Donald Trump pointed out, Kamala Harris was involved.
00:11:18.000Trying to pretend that Kamala Harris was not involved in the administration that she is co-named on, it's the Biden-Harris administration, is a lie.
00:11:25.000Here was Donald Trump pointing that out yesterday.
00:11:28.000Kamala bragged that she was the last person in the room.
00:13:11.000It contains essential, life-saving medications that are often in short supply, like amoxicillin, Z-Pak, ivermectin, and more.
00:13:16.000It's like having an urgent care available in your home.

00:13:53.000It's great, my wife, the doctor, she is super grateful that we have one of these kits
00:14:18.000But the president himself, if you make an incorrect statement, and you keep making that incorrect statement, is he compelled himself, wherever he is, vacationing or not, to say, I was wrong to miss this obvious point about no soldiers dying under my watch.
00:14:37.000The president was making a larger point about ending our longest war.
00:14:40.000Yeah, but they're a large point, right?
00:14:44.000He also, of course, he also recognizes, Neil, that nothing he can say, particularly on a day like today, when we should be remembering the 13 who were killed at Abbey Gate, nothing he can say is going to assuage their grief, their sorrow.
00:14:58.000Nothing he's going to be able to say or do is going to make them feel better about losing their loved ones.
00:15:04.000except be the best commander-in-chief that he can be, which is, of course, what he has been trying to do
00:15:20.000But this is what Democrats are forced to do when actually forced to defend their policy, which is, of course, why Kamala Harris does not want to be in public defending her actual policy.
00:15:27.000Here yesterday, it was Democratic Representative Jake Auchincloss from Massachusetts saying that the real important thing is that Biden had the courage to pull out.
00:15:34.000Doesn't matter how many American troops died in the process.
00:15:37.000It was also the right decision to make to leave Afghanistan.
00:15:40.000Joe Biden had the moral courage to make a decision that previous presidents had refused to make because of sunk cost bias and groupthink.
00:16:54.000Okay, again, that's a very effective ad because it shows what her position has been in favor of all the things she now says are bad.
00:17:02.000And that's true for pretty much all of her policies.
00:17:05.000When she was asked about inflation, she famously suggested that there needed to be some form of price controls, that price gouging was the real problem.
00:17:12.000But the problem is everybody knows that's idiotic, including Democrats.
00:17:15.000Here, for example, is former Obama economic advisor, Jason Furman, saying price gouging?
00:19:11.000Because when you have footage of her saying, I'm for Medicaid for All,
00:19:14.000and then footage of her saying, I'm now against it, that's bad for her campaign.
00:19:17.000So instead, what they've been doing is simply allowing her aides to go out
00:19:21.000and reverse her on every one of these positions.
00:19:23.000She herself has not reversed a single one of these positions.
00:19:25.000Not on fracking, not on Medicare for All, not on the border wall.
00:19:28.000So they just keep sending aides out to do the dirty work so that the media, again the tail end of that human centipede, so the media will ingest that and then crap out the story that she's actually reversed her positions.
00:19:45.000Everything is designed for media consumption and for your consumption via the media that's making the sausage in the back room.
00:19:53.000In her speech to the DNC last week, Harris said she would sign the recent bipartisan border security bill.
00:19:58.000But, of course, that bill includes border wall funding.
00:20:02.000Now, Harris's campaign is suggesting that that's really, really important, the border wall funding.
00:20:09.000Again, the embrace of the border bill is a new one.
00:20:14.000Harris' campaign is portraying her as a hardline immigration restrictionist in ads.
00:20:20.000As Axios points out, like the wall itself, Harris's changes on border policy reflect how Trump has shifted the political debate on immigration during the past decade.
00:20:26.000Now the reality is, it's not Trump that shifted the political debate on immigration.
00:20:30.000He was reflecting a strongly felt sentiment among Americans that dates all the way back to the mid-2000s.
00:20:35.000I'm old enough to remember when the Bush administration proposed immigration reform in 2006, and it was Republicans who shut it down.
00:20:44.000What actually changed is that the Biden administration blew open the borders so horribly by letting in 10 million illegal immigrants that even Kamala Harris is now forced to separate off from those positions, but she is not forced, apparently, to answer any questions about it.
00:21:00.000Well, folks, Kamala, she's never forced to answer any questions, but there are great questions in life.
00:21:05.000One place you can go to get answers, Grand Canyon University, Private Christian University in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.
00:21:10.000GCU believes we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:21:15.000GCU believes in equal opportunity and that the American dream starts with a purpose.
00:21:19.000GCU equips you to serve others in ways that promote human flourishing and create a ripple effect of transformation for generations to come.
00:21:25.000By honoring your career calling, you impact your family, your friends, and your community.

00:21:38.000With over 330 academic programs as of December 2023, GCU meets you where you are and provides a path to help you fulfill your dreams.
00:21:53.000Democrats for their part continue to try to claim that Kamala Harris should not have to answer any of those questions at all.
00:21:59.000So, for example, yesterday, Representative Debbie Dingell of Michigan, she said, you know, you guys are exaggerating the idea of an interview.
00:22:08.000You don't really need to interview her.
00:22:10.000Do we really need to know what she thinks or do we just need vibes?
00:22:14.000How important do you think it is for actual voters in your state, for example, to hear her answer tough questions from journalists about key policy issues?
00:22:24.000Well, I think sometimes you all over exaggerate what the importance of it.
00:22:28.000She knows what she's going to have to do.
00:22:30.000She's going to have to spell out her vision and talk about policies more.
00:23:02.000The whole goal of her campaign is to flip all of these positions and never explain it.
00:23:06.000Because if she flips them, she gets all of the moderates to vote for her, and if she never explains it, all the left-wingers think she's winking at them.
00:23:16.000According to the Dispatch, Sheldon Whitehouse, who is a Senator from Rhode Island, and Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, appeared on a panel at the DNC.
00:23:27.000According to Whitehouse, Senate Democrats would be virtually certain to pass a Supreme Court reform bill by a simple majority, blowing up the filibuster if they capture the White House, Senate, and House.
00:24:46.000If she never has her feet held to the fire, the American people are being deserved.
00:24:50.000Not just by her, by the media that's supposed to be bringing them some semblance of the truth, as opposed to just being the press office for the Democratic Party.
00:24:57.000Well, meanwhile, the Democrats are trying to back out of the debate with Donald Trump on September 10th.
00:25:02.000They are deeply afraid that Donald Trump is going to ask a hard question of Kamala Harris, or that one of the debate moderators will, and that she will be caught wrong-footed.
00:25:11.000President Trump is pushing forward with the debates.
00:25:14.000President Trump points out the reason she's not doing press conferences is because she is a dummy.
00:26:50.000So the new trick Democrats are trying to play is that they're trying to get out of the debate while blaming Trump for it.
00:26:54.000Well, the media are magically pretending that Kamala Harris is great at her job, but I'll tell you who actually is quite great at their job, the IRS.
00:27:03.000If you're still struggling with back taxes or unfiled returns, handling it alone, that can be a huge mistake and cost you thousands of dollars.

00:28:10.000So, Brian Harris, who is the unbelievably dishonest spokesperson for the campaign, he came forward and he suggested that they needed to change the rules of the debate, September 10th.
00:28:21.000So the rules had already been set with Biden.
00:28:22.000The rules were, the microphones are muted.
00:28:45.000So everything they demanded, he agreed.
00:28:46.000Then, they demanded to change the rules.
00:28:48.000After he tried to change the rules and they said no, that was him trying to run away, then they tried to change the rules, and then when he bucks, they say that he's trying to get out of the debate.
00:28:57.000It's the most transparent, stupid crap I've ever seen.
00:29:55.000If Trump accepts the mics being on, I promise you within 24 hours there will be new conditions because this is what Harris's campaign is trying to do.
00:30:01.000They don't want her doing interviews and they don't want her doing a debate.
00:30:04.000They believe that if she shuts the hell up, she's going to be president.
00:30:29.000The single-handed arrogance of the Democratic Party trying to dictate terms of debate because they believe that they are winning, because they are afraid to put her in front of Trump for debate, and they should be.
00:30:39.000Because what the polling shows right now is that this thing is really, really close.
00:30:42.000The polling data right now is a little bit all over the place.
00:30:46.000Right now you have polls from, for example, Echelon Insights that show Trump up actually by one, 49-48, so basically a dead heat, despite the DNC, despite the weeks of glowing media coverage around this sheer nothing of a candidate.
00:30:59.000Then you have the Morning Consult poll that shows Harris up four.
00:31:02.000The bottom line is that this is a very close race by pretty much every available metric, particularly in the swing states.
00:31:07.000And so they are hoping to get out of the debate somehow, some way.
00:31:11.000But here they are trying to claim that now the debate is settled, the mics will be on, whereas before the debate was settled, the mics will be off.
00:31:17.000I mean, remember, the mics being off was a Joe Biden demand originally.
00:31:31.000That is absolutely our preference in this campaign to have live microphones so that the American people can see both candidates for who they are and hear everything that comes out of their mouths.
00:31:42.000Again, I think that the idea here from the Democrats that if he accepts the open mic, the whole idea here, we know what this is.
00:31:52.000The reason they want an open mic is because the first time Donald Trump says something in the middle of one of her answers, she wants to do the I'm speaking.
00:33:47.000The top Kamala surrogates are out there.
00:33:50.000Every so often, they admit the thing, and it's really ugly.
00:33:53.000So, for example, there was top Kamala surrogate yesterday, Kelly Robinson, talking about the Bill of Rights.
00:34:00.000This was last week at the Democratic National Convention talking about the Bill of Rights.
00:34:10.000This is a surrogate for Kamala's campaign.
00:34:12.000What do they think of the Bill of Rights?
00:34:13.000Why don't we let Kelly Robinson explain?
00:34:17.000We can't just worry about protecting democracy in this moment.
00:34:19.000We've got to reimagine it with people that look and love like us at the center.
00:34:24.000And I think for us right now, it's about reimagining freedom and this American story in a way that is more revolutionary than what our founders actually put down on that little piece of paper, but instead is the type of democracy that is by and for all of the people of this country.
00:34:42.000The Constitution would be that little piece of paper.
00:34:44.000Now, I've had personal experiences with this.
00:34:47.000Go view my interview with Piers Morgan circa 2013, in which I was informing him about the Second Amendment, and he suggested that this little book, which was the Constitution, should be treated as irrelevant.
00:34:57.000This is a frequent talking point on behalf of people of the radical left on any issue.
00:35:01.000Piers is not radical left, but on that issue, he's to the left.
00:35:04.000Here, you have people who are to the radical left on social policy, and they believe that their priorities are to override the Constitution.
00:35:11.000They do, in fact, believe that they ought to be the kings.
00:35:15.000Without a Bill of Rights, without protections against the government, without any sort of restrictions on the power of the government and what it can do, what you end up with is tyranny.
00:35:22.000This is why I am personally very much afraid of a Kamala Harris administration.
00:35:26.000It's why I've been afraid of a Biden administration.
00:35:28.000The willingness to completely overrun all restrictions on government on behalf of whatever the king thinks is good is a very bad thing.
00:35:38.000By the way, I should mention right here that if you want to know about the actual traditional prescription for how politics was supposed to work in the West, you have to look all the way back to the Bible.
00:35:46.000I just did a series with Jordan Peterson, at least one episode of the series, a couple episodes actually, called Foundations of the West.
00:35:51.000Jordan and I went to Jerusalem and we were talking about the biblical prescription that suggests that the king In the Bible, the king has to carry around his own copy of the Torah, his own copy of the Bible, because it's supposed to remind him that there are actual checks and balances on his power, that the king is not above the law.
00:36:09.000Here's a little bit of what Jordan and I talked about.
00:36:12.000Here you start to see the beginnings of the idea of a constitutional monarchy.
00:36:15.000So there are even hints of this in Deuteronomy.
00:36:17.000One of the laws in Deuteronomy is that the king is supposed to carry around his own Sefer Torah.
00:36:25.000So Judaism is very clear about that, and so is Christianity, and henceforth the idea of limitations on absolute government are part and parcel of the whole system.
00:36:33.000One of the things that, to me, lends historical credence to those sorts of stories is that it doesn't exactly show David in a positive light.
00:36:42.000That's definitely one of the things in favor of biblical narrative, is that when you show all the warts, it suggests that you're not propagandizing.
00:37:19.000You can see, if you can actually watch the footage, which is why you should subscribe, you can see that we are walking through the ruins of the Palace of King David, which actually is available at the City of David in Jerusalem.
00:39:30.000On the other side of the aisle, Donald Trump is beginning to regain some momentum.
00:39:34.000Not only has he found his footing in attacking Kamala Harris for her lack of positions and her flip-flops on positions, obviously he gained the endorsement of RFK Jr.
00:40:22.000If you love our country as I do, if you cherish peace and freedom as we do, I invite you to join me in doing all that we can to save our country and elect President Donald J. Trump and send him back to the White House to do the tough work of saving our country and serving the people.
00:40:47.000Now again, the entrenched obstacles that are going to be faced by President Trump are insane.
00:40:51.000Jack Smith is now attempting to revive the classified documents case against President Trump.
00:40:57.000It was thrown out, as you'll recall, by a federal judge in Florida, suggesting that, effectively speaking, under the way that the filing had been done, it was illegal to go after Trump on that basis.
00:41:12.000She said that she was not persuaded by decisions spanning back to Watergate era upholding the legality of the appointment of outside prosecutors in general and therefore Smith's appointment as a special prosecutor to go after Trump was illegal.
00:41:24.000He's urging the Atlanta-based 11th U.S.
00:41:26.000Circuit Court of Appeals to reinstate the 40-count indictment against the former president.
00:41:30.000That is likely to carry out again beyond the election, so it's probably not going to affect the election, the classified documents case at this point.
00:41:37.000What will indeed affect the election is the sentencing of President Trump in the absurd and ridiculous
00:41:42.000New York case, the supposed hush money payment case, which again, hush money actually isn't a crime.
00:41:49.000So no crime was really even alleged at that trial.
00:41:52.000It was a made up phony crime that has never been attempted in the state of New York.
00:42:16.000So Mark Zuckerberg has written a letter to Jim Jordan of the Judiciary Committee.
00:42:22.000Of course, I know Representative Jordan very well.
00:42:24.000We just testified in front of his committee.
00:42:26.000And here is what Mark Zuckerberg is now claiming about 2020.
00:42:29.000Remember, the Supreme Court said Facebook, they could establish no evidence that Facebook was pressured by the federal government to do things.
00:42:45.000We're about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way.
00:42:48.000As part of this, we regularly hear from governments around the world and others with various concerns around public discourse and public safety.
00:42:54.000In 2021, senior officials from the Biden administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire.
00:43:03.000and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree.
00:43:05.000Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions,
00:43:09.000including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure.
00:43:13.000I believe the government pressure was wrong. I regret we were not more outspoken about it.
00:43:17.000I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information,
00:43:21.000we wouldn't make today. Like I said to our teams at the time, I feel strongly we should
00:43:25.000not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any administration in either direction.
00:43:29.000In a separate situation, the FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead-up to the 2020 election.
00:43:37.000That fall, when we saw a New York Post story reporting on corruption allegations involving then-presidential Nominee Joe Biden's family.
00:43:43.000We sent that story to fact checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply.
00:43:47.000It's since been made clear the reporting was not Russian disinformation.
00:43:50.000In retrospect, we shouldn't have demoted the story.
00:43:52.000We've changed our policies and processes to make sure this doesn't happen again.
00:43:55.000For instance, we no longer temporarily demote things in the U.S.
00:44:31.000They're starting to find their footing.
00:44:33.000Meticulous attacks on Kamala Harris's lack of principle, lack of record, unwillingness to speak to principle or record, cutting through the miasma of brat.
00:44:43.000That is the only thing that matters here.
00:44:46.000And there's one question that should accomplish all of it.
