The Ben Shapiro Show - Kamala STEALS The Democratic Nomination!

00:00:00.000 Well, folks, there is tons of breaking news.

00:00:02.000 Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race.

00:00:04.000 He's still missing.

00:00:05.000 We don't know whether he's alive or dead.

00:00:07.000 I mean, we think he's kind of alive.

00:00:08.000 He might be a little bit dead.

00:00:09.000 Very difficult to tell at this point.

00:00:11.000 Possible that he's Schrodinger's president.

00:00:13.000 You know, whether you see him or not actually determines whether he's alive or dead.

00:00:16.000 We'll get to all that in just a moment.

00:00:40.000 Okay, so the news of the day is that Kamala Harris, the coronation is complete.

00:00:45.000 The Democrats are indeed going to try to make FETCH happen.

00:00:48.000 So you'll recall that she ran one of the worst presidential races in history back in 2019-2020. 0.86

00:00:52.000 In fact, she dropped out before she even received a single vote in the primaries.

00:00:57.000 Then she became vice president because Joe Biden needed a black woman on the ticket. 0.99

00:01:01.000 And then she was terrible and her approval rating was in the low 30s. 0.98

00:01:03.000 Well now, because Democrats have no other place to turn, she's consolidated the support to become officially the Democratic nominee for president of the United States. 0.98

00:01:11.000 Joe Biden has been forced out.

00:01:13.000 And honest to goodness, it's probably smart of Biden to drop at this point, given the fact that he was almost certainly going to lose to Donald Trump in November.

00:01:20.000 Now, he can at least wash his hands of it.

00:01:22.000 He's not going to be blamed for the loss.

00:01:24.000 Now, there might be some retrospective blame cast upon him if Kamala Harris ends up losing for, number one, picking her as vice president, and for, number two, not getting out of the way earlier to allow for a serious democratic process.

00:01:36.000 Given the fact that there is no democratic process, given the fact that Democrats at the party elite level have decided to simply force Kamala into place, it is what it is, and Joe Biden is now out of the way.

00:01:45.000 He is no longer the story other than his absence and the fact that he's still President of the United States, which we'll get to later.

00:01:52.000 It turns out having a missing President of the United States who goes absent for weeks at a time is probably not a good look to the rest of the world.

00:01:58.000 In terms of campaign 2024, it is all about Kamala.

00:02:03.000 According to the Washington Post, a majority of Democratic delegates have now pledged to support Vice President Harris as the party's next presidential nominee, signaling she is likely to secure the nomination next month.

00:02:14.000 As of Monday evening, 2,214 delegates from at least three dozen states had endorsed Harris.

00:02:18.000 That is out of 4,000 delegates, which means she has a pure majority ready to go.

00:02:22.000 This thing got locked up inside of essentially 48 hours of Joe Biden dropping out of the race, which really suggests that this was all pre-planned.

00:02:31.000 All of these sort of heartburn and angst that you're hearing from the Democratic Party, it seems a little bit overwrought in retrospect, given the fact that not only did they have the support lined up for Kamala Harris, They were basically ready to go with these giant money bombs almost immediately.

00:02:46.000 So Nancy Pelosi yesterday announced her support for Kamala Harris, which essentially was the icing on the cake. 0.85

00:02:52.000 It was the significant... Nancy Pelosi really is the leader of the Democratic Party. 0.57

00:02:55.000 The two leaders of the Democratic Party, it was never Joe Biden.

00:02:58.000 Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are the leaders of the Democratic Party.

00:03:02.000 So much so that it turns out that Nancy Pelosi was actively intervening in meetings with Joe Biden as early as 2021.

00:03:11.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, President Biden had just finished trying to persuade a group of congressional Democrats to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill when Nancy Pelosi, then House Speaker, took the microphone.

00:03:20.000 In 30 minutes of remarks on Capitol Hill, Biden had spoken disjointedly and failed to make a concrete ask of lawmakers, according to Democrats in the room.

00:03:27.000 After he left, a visibly frustrated Pelosi told the group she would articulate, What Biden had been trying to say, according to one lawmaker.

00:03:34.000 That was October 2021.

00:03:37.000 That month was the last time, according to the Wall Street Journal, Biden met with the House Democratic Caucus on the Hill regarding legislation.

00:03:43.000 That was three years ago.

00:03:45.000 So Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama have been the de facto leaders of the Democratic Party since, effectively, Joe Biden was elected.

00:03:53.000 And with Nancy Pelosi now endorsing Kamala Harris, with her now having garnered the support of a majority of the delegates, the money bombs are dropping everywhere.

00:04:02.000 Democrats are dropping money bombs on Kamala Harris.

00:04:04.000 They also dropped a giant money bomb on the economy, which is how you got, you know, 40-year highs in inflation.

00:04:09.000 Saudi Arabia recently ended its 50-year petrodollar deal with the United States.

00:04:13.000 That does have the additional Ability to weaken the United States dollar.

00:04:16.000 Since 1974, Saudi has sold oil solely in U.S.

00:04:19.000 dollars, which was huge for our global economic dominance.

00:04:22.000 Well, now they'd like other options.

00:04:23.000 If there's less demand for the U.S.

00:04:24.000 dollar, what exactly happens to its values?

00:04:26.000 It's for reasons like this I feel it's important to diversify at least some of your savings into gold.

00:05:20.000 with my friends over at Birch Gold.

00:05:23.000 According to Political Playbook, a $150 million commitment by Democratic big money donors dropped

00:05:29.000 less than a day after she made her candidacy for president official.

00:05:34.000 Couple that with the $50 million drop that happened the day that Joe Biden dropped out of the race.

00:05:40.000 Future Forward has already set aside $250 million for TV and digital advertising.

00:05:45.000 Hundreds of millions of dollars came into play almost immediately.

00:05:48.000 Which again, is a suggestion that this was all pre-planned.

00:05:51.000 This thing clicked into place far too fast for it to have been spontaneous in any way, shape, or form.

00:05:58.000 Now that doesn't mean that Kamala Harris has a good strategy here. 1.00

00:06:00.000 It turns out that she pretty clearly does not.

00:06:02.000 We'll get to the polling data in just a moment here.

00:06:05.000 But according to Politico, there was a big organizing call between Kamala Harris and tens of thousands of her supporters.

00:06:13.000 This happened On Sunday.

00:06:17.000 And apparently here's what happened on the call.

00:06:19.000 We need to defend our sister everywhere, read the meeting notes obtained by Politico.

00:06:23.000 It is a thing to have MAGA World chasing you.

00:06:26.000 Organizers behind the memo for this call urged anyone reading it to quote,

00:06:29.000 pick at least one section or part of a section of Project 2025 to read

00:06:33.000 and become a subject matter expert in order to be armed with information

00:06:36.000 and to support the effort that way.

00:06:38.000 So again, the idea that they're going to be able to run on Project 2025

00:06:44.000 is absolutely ridiculous, but Those on the virtual call were ready to get organized.

00:06:49.000 Joteka Eddy, who founded Win With Black Women, which again, I'm always amazed by the level of tribal racialism that you are able to express so long as it is intersectional in nature. 0.93

00:07:03.000 If this were Win With White Men, that would obviously not be acceptable in America's body politic, but apparently a group called Win With Black Women is totally fine. 0.96

00:07:11.000 Quote, it was just really the excitement of black women and our allies not wanting to miss this historic moment. 0.59

00:07:17.000 So apparently, Letitia James, the corrupt Attorney General of New York, has been working to gather the support of Black Attorneys General for Harris. 1.00

00:07:25.000 Again, just tribal racialism.

00:07:28.000 She announced Sunday that she and the five other Black State Attorneys General in the United States from Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Nevada will be part of a coalition working to back Kamala Harris. 0.89

00:07:37.000 So you can tell what kind of campaign Kamala Harris is going to run pretty much right away. 1.00

00:07:42.000 She is going to run an extremely intersectional campaign, a black female campaign.

00:07:47.000 She's going to run the Barack Obama 2012 playbook.

00:07:49.000 Now, the problem is Barack Obama's 2012 playbook came on the back of Barack Obama winning a huge election victory in 2008.

00:07:56.000 You can run the intersectional playbook, but only if you win your first election by a huge margin.

00:08:02.000 Democrats did not win the 2020 election by a huge margin.

00:08:05.000 They actually won incredibly slim in a historically skewed election based on extraordinarily high levels of voter turnout, which again, was based on a change in the rules in COVID.

00:08:16.000 So if they're going to run a campaign from 2020, it is amazing to me that Democrats, instead of looking at the 2008 Barack Obama campaign, which was a huge victory, a huge historic level Democratic victory, instead of looking at that as the model for what they should do going forward, instead, they look at 2012 as the model for what they should do going forward, despite the fact that Barack Obama lost 3 million absolute votes between 2008 and 2012.

00:08:39.000 But that's the campaign that Kamala Harris is going to run. 1.00

00:08:42.000 So last night, Kamala Harris did a campaign event. 1.00

00:08:45.000 It was really for her own staffers.

00:08:48.000 And she led off by praising Joe Biden.

00:08:50.000 This, by the way, is going to be the chief vulnerability for Kamala Harris.

00:08:53.000 We'll discuss all of her vulnerabilities in a moment.

00:08:55.000 She is not a strong candidate.

00:08:58.000 But her chief vulnerability is she's the vice president of a wildly unpopular administration. 1.00

00:09:03.000 This administration does not have a list of accomplishments Americans like.

00:09:06.000 It is amazing to watch all these people come out of the woodwork and declare that Joe Biden actually has been an amazing president.

00:09:12.000 Now, a minute ago, they said he was really bad at presidenting.

00:09:15.000 Then he dropped out and suddenly he's an amazing president.

00:09:17.000 Why?

00:09:17.000 Well, they have to flip the narrative.

00:09:19.000 If it turns out he's a crappy president and that Kamala Harris is his crappy vice president, Well, then probably she's not a very good candidate. 0.82

00:09:25.000 So here is Kamala Harris at the campaign event last night, suggesting that Joe Biden has a legacy of accomplishments, which is wild since his main accomplishment is just beating Donald Trump. 0.87

00:09:33.000 And then his secondary accomplishment, apparently, according to Democrats, is dying in a debate and dropping out of the race.

00:09:39.000 Here's Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:09:41.000 Our president, Joe Biden, wanted to be here today.

00:09:44.000 He is feeling much better and recovering fast, and he looks forward to getting back on the road.

00:09:49.000 And I wanted to say a few words about our president.

00:09:52.000 Joe Biden's legacy of accomplishment over the past three years is unmatched in modern history.

00:10:03.000 Boy, how'd you like four years of that?

00:10:05.000 Maybe eight years of that.

00:10:07.000 Would you love that?

00:10:07.000 Would you love eight years of that right there?

00:10:11.000 By the way, his accomplishments are burning the Middle East to a crisp, lighting Ukraine on fire, destroying the economy via inflation, Destroying whatever possibility there was of building of social fabric through radical social policy. 0.59

00:10:25.000 I mean, truly, name the magical accomplishment of Joe Biden other than elevating Kamala Harris to the nomination via proxy.

00:10:34.000 Because again, she has received zero, count them, zero Democratic primary votes.

00:10:39.000 Ever.

00:10:40.000 In her entire life.

00:10:42.000 And now she's the nominee for the President of the United States. 1.00

00:10:45.000 So what is her campaign against Donald Trump gonna be?

00:10:47.000 She says that she's gonna prosecute Trump.

00:10:49.000 Honestly, like, really?

00:10:50.000 This is all you got in the can?

00:10:51.000 Seriously?

00:10:51.000 This is what you got?

00:10:53.000 So, Democrats have been trying this crap since 2015. 0.98

00:10:56.000 Since 2015, the idea has been Donald Trump is an out-of-the-box criminal and we are going to prosecute the case against Donald Trump. 0.98

00:11:01.000 Okay, guys, good luck with that.

00:11:04.000 Seriously.

00:11:05.000 Kamala Harris...

00:11:07.000 They are trying to make Fetch happen by selecting Kamala Harris.

00:11:10.000 And she is trying to make Fetch happen by going after Donald Trump on a prosecutorial basis. 0.98

00:11:14.000 This is the kind of stuff that jazzes up a very, very small wing of the Democratic base and literally no one else.

00:11:20.000 Here's Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:11:23.000 In the days and weeks ahead, I, together with you, will do everything in my power to unite our Democratic Party, To unite our nation and to win this election.

00:11:35.000 You know, as many of you know, before I was elected as Vice President, before I was elected as United States Senator, I was the elected Attorney General, as I've mentioned, of California.

00:11:46.000 Before that, I was a courtroom prosecutor.

00:11:49.000 In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. 0.83

00:11:54.000 Predators who abused women.

00:11:57.000 Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. 0.98

00:12:00.000 Is she though?

00:12:01.000 I mean, she was a really bad prosecutor, by the way.

00:12:03.000 So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type.

00:12:10.000 Oh, she's going to prosecute the president. 0.72

00:12:15.000 Mm hmm.

00:12:17.000 Is she though?

00:12:18.000 I mean, she was a really bad prosecutor, by the way.

00:12:21.000 If you don't believe me, go watch episode one of our series, Scamala, which is all about

00:12:27.000 You can go watch that over at Daily Wire Plus right now when you use that 47% off and become a subscriber.

00:12:32.000 Again, it's everything you need to know about Kamala Harris.

00:12:34.000 We were prepared for Kamala Harris to be the nominee full-on two weeks ago, which is why we cut that series. 0.97

00:12:41.000 That is not- Okay, try it.

00:12:43.000 Seriously, try it.

00:12:44.000 You're going to proce- Donald Trump has 100% name recognition.

00:12:49.000 No one's perception of Donald Trump is going to change from here on out.

00:12:56.000 The question is, can Kamala Harris generate any enthusiasm? 0.71

00:13:00.000 And honestly, I haven't seen so much fake enthusiasm for anything in American public life since Beyonce dropped her last album.

00:13:07.000 The amount of fake ersatz enthusiasm Democrats are trying to gin up, and you can feel it.

00:13:10.000 You can feel it's not real.

00:13:12.000 You can feel they're trying to whip themselves into a lather over Kamala Harris.

00:13:17.000 But there's a phrase that's historically been used about politics, which is that Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.

00:13:23.000 In this election, it's precisely the reverse.

00:13:25.000 Republicans love their candidate.

00:13:26.000 Overall, Republicans love Trump.

00:13:29.000 They have loyalty to Trump.

00:13:30.000 Democrats are falling in line.

00:13:32.000 No one loves Kamala Harris.

00:13:34.000 Kamala Harris has run for president before. 0.76

00:13:36.000 She was such a terrible candidate that everyone, including Politico, ran full pieces on how awful her candidacy was. 1.00

00:13:42.000 Then she was such a terrible vice president that half her staff quit. 0.99

00:13:46.000 She's truly bad at this, and we shouldn't remember how bad she is at this.

00:13:49.000 So all this sort of desperate hope that you're seeing in Democratic circles, Reality will set in, I believe, soon enough, because Kamala Harris is not a good candidate, and she has proved that repeatedly.

00:13:58.000 Remember, Kamala Harris, she's only run effectively one competitive race in the last 20 years, and that was for Attorney General of the State of California.

00:14:07.000 She won by one point, by one point.

00:14:10.000 Then she ran a completely non-competitive race in the California Senate, for the Senate seat in California, against Loretta Sanchez, a fellow Democrat. 0.85

00:14:18.000 And then she ran the worst presidential campaign Since Rick Perry. 1.00

00:14:22.000 Listen, Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate, but then again, she was also a terrible DA. 0.99

00:14:25.000 She was a terrible attorney general of the state of California. 1.00

00:14:28.000 Things got less safe under Kamala Harris.

00:14:29.000 Speaking of safety, as social unrest escalates and as people begin to fear crime more and more, securing the safeness of your family is more crucial than ever.

00:14:37.000 Now, listen, I'm a big Second Amendment advocate.

00:14:39.000 I own a variety of guns, but if I have the ability to stop a threat inside my own home without killing anybody, I would like to do that.

00:14:45.000 That is what Burna is for.

00:14:46.000 Introducing the Burna Ungun, the non-lethal self-defense platform Lightweight, simple to use, it uses an easy-to-load 5-round magazine and is powered by an 8-gram CO2 cartridge.

00:14:56.000 Burna launchers fire a 68-caliber chemical-filled projectile using a patented pull-pierce technology where the CO2 canister is only punctured on the first trigger pull.

00:15:03.000 That means that your launcher is always sitting there at the ready.

00:15:31.000 Here's Kamala Harris again trying to make the pitch. 1.00

00:15:33.000 We are not going to go back.

00:15:34.000 We're not.

00:15:37.000 He and his extreme project 2025 will weaken the middle class and bring us backward. 0.56

00:15:44.000 America has tried these economic policies before.

00:15:49.000 They do not lead to prosperity.

00:15:52.000 They lead to inequity and economic injustice.

00:15:57.000 And we are not going back.

00:16:01.000 God, she is so awful.

00:16:02.000 I mean, even her juxtaposition right there of prosperity with economic injustice is truly amazing.

00:16:08.000 Because again, the opposite of prosperity is poverty.

00:16:12.000 It's poverty.

00:16:14.000 And when she says that they lead us away from prosperity and toward economic injustice, notice what she's doing there.

00:16:21.000 She's doing the equity routine.

00:16:22.000 You know what Americans don't like?

00:16:24.000 The racialized equity routine that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have been pushing nonstop since they entered office.

00:16:30.000 Her campaign, if she's actually in control of it, her only hope here is to delegate this thing to the Obama team. 1.00

00:16:35.000 That is really her only hope here.

00:16:37.000 She already got rid of the Biden team.

00:16:38.000 It's not going to be Tom Donilon.

00:16:39.000 It's not going to be General Malley Dillon.

00:16:41.000 It's not going to be the people who got Joe Biden there because they don't like her very much and she doesn't like them.

00:16:46.000 And it better not be her 2019 presidential campaign team because they were truly awful.

00:16:50.000 Her only hope is to basically sit down and be quiet and let Barack Obama's people run this thing. 0.99

00:16:56.000 That is her only hope.

00:16:57.000 So far, that doesn't seem to be the case.

00:16:59.000 So, for example, According to BBC, Kamala Harris has overhauled her campaign's online presence by embracing a social media trend inspired by pop star Charli XCX's Brat album cover.

00:17:11.000 The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has scattered references to the album across her campaign's account, renaming her profile Kamala HQ.

00:17:19.000 Her rebrand comes as Charlie showed her support by treating Kamala-is-Brat shortly after President Joe Biden announced he was stepping out of the race. 0.60

00:17:26.000 By Monday morning, Harris had seized on Charli XCX's backing with the account sporting a new lime green photo in the style of the Brat album cover.

00:17:35.000 So, for those of you who have no idea what exactly brat means because, you know, you're over the age of 15, here's what brat means according to CharlieXCX.

00:17:44.000 You're just like that girl who's a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes, who feels like herself but maybe also has a breakdown, but kind of like parties, though it is very honest, very blunt, a little bit volatile, like does dumb things, but it's brat. 0.99

00:17:56.000 You're brat. 0.99

00:17:56.000 That's brat. 0.99

00:17:58.000 Okay, that is the campaign that I desperately hope Kamala Harris continues to run. 0.90

00:18:02.000 Kamala Harris as Bratt. 0.95

00:18:04.000 Says dumb things, does dumb things, gets drunk sometimes, but has fun. 0.56

00:18:08.000 Also, can I just explain? 0.97

00:18:10.000 No one above the age of 25 in the United States knows what the F Bratt means.

00:18:15.000 When we think Bratt, we think like, spoil Bratt, like some of our children.

00:18:18.000 No one thinks Bratt is something good.

00:18:21.000 But Kamala Harris is so terminally online, so disconnected from the general public, that she believes That Charli XCX, who again, most people above the age of 35 have never heard of Charli XCX.

00:18:33.000 She thinks that embracing the branding of Charli XCX is somehow good for her.

00:18:37.000 That's how disconnected and terrible her campaign is. 0.99

00:18:39.000 Now for his part, Donald Trump slammed Harris as dumb as a rock on his Truth Social page. 0.99

00:18:46.000 Now again, I think he's going to have to do better than this in terms of the nickname. 0.98

00:18:48.000 This is pretty...

00:18:52.000 Here's what he posted.

00:18:52.000 He said, No, it just doesn't work that way.

00:18:54.000 He's been trying out a few different lines on Kamala Harris.

00:18:55.000 So he has called her laughing Kamala.

00:18:56.000 of our country into a brilliant and heroic leader. He was heroic because he

00:18:59.000 quit and turned dumb as a rock Kamala Harris from a totally failed and 0.99

00:19:03.000 insignificant vice president into a future a great president. No, it just 1.00

00:19:06.000 doesn't work that way. He's been trying out a few different lines on Kamala

00:19:10.000 Harris so he has called her laughing Kamala which me again I recommend 1.00

00:19:17.000 I think that it is the best term for her.

00:19:20.000 Also, I think Kamalaier would probably be good because she is deeply, deeply dishonest. 1.00

00:19:26.000 Just a few suggestions for the president, if he is taking suggestions.

00:19:29.000 He did call her this morning Lion Kamala, which again, He used the lion's head, but then he also called Joe Biden Crooked Joe.

00:19:36.000 So, Lion Kamala is pretty good.

00:19:39.000 Again, I think that's probably, and it seems like he's settling on that because he's used that multiple times this morning.

00:19:44.000 He said, Lion Kamala Harris, the Biden-appointed border czar, who never visited the border and whose incompetence gave us the worst and most dangerous border anywhere in the world, has absolutely terrible poll numbers against a fine and brilliant young man named Donald J. Trump.

00:19:55.000 I love that Trump calls himself a fine and brilliant young man.

00:20:00.000 He's 78.

00:20:02.000 Be careful what you wish for, Democrats.

00:20:03.000 MAGA 2024.

00:20:04.000 So, pretty solid stuff there from President Trump.

00:20:09.000 Okay, now, what do the polls suggest as of right now?

00:20:12.000 The polls suggest that she comes into this thing a pretty solid underdog. 1.00

00:20:16.000 So, the RealClearPolitics polling average has her already down two points. 0.97

00:20:19.000 That's a slight improvement from where Joe Biden was in the RealClearPolitics polling average.

00:20:24.000 The RealClearPolitics polling average put him down almost four points.

00:20:28.000 There are four polls that have come out.

00:20:30.000 Since Joe Biden was ousted from the race.

00:20:34.000 The Morning Console poll which shows Trump up 47-45.

00:20:37.000 The Quinnipiac poll that shows Trump up 49-47.

00:20:39.000 A Forbes-Harris X poll that shows Trump up 6, 53-47.

00:20:43.000 And then just before Biden dropped out, but was really on the verge of it, a CBS News poll that showed Trump up 51-48.

00:20:50.000 So Trump does have a lead against Kamala Harris.

00:20:52.000 Not only does Trump have a lead against Kamala Harris, in the swing states, he also appears to have a lead.

00:20:57.000 I should point out at this point, by the way, that that Harris expo for Forbes, which shows him up by a few points there, shows him up by six points.

00:21:06.000 That particular Harris ex-poll shows her running dead even with him only among Hispanics.

00:21:12.000 Okay, if he wins an even number of Hispanics, not only does he win the election, he wins the election very, very big. 0.63

00:21:18.000 Donald Trump's poll numbers are looking really healthy, but if you want to stay healthy, you need balance of nature, as you may have noticed.

00:21:23.000 We're flying around the country.

00:21:24.000 We've got a lot going on, and that means I need to stay healthy.

00:21:27.000 Balance of Nature helps me do just that.

00:21:30.000 Balance of Nature fits easily into my day-to-day schedule.

00:21:32.000 Imagine trying to eat 31 different fruits and veggies every day.

00:21:35.000 That sounds pretty miserable and time-consuming.

00:21:37.000 With Balance of Nature Fruits and Veggies, there's never been a more convenient dietary supplement to ensure you get a wide variety of fruits and veggies every single day.

00:21:44.000 Balance of Nature takes fruits and veggies, they freeze-dry them, they turn them into a powder, and then they put them into a capsule.

00:21:48.000 You take your fruit and veggie capsules every day, and then your body knows what to do with them.

00:21:53.000 Also, kosher, which means that I can bring them with me on the road, pop them into those.

00:21:57.000 Protein smoothies and keep the gun show going.

00:21:59.000 Go to balanceofnature.com, use promo code Shapiro for 35% off your first order as a preferred customer, plus get a free bottle of Fiber and Spice.

00:22:05.000 Again, that's balanceofnature.com, promo code Shapiro.

00:22:12.000 Go to balanceofnature.com, use promo code Shapiro for 35% off your first order as a preferred customer, plus you get a free bottle of Fiber and Spice.

00:22:20.000 There also is, in this Harris Expo, a wide divide between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

00:22:27.000 Among likely voters.

00:22:28.000 So that 53-47 lead is among registered voters.

00:22:32.000 Among likely voters, Donald Trump is beating her by 10 percentage points.

00:22:37.000 That's without leaners. 0.72

00:22:40.000 That is just people who are sort of inclined to vote, but are not, quote unquote, leaning one way or another.

00:22:47.000 The undecideds are not counted.

00:22:48.000 If you don't count the undecideds, Trump is beating her by 10.

00:22:52.000 However, if you count the leaners, if you count the leaners, then what you see is that Donald Trump is up 53 to 47 against Kamala Harris.

00:23:02.000 If you look at the likely voters, he's up by like 10 points.

00:23:08.000 So again, when it comes to registered voters, like the overall voting population, she's doing better than she does among people who have already decided to vote.

00:23:15.000 Okay, whatever it is, these are bad numbers.

00:23:17.000 The new Quinnipiac poll shows Trump up 45 to 41 over Kamala Harris, and the Quinnipiac poll tends to be pretty friendly.

00:23:24.000 Again, that Quinnipiac poll, that is among registered voters.

00:23:28.000 Independents have Trump up 14 points in that particular poll.

00:23:34.000 So again, these are very bad poll numbers for Kamala Harris.

00:23:37.000 Meanwhile, PPP polls, which is a Democratic fund, right?

00:23:41.000 PPP is a Democratic pollster.

00:23:44.000 The last polls they have in the states, and again, this is before Kamala Harris was actually the nominee, so these were prospective, this would have been July 11th through 12th, showed Trump up one in Wisconsin, two in Michigan, eight in Arizona, six in Pennsylvania.

00:23:59.000 So these are not amazing poll numbers for Kamala Harris.

00:24:02.000 Strategically speaking, there's been a lot of talk about Kamala Harris turning away from the Rust Belt and turning toward the Sun Belt. 0.95

00:24:08.000 That is not a winning strategy for Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:24:13.000 Right now, Donald Trump is broadly winning Georgia, he's broadly winning Arizona, he's broadly winning Nevada.

00:24:17.000 The idea that she's going to somehow close the gap in these states, I think is wishful thinking.

00:24:22.000 She's going to have to win Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. 1.00

00:24:26.000 That is the blue wall.

00:24:29.000 There's no one-for-one trade here.

00:24:31.000 How exactly is she going to win Georgia? 1.00

00:24:33.000 She's down six points in Georgia.

00:24:35.000 Now, I know that Democrats believe that because Georgia, demographically, is about one-third black, that means that she's going to outperform Joe Biden.

00:24:44.000 I see no indicators of that.

00:24:47.000 The notion that she's going to wildly outperform with black voters, I think, again, is ersatz enthusiasm for Kamala Harris. 0.58

00:24:55.000 She was such a bad candidate that she couldn't even get Black support in the 2020 Democratic primaries. 1.00

00:25:00.000 She was beaten by an old white man, Joe Biden, in 2020.

00:25:05.000 So again, the kind of basic idea that there will be broad, enthusiastic Black support for Kamala Harris the same way that there was for Barack Obama, I think is highly, highly unlikely.

00:25:14.000 That's particularly true of Black male support.

00:25:16.000 Because of course, she's a Black female, she is not Barack Obama, who was in fact a Black male. 0.61

00:25:22.000 Now, so they're thinking Georgia.

00:25:24.000 I know that they're also thinking Nevada.

00:25:26.000 Nevada is about 11% black.

00:25:28.000 But again, she's running really poorly among Hispanics. 0.61

00:25:31.000 So hard to see how she makes up the ground there.

00:25:33.000 They're also talking about the possibility of Arizona.

00:25:35.000 This is also why there's been some discussion about Mark Kelly as a plausible Democratic nominee for Vice President of the United States.

00:25:42.000 Arizona is only about 5.7% black, demographically speaking.

00:25:46.000 I'm focusing in on that because Barack Obama really focused, again, on that intersectional campaign.

00:25:51.000 Kamala Harris is presumably going to do the same thing. 0.84

00:25:55.000 If you're just looking at the states that are in play by percentage black population, then what you see is that the states that are in play that have a relatively high percent, at least a demographically outsized percentage by state of black population, are Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia.

00:26:14.000 Okay, again, she's running well behind in Michigan at this point, according to the polling data.

00:26:18.000 She's not going to win Georgia.

00:26:20.000 And so, that means, are they surrendering Wisconsin and Pennsylvania?

00:26:24.000 Like, how exactly does the map work for her?

00:26:26.000 The map does not really improve for her.

00:26:27.000 This is an uphill race.

00:26:28.000 Beyond that, people are forgetting, she is a terrible candidate. 0.93

00:26:32.000 This is the key to Kamala Harris.

00:26:34.000 She's a really, really bad candidate. 1.00

00:26:37.000 Again, they're trying to fake the enthusiasm, but Hillary Clinton was a significantly better candidate than Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:26:42.000 Kamala Harris is not only charmless and weird, she also happens to be extraordinarily radical. 1.00

00:26:47.000 In fact, this is one of the reasons why Joe Biden took so long to drop out.

00:26:50.000 According to Axios, President Biden hesitated to drop his real-life campaign in part because he and his senior advisors worried that Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't up to taking on Donald Trump, according to three Biden aides familiar with recent talks about his plans.

00:27:02.000 By the way, this is also going to be a roiling undercurrent that is really amusing to Republicans going forward.

00:27:07.000 Joe Biden is Pissed at Kamala Harris.

00:27:09.000 He is rageful at Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi.

00:27:12.000 So if you think that Team Biden is going to sit by in the shadows and do nothing or overtly support Kamala and just rah-rah her to the White House, it's not going to happen.

00:27:22.000 Joe Biden is mad and his team is mad and they don't like Kamala Harris.

00:27:25.000 They don't like Barack Obama.

00:27:26.000 They don't like Nancy Pelosi.

00:27:28.000 So there will be this sort of riptide against the Kamala Harris campaign coming from leaks from Team Biden.

00:27:34.000 And that's going to be amusing to watch.

00:27:36.000 It's going to be fun to watch as Joe Biden's team tries to undermine Kamala Harris.

00:27:39.000 That's like an actual thing that will probably happen.

00:27:41.000 You know what's not fun?

00:27:42.000 Dealing with tax problems.

00:27:44.000 Handling it alone, if you've got back taxes or unfiled returns, that can be a huge mistake and cost you thousands of dollars.

00:28:45.000 According to Axios, Biden, Bill and Hillary Clinton, many Democratic lawmakers quickly endorsed Kamala Harris.

00:28:51.000 Others did not immediately do so.

00:28:53.000 But Harris's time as vice president has been occasionally rocky, defined in part by large staff turnover, retreating from politically risky responsibilities, and mocking from some Beltway insiders.

00:29:06.000 According to Axios, much of Harris' staff has turned over in the past three and a half years.

00:29:09.000 About half of the vice president's staff is paid by the Senate, which requires regular disclosures.

00:29:13.000 Of the 47 Harris staffers listed in 2025, only five still work for her as of this spring.

00:29:21.000 You understand how bad her office is?

00:29:23.000 She had 47 Harris staffers in 2021.

00:29:26.000 Five still work for her today. 0.98

00:29:29.000 I mean, that is nuclear wasteland levels of staff annihilation right there.

00:29:33.000 People cannot stand her. 1.00

00:29:34.000 They hate working with her.

00:29:35.000 They think she's awful.

00:29:37.000 During Obama's first term, then-Vice President Biden had far more staff stability.

00:29:42.000 17 of his 38 aides stayed with him over a similar period.

00:29:45.000 Former Harris aides told Axios the high turnover is partly because of how the vice president treats her staff.

00:29:50.000 Some former aides said Harris had high standards that some did not want to keep up with.

00:29:54.000 Okay, this has been their line for years.

00:29:56.000 Again, watch episode three of Scamalow where we talk about her massive staff problems.

00:30:01.000 Where people like Simone Sanders, who used to work for Kamala Harris, they'd go out there and say, well, yeah, she's just, she's so tough on her staff, that's why, and then she dropped out. 1.00

00:30:08.000 She hated it and she left.

00:30:11.000 Former aides referred to it as Harris, quote, prosecuting the staff, Because Kamala Harris is not a good person or a nice person. 1.00

00:30:18.000 During the 2020 campaign, Biden aides recall watching Harris interrogate her then-Chief of Staff Corinne Jean-Pierre to the point that it made others uncomfortable.

00:30:26.000 After the election, Jean-Pierre left to join the White House press team.

00:30:30.000 The relationship between the Vice President's office and the West Wing has often been tense.

00:30:34.000 White House aides sometimes felt Harris was not a team player and stayed away from any task with risk.

00:30:39.000 In fact, I have it on fairly good authority that Kamala Harris spends enormous parts of her vice presidency playing solitaire on a computer. 0.98

00:30:44.000 I'm not even joking.

00:30:46.000 You think that that's like a joke?

00:30:47.000 That is not a joke.

00:30:48.000 She apparently sat in her office for hours on end and played solitaire on her computer as vice president of the United States, which is an outtake from Veep.

00:30:57.000 At times, Harris aides suspected Biden's team didn't want to give Harris opportunities to shine.

00:31:00.000 Well, I mean, there were no opportunities for her to shine.

00:31:03.000 Number one, because bad policy.

00:31:04.000 And number two, because Harris is terrible at her job. 1.00

00:31:10.000 Apparently, again, Harris has been reluctant and cautious to participate in events that weren't tightly controlled.

00:31:16.000 This is an amazing story.

00:31:17.000 In 2022, apparently, the White House internally pushed Harris to be the headliner for D.C.' 's traditional gridiron dinner, but she resisted.

00:31:24.000 Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo did it instead. 0.63

00:31:27.000 Not only that, in April 2022, Harris was the guest for a D.C.

00:31:31.000 dinner at D.C.

00:31:32.000 news mogul David Bradley's home, a salon-style event Bradley hosts with Washington journalists and newsmakers.

00:31:38.000 Harris's anxiety about the dinner was such that her staff held a mock dinner beforehand with staffers playing participants, according to two people familiar with the event.

00:31:47.000 Harris aides even considered including wine in the mock prep so Harris could practice with a glass or two.

00:31:51.000 They ultimately decided against it.

00:31:52.000 So understand, this is a friendly dinner, and the White House staff was so nervous about how bad she would be, they held a mock dinner with mock humans.

00:32:00.000 Have you ever done that?

00:32:00.000 You have an important business dinner, so you actually just get a bunch of your friends, and then you have them pretend that you're having dinner together?

00:32:07.000 That is how bad she is at this. 0.99

00:32:10.000 And that is on a personal level.

00:32:13.000 On a presidential level, on a policy level, one of the big problems for her is she's done nothing as vice president other than be awful on the border. 0.88

00:32:21.000 So you'll recall pretty famously that Joe Biden in 2021 appointed Kamala Bordasar.

00:32:27.000 Here he was doing just that.

00:32:28.000 I've asked her, the VP today, because she's the most qualified person to do it, to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle.

00:32:41.000 And the countries that we're going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks stemming the migration to our southern border.

00:32:56.000 By the way, that was 2021.

00:32:56.000 You can hear Joe Biden is already losing it at that point.

00:32:59.000 But that was him appointing her border czar.

00:33:01.000 How were things after that?

00:33:02.000 Only the worst migration crisis in the history of the United States.

00:33:06.000 And, of course, you'll remember when she went on with Lester Holt and then explained that she'd been to the border, and then she was reminded that she had not, in fact, been to the border, and then she admitted she had not been to the border.

00:33:17.000 We are going to the border.

00:33:18.000 We've been to the border.

00:33:19.000 So this whole thing about the border, we've been to the border.

00:33:24.000 We've been to the border.

00:33:25.000 You haven't been to the border.

00:33:27.000 And I haven't been to Europe.

00:33:30.000 I don't understand the point that you're making.

00:33:32.000 I'm not discounting the importance of the border.

00:33:36.000 I know Republicans have certainly come at you on this, but Democratic Congressman Cuellar, as a border district, has said to you and the President, come.

00:33:45.000 You need to see this.

00:33:46.000 Listen, I care about what's happening at the border.

00:33:49.000 I haven't been to Europe either, or Disneyland, or Universal Studios.

00:33:55.000 Oh boy, ready for eight years of that, are you?

00:33:58.000 It's sounding great to you.

00:33:59.000 Other policy wins for Kamala included that time that she announced her pronouns, because this is who you want as President of the United States.

00:34:08.000 Good afternoon.

00:34:09.000 I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time.

00:34:19.000 I am Kamala Harris.

00:34:22.000 My pronouns are she and her.

00:34:23.000 I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.

00:34:30.000 Good God.

00:34:32.000 So what exactly are her qualifications other than she was elevated to a position she clearly did not earn?

00:34:36.000 I mean, and when I say didn't earn, I mean she failed dramatically in her presidential primary. 0.99

00:34:42.000 She was in the Senate for five seconds before she was granted that upcharge right there. 1.00

00:34:48.000 So Chris Coons, who's an ally of the President of the United States, he was asked by Brett Baier last night, so what has she done exactly as Vice President?

00:34:56.000 And Chris Coons gave this bizarre answer.

00:34:59.000 What do you think has been Vice President Harris's biggest accomplishment as Vice President?

00:35:05.000 Well, look, I think she's done remarkable work across several important areas.

00:35:10.000 Something that I think hasn't gotten much coverage is her passion for entrepreneurship, for wealth creation, for securing and stabilizing the middle class. 1.00

00:35:19.000 She's traveled around the country to meet with small businesses and to talk with them about what it takes to get back to work, to grow a small business, to sustain the wealth and opportunity for a family.

00:35:31.000 I love that.

00:35:32.000 So, Bret Baier's like, wait, she did that?

00:35:33.000 She did that? 1.00

00:35:35.000 And he's like, I'm just going to keep going.

00:35:37.000 I didn't hear that question.

00:35:38.000 Of course she didn't do that! 0.99

00:35:40.000 That is an amazing, amazing answer.

00:35:42.000 Okay, so tell me all the things that you've done.

00:35:45.000 You're doing a job interview.

00:35:45.000 Tell me all the things you've done in the past.

00:35:47.000 Well, I have a passion.

00:35:48.000 I have a passion for doing things.

00:35:49.000 Yeah, but that's not what you've done, you see.

00:35:52.000 If I'm trying to look, for example, for a producer for the show, and I ask for their work experience, tell me the things you've done.

00:35:57.000 And say, well, I have a real passion for production.

00:36:00.000 That makes no difference to me.

00:36:01.000 I love cameras.

00:36:03.000 Cameras are amazing.

00:36:04.000 Yeah, great.

00:36:06.000 That's terrific.

00:36:07.000 Also, what have you done, ever?

00:36:09.000 The problem for Kamala Harris is she hasn't done anything, ever.

00:36:12.000 Except be wildly dishonest with regard to everything from the Kavanaugh hearings To her own Vice Presidency.

00:36:19.000 In just a moment we'll get to her extraordinarily liberal record as Senator. 0.99

00:36:22.000 She was literally the most left-wing Senator in the United States Senate as of 2019. 0.99

00:36:26.000 And we'll get to all the things she said she would do if she were made President in 2020.

00:36:30.000 Which, by the way, is the best evidence of what she would do if she were made President today.

00:36:34.000 Not what she did as Vice President, where she works for the President of the United States, the Vice Presidency, as John Adams once famously suggested, no better than a warm bucket of spit. 0.99

00:36:43.000 What would she actually do if she were president?

00:36:44.000 Well, she said all the things in 2020.

00:36:45.000 The nice thing about Kamala Harris is that we know exactly what she would do because she talked about it openly in 2020.

00:36:51.000 We'll get to that in just one moment.

00:36:54.000 First, as you know, Sleepy Joe is out.

00:36:56.000 Kamala Harris is in.

00:36:57.000 Well, we haven't talked about any of this stuff.

00:36:59.000 And we need to, with the crew at Backstage.

00:37:02.000 Tonight, 7 p.m.

00:37:03.000 Eastern, The Daily Wire's Backstage is indeed live.

00:37:06.000 Join me, along with Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klaben, and Jeremy Boring from locations Various and Sundry, as we discuss who the left is going to prop up next, what dirty tricks they have up their sleeves, and how we're going to keep America from falling off the cliff.

00:37:17.000 Do not miss Backstage Live tonight, 7 p.m.

00:37:19.000 Eastern, on Daily Wire Plus.

00:37:21.000 It is free, it is live, it is going to be legendary.

00:37:24.000 Okay, meanwhile, just how liberal is Kamala Harris? 1.00

00:37:27.000 And this should be the attack line.

00:37:28.000 Right?

00:37:28.000 Obviously, we all know her history, or we should know her history.

00:37:31.000 Again, for the third time, go check out Scamala if you don't know enough about Kamala Harris. 0.83

00:37:35.000 That's our series over at Daily Wire Plus.

00:37:37.000 You get 47% off when you use code FIGHT.

00:37:39.000 But everybody knows her history with Willie Brown.

00:37:41.000 Everybody knows that's how she got started.

00:37:43.000 Okay, but that's not really the issue in this election.

00:37:45.000 The big issue in this election is not even going to be how weird she is. 1.00

00:37:48.000 That's going to be made apparent to the American public over and over and over. 0.75

00:37:51.000 Because she is weird.

00:37:52.000 Whether she's joking about Falling from a coconut tree or whether she's loving Venn diagrams and electric buses and laughing in that weird manner of hers. 0.93

00:38:00.000 She is a weirdo, but let the American people see that for themselves. 1.00

00:38:04.000 If you're the Trump campaign, don't focus in on how weird she is. 1.00

00:38:06.000 Focus on how crazy she is in terms of policy. 1.00

00:38:11.000 As the Wall Street Journal editorial board points out, Mark her down as endorsing the spending blowouts that cost inflation, the Green New Deal, entitlement expansions, and student loan forgiveness.

00:38:19.000 Until she says otherwise, we should also assume she's in favor of Biden's $5 trillion tax increase in 2025.

00:38:25.000 Because again, all of the Trump tax cuts are set to expire in 2025 if she were president, should presumably allow those tax cuts to expire. 0.99

00:38:34.000 As the Wall Street Journal points out, the vice president's four years as a senator from California are another window on her worldview.

00:38:39.000 She sponsored a bill to create a $6,000 guaranteed income for families making up to $100,000.

00:38:45.000 That's crazy, by the way.

00:38:46.000 That is a giant bag of crazy.

00:38:48.000 Universal basic income, guaranteed income, is a work killer and a redistributionist nightmare that causes inflation.

00:38:55.000 Another Harris proposal, a refundable tax credit that would effectively cap rents and utility payments at 30% of income.

00:39:01.000 That, of course, would jack up the rents.

00:39:04.000 Meanwhile, she co-sponsored legislation with Bernie Sanders that would pay tuition at four-year public colleges for students from families making up to $125,000, meaning that she would spend trillions of dollars paying for everybody's college.

00:39:16.000 Also, she co-sponsored Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All legislation paid for by higher income taxes.

00:39:24.000 She has an extraordinarily long record of being really, really radical on a wide variety of

00:39:29.000 issues. And all we have to do is go back to her campaign to note her bizarre positions 1.00

00:39:32.000 that are going to hurt her in this campaign. So, for example, you may recall that back in 2020,

00:39:37.000 when Kamala Harris was running for the Democratic presidential nomination, 1.00

00:39:41.000 that she wanted to ban fracking. This would have been in 2019.

00:39:43.000 There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.

00:39:52.000 and starting with what we can do on day one around public lands, right?

00:39:56.000 And then there has to be legislation, but yes.

00:39:59.000 And this is something I've taken on in California.

00:40:01.000 I have a history of working on this issue.

00:40:02.000 And to your point, we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the impact on the health and safety of communities.

00:40:13.000 Okay, so she wants to ban fracking. 0.97

00:40:16.000 How is that going to work out for her in, say, Pennsylvania? 0.98

00:40:18.000 Okay, Pennsylvania is a state that is heavily reliant on the fracking industry.

00:40:21.000 Fracking also happens to be one of God's great gifts to humanity in terms of our access to fossil fuels.

00:40:27.000 It has made America energy-independent, effectively, and she wants to ban it outright.

00:40:34.000 How is that going to work in Pennsylvania?

00:40:36.000 We will find out.

00:40:37.000 In 2020, Biden lost badly to Donald Trump in portions of southwestern Pennsylvania and southeastern Ohio, at least partly due to his comments on fracking.

00:40:46.000 An outright ban on fracking is something that even Joe Biden did not endorse in 2020.

00:40:52.000 So how's that gonna work in places like Pennsylvania?

00:40:56.000 How are her energy policies going to work in places like Michigan? 0.99

00:40:59.000 How many Americans are in favor of losing their private health insurance?

00:41:01.000 Is that gonna be a wildly popular take?

00:41:03.000 You'll remember that during the 2020 campaign, Kamala Harris also said that she wanted to ban and abolish private health insurance. 1.00

00:41:10.000 So forget about you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

00:41:13.000 Nope!

00:41:14.000 Kamala Harris wanted a full Medicare-for-all, Canada-style, single-payer health program. 0.83

00:41:21.000 I believe the solution, and I actually feel very strongly about this, is that we need to have Medicare for all.

00:41:27.000 That's just the bottom line.

00:41:34.000 And I'll say this, and this is I think why you're also asking this question.

00:41:40.000 What we know is that to live in a civil society, to be true to the ideals and the spirit of

00:41:46.000 who we say we are as a country, we have to appreciate and understand that access to health

00:41:52.000 care is a it should not be thought of as a privilege. It should be understood to be a right.

00:41:59.000 So she came out against you having private health insurance in 2020.

00:42:03.000 She came out against fracking.

00:42:04.000 What else did she come out against?

00:42:05.000 Well, she wants to seize your guns. 1.00

00:42:08.000 Literally seize them.

00:42:09.000 And she said this again in 2020.

00:42:11.000 She said that she supported a mandatory gun buyback, which would amount to the confiscation of as many as 10 million guns.

00:42:18.000 Here is Kamala Harris in 2020. 0.56

00:42:21.000 I want to follow up to something you just said there, because as you know, the 94 assault weapons ban, it didn't apply to weapons that were purchased before 1994.

00:42:31.000 What would you do about the millions of, specifically, assault weapons that are already in circulation?

00:42:38.000 What do you do about those?

00:42:39.000 Well, there are approximately 5 million, to your point, Craig.

00:42:42.000 We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory buyback program.

00:42:46.000 It's got to be smart.

00:42:46.000 We've got to do it the right way.

00:42:49.000 But there are 5 million at least, some estimate as many as 10 million.

00:42:55.000 And we're going to have to have smart public policy that's about taking those off the streets, 0.98

00:42:59.000 but doing it in the right way.

00:43:03.000 What she means by that, she endorsed a mandatory gun buyback program.

00:43:05.000 A mandatory gun buyback means that you have to bring in the gun and sell it back to the government or the government comes and seizes it from you.

00:43:12.000 That's what a mandatory gun buyback is.

00:43:14.000 Famously, she also said during that same campaign that she wanted to decriminalize border crossing. 0.98

00:43:20.000 These are the most radical positions that any Democrat took during this campaign, and she is now the nominee for president for the Democratic Party.

00:43:27.000 You're for decriminalizing border crossings.

00:43:29.000 You're one of the people that are raising hands at the debate.

00:43:31.000 Do you agree with AOC that we should get rid of DHS altogether?

00:43:34.000 That is not correct.

00:43:35.000 I am not in favor of decriminalizing or not having consequence for it.

00:43:41.000 Let me just be very clear.

00:43:43.000 We have to have a secure border.

00:43:45.000 But I am in favor of saying that we're not going to treat people who are undocumented across the border as criminals.

00:43:50.000 That's correct.

00:43:51.000 That is correct.

00:43:53.000 So, even in that one sentence, she says she's not in favor of decriminalizing border crossings, but she's in favor of decriminalizing border crossings.

00:43:58.000 I mean, that's what she says.

00:44:00.000 The end of that clip is her explicitly saying that if you cross the border illegally, we're not going to treat you as a criminal.

00:44:05.000 And then they made her the borders are, and you got the worst border crisis in the history of the United States. 0.65

00:44:11.000 These are all rich veins for the Trump campaign.

00:44:13.000 If they stick on this, she loses because she's far too far to the left for the rest of the American population. 0.99

00:44:19.000 By the way, when she says that she is a hardcore prosecutor back from her days in California, let me remind you, she is not only not a hardcore prosecutor, she let criminals survive. 0.52

00:44:29.000 Kamala Harris is terrible at her job, but you need to be good at your job, which is why you need RAMP. 1.00

00:45:30.000 dot com slash Shapiro.

00:45:32.000 So famously, there was a case of an officer in California who was shot to death.

00:45:39.000 She avoided seeking the death penalty in order to please her left-wing base.

00:45:42.000 Here's a clip.

00:45:44.000 This goes back to CNN 2020 talking about how she failed to seek the death penalty for a cop killer.

00:45:51.000 This is who Kamala Harris is.

00:45:54.000 Three days after Officer Espinoza's death, Harris held a news conference, pledging to keep a campaign promise.

00:46:02.000 No death penalty.

00:46:04.000 In San Francisco, it is the will, I believe, of a majority of people that the most severe crimes be met with the most severe consequences, and that life without possibility of parole is a severe consequence.

00:46:20.000 So she let a cop killer live.

00:46:22.000 That's who Kamala Harris was. 0.79

00:46:23.000 She was a far left prosecutor type. 1.00

00:46:27.000 She's sort of a George Soros prosecutor type back in California. 0.55

00:46:30.000 Then she becomes the most left-wing senator in the United States. 0.98

00:46:33.000 According to GovTrack, a nonpartisan organization that compiles data on congressional legislation, they found that Kamala Harris in 2019 was quote, the most liberal senator in the United States, more liberal than Bernie Sanders in 2019.

00:46:48.000 So forget all of this talk of Kamala Harris the moderate.

00:46:50.000 She's not even remotely close to a moderate.

00:46:52.000 It's why she's going to attempt to select somebody as a VP candidate who is likely quote-unquote moderate. 0.67

00:46:57.000 But that makes no difference.

00:46:58.000 She herself is not a moderate. 0.99

00:47:00.000 She took the most left-wing positions of anyone in the Democratic primaries in 2020 and then she got her ass handed to her. 1.00

00:47:06.000 As well she should during this election cycle, too.

00:47:09.000 Republicans need to run on a loop all of the things that Kamala Harris has said, all of the things that she, the positions she has taken when she was an actual presidential candidate. 0.79

00:47:19.000 Now, the media, for their part, they are trying again, as I've said before, to make fetch happen.

00:47:23.000 They're trying to make Kamala Harris a thing. 1.00

00:47:24.000 They are running this thing back and they're going to pretend that we've never met Kamala Harris, which is not true.

00:47:28.000 She's widely known.

00:47:29.000 She's the vice president of the United States. 1.00

00:47:31.000 She's widely unpopular.

00:47:32.000 But they're going to try to pretend that this is like your first intro to Kamala Harris, which means, wait for it, she is a black woman. 0.55

00:47:38.000 A historic black woman, who will undoubtedly be the victim of sexism and racism, despite the fact the only reason that she's the vice president is because of her sex and her race. 1.00

00:47:46.000 If she were a white man, she never would have even been a senator from California, let alone vice president of the United States. 0.75

00:47:51.000 Everyone, including Democrats, knows this.

00:47:54.000 But they're going to pretend this is some sort of electoral liability, which is amazing to me.

00:47:58.000 So the New York Times has a headline today.

00:48:00.000 A lot has changed for women since 2016.

00:48:02.000 What does that mean for Kamala Harris?

00:48:05.000 Voters eager to elect the first female president pointed to anger over a loss of abortion rights, but also acknowledged a fear that sexism would remain difficult for Ms. 1.00

00:48:12.000 Harris to overcome.

00:48:13.000 Maybe the problem isn't sexism. 1.00

00:48:14.000 Maybe the problem is she's a trash candidate. 1.00

00:48:16.000 Maybe that's the problem. 1.00

00:48:17.000 But the New York Times is now going to suggest that all of the Resistance to Kamala Harris's candidacy is because of her sex. 0.61

00:48:27.000 Meanwhile, the New York Times also attempting to turn her liability of weirdness into an asset.

00:48:32.000 They're going to pretend that she has cool ant energy when in reality, she has weird cat lady energy. 0.99

00:48:38.000 That's just what she again, not my fault.

00:48:40.000 That's just what she's got.

00:48:42.000 So the New York Times ran a tweet says, quote, You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?

00:48:47.000 Now you remember that clip.

00:48:48.000 That's the weird.

00:48:49.000 You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?

00:48:58.000 The internet has been abuzz with stories examining a meme involving Kamala Harris and remarks she made a year ago.

00:49:03.000 Here's what to know.

00:49:04.000 And then the New York Times headline is, is this the summer of the Kamala Harris coconut meme?

00:49:09.000 Amazing.

00:49:10.000 Meanwhile, the Washington Post's Monica Hess has a piece out Saying this, curious about what kind of candidate she'll be?

00:49:17.000 Kamala Harris's dismantling of Supreme Court justice nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh six years ago is worth a rewatch.

00:49:23.000 Okay, this is the same newspaper that gave her a failing grade on truth when she proclaimed that Brett Kavanaugh was suggesting that birth control methods could be considered abortion-inducing drugs.

00:49:36.000 She lied repeatedly.

00:49:38.000 Four Pinocchios from the Washington Post.

00:49:41.000 But now apparently she's amazing at this. 0.94

00:49:42.000 If you want to watch the lies she told about Brett Kavanaugh, I mean true disgusting lies that she told about Brett Kavanaugh, she was the ringleader of not only the fake rape charges against Brett Kavanaugh via Christine Blasey Ford that were completely unsubstantiated, no details presented, no witnesses presented, no corroboration presented. 0.91

00:49:59.000 Not only was she the ringleader on that, but even before that happened, during the Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court justice hearings, She's a deeply dishonest human being. 0.77

00:50:14.000 The media are trying to push her anyway. 0.99

00:50:17.000 Catherine Rampell, who's a syndicated op-ed columnist for the Washington Post and a commentator on CNN, she put out an image of Kamala Harris Walking and against a white wall and projected from Kamala Harris. 0.94

00:50:31.000 Her shadow is the shadow of Ruby Bridges, who is the six-year-old girl in Louisiana, who is the first black girl to integrate a Southern school, as though Kamala Harris is similar to Ruby Bridges, which is absurd. 0.89

00:50:44.000 That's ridiculous.

00:50:45.000 Kamala Harris was born in 1964. 0.68

00:50:47.000 Ruby Bridges was born in 1954.

00:50:48.000 And then as a six-year-old girl integrated A white school in Louisiana in the segregated South.

00:50:58.000 Kamala Harris was born in 1964 and went to school in Berkeley, California before she moved to Canada to go to a very upper crust high school. 0.99

00:51:08.000 She was the daughter of two professors.

00:51:11.000 Are you kidding me?

00:51:13.000 But they have to make Fetch happen.

00:51:14.000 It's the only thing they could do.

00:51:15.000 They have to.

00:51:17.000 Meanwhile, the Associated Press put out just a phenomenal fact check.

00:51:22.000 Just great.

00:51:23.000 So the Associated Press' fact check here.

00:51:26.000 Claim.

00:51:27.000 Harris got her start by having an affair with a married man, California politician Willie Brown. 1.00

00:51:31.000 The fact.

00:51:32.000 This is missing some important context.

00:51:33.000 Brown was separated from his wife during the relationship, which was not a secret.

00:51:39.000 I noticed that you didn't actually rebut the claim, which is that she got her start by having an affair with a married man.

00:51:44.000 Also, again, I'll refer back to Scamala.

00:51:46.000 In episode one, you'll learn all about Willie Brown's affair with Kamala Harris, how he gave her a couple of sweet, sweet taxpayer-funded positions, how he basically won her her San Francisco D.A.

00:51:57.000 race and got her her first job in the San Francisco D.A.' 's office. 0.99

00:52:00.000 You'll also learn that it was because Brown's wife objected to Kamala Harris that he didn't end up moving forward with Kamala Harris and broke off the affair.

00:52:09.000 But again, the reporters gotta, they gotta do, they are trying so hard to enthusiasm themselves.

00:52:14.000 They're, they're, they're journalism-ing everywhere.

00:52:16.000 Hot sticky journalism getting everywhere.

00:52:18.000 Isaac, Edward Isaac Dovere of CNN, senior reporter, quote, one person familiar with the VP yesterday, Through all her calls at the Naval Observatory, Harris wore a hooded Howard University sweatshirt, workout sweats, and sneakers.

00:52:29.000 Oh my god, she's relatable.

00:52:31.000 She wears casual, casual workout clothes.

00:52:34.000 Wow.

00:52:35.000 They got pizza and salad for dinner.

00:52:36.000 She went with her favorite topping, anchovies.

00:52:38.000 First of all, gross.

00:52:40.000 Second of all, um, who cares? 0.90

00:52:42.000 Who cares?

00:52:43.000 And I understand they're gonna try and make her relatable.

00:52:45.000 They're also going to try to play up her black credentials by reminding us that she went to Howard University. 0.99

00:52:50.000 She went to Howard University in a search to define herself.

00:52:53.000 She says this herself.

00:52:54.000 It's not me.

00:52:55.000 She says that.

00:52:55.000 But they're going to play up the Howard University credentials, again, as part of the intersectional campaign.

00:53:01.000 The media, they are really working this thing.

00:53:04.000 ABC's Deborah Roberts, yesterday, she was out there praising the magic of Kamala Harris.

00:53:09.000 There is no magic to Kamala Harris.

00:53:12.000 It's not a lock.

00:53:13.000 Harris vows to earn this nomination for president, but many are noting that she is poised to possibly shatter that elusive glass ceiling in American politics. 0.99

00:53:23.000 It's a moment that she's become familiar with since the start of her public service career.

00:53:30.000 Wow, she's going to break that glass ceiling. 1.00

00:53:33.000 By failing upward every step of the way.

00:53:36.000 So, who will be her VP candidate?

00:53:38.000 Well, one person we think probably will not be is Josh Shapiro, who is the very popular governor of Pennsylvania.

00:53:43.000 He's moderate.

00:53:45.000 He's pro-Israel.

00:53:46.000 And most of all, he's a Jew. 1.00

00:53:47.000 And let's be real, in the Democratic Party today, can't do that. 0.58

00:53:50.000 Can't do the Jew thing in the Democratic Party today. 1.00

00:53:52.000 That's not me saying that.

00:53:53.000 That's CNN's John King saying that.

00:53:55.000 And amazing how he can just drop a little bit of casual anti-Semitism.

00:53:58.000 Not because, again, It's not John King being anti-Semitic.

00:54:01.000 It's the Democratic Party being anti-Semitic.

00:54:03.000 It also happens to be not the only person saying that.

00:54:07.000 I mean, I've heard from people who are in Congress who are not Republicans who have said the exact same thing.

00:54:12.000 The Democratic Party simply will not accept at this point a Jew in a position of high power like Vice President of the United States. 0.99

00:54:20.000 Here's John King saying just that.

00:54:23.000 Pennsylvania's Governor Josh Shapiro is being discussed as one of Harris' potential running mates.

00:54:26.000 He also endorsed her tonight.

00:54:28.000 In your view, what are the pros and cons for putting him on the ticket?

00:54:31.000 Well, he's certainly under consideration.

00:54:32.000 I know that from key Harris allies.

00:54:34.000 He's a first-term governor.

00:54:35.000 He's Jewish.

00:54:36.000 There could be some risks in putting him on the ticket.

00:54:38.000 But certainly, some of our voters here in Pennsylvania said, hey, we like Governor Shapiro.

00:54:41.000 Give him a look.

00:54:44.000 Are you prepared to take the vice presidency if it's offered, ma'am?

00:54:48.000 No, I'm not planning to go anywhere.

00:54:48.000 want to be anywhere near it. Gretchen Whitmer, who has future presidential hopes herself,

00:54:53.000 she's already dismissing this outright, apparently.

00:55:08.000 I'm proud to be the governor of Michigan.

00:55:10.000 I have been consistent.

00:55:11.000 I know everyone is always suspicious and asking this question over and over again.

00:55:14.000 I know you're doing your job.

00:55:16.000 I'm not going anywhere.

00:55:19.000 That, by the way, is such a telling thing.

00:55:21.000 If she thought that Kamala Harris were going to win, she'd be all over it, right?

00:55:24.000 First all-female ticket. 0.99

00:55:26.000 She'd be somebody who is likely to be the president after Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:55:29.000 She knows Kamala Harris is in serious trouble. 1.00

00:55:31.000 She wants no part of that.

00:55:32.000 Some of the other candidates have been discussed.

00:55:34.000 Mark Kelly, the senator from Arizona.

00:55:35.000 Mark Kelly, again, I have a hard time seeing how he brings much to the ticket.

00:55:40.000 Mark Kelly.

00:55:41.000 It also puts in play a Senate seat in Arizona, again, because Kelly's a pretty popular senator in a very purple state.

00:55:47.000 If Kelly goes, that's going to pave the way to a possibility that Republicans win that Senate seat in the upcoming, in the next election, where he would be eligible, even if she were to win. 0.85

00:55:57.000 There's been some talk about Andy Beshear.

00:55:59.000 Andy Beshear did some TV last night.

00:56:00.000 He's not all that impressive.

00:56:02.000 There's been some talk about Roy Cooper from North Carolina.

00:56:04.000 Again, none of these people are going to radically change the tenor of this particular race.

00:56:08.000 She can't do much to change that.

00:56:09.000 She is a radical and there's nothing Democrats can do about that. 0.97

00:56:12.000 And she's an unpopular radical as well. 1.00

00:56:14.000 And meanwhile, one of the big questions right now is where the hell is Joe Biden?

00:56:18.000 Like really, where is he?

00:56:20.000 So he went missing at the end of last week.

00:56:22.000 And then he announced in a letter on Twitter, not even a press conference, not a statement to the public, not a video, that he would not be running for re-election, which is kind of insane.

00:56:29.000 That's one of the biggest announcements in American political history.

00:56:32.000 When LBJ announced he would not be running for the presidency again in 1968, he did a full-scale televised national address about it.

00:56:40.000 Joe Biden released a PDF of a letter on Twitter in order to say this.

00:56:46.000 And he's been missing ever since.

00:56:48.000 He has not made one public appearance.

00:56:49.000 He has not shown his face.

00:56:51.000 Supposedly, he's going back to the White House today, but they called a lid, so he's not actually going to do anything at the White House.

00:56:56.000 He will not be meeting with Prime Minister, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is coming today.

00:57:00.000 He did not meet him at the plane.

00:57:01.000 He's completely missing.

00:57:02.000 I mean, does he even know that he dropped out of the race at this point?

00:57:06.000 Who knows?

00:57:07.000 Is he even conscious?

00:57:08.000 It's like the movie Dave.

00:57:09.000 He might be in the back room in a coma, for all we know.

00:57:12.000 So he did provide some proof of life.

00:57:15.000 He called into a Kamala Harris campaign rally and sounded like he was on the verge of death.

00:57:20.000 I know yesterday's news is surprising and hard for you to hear, but it was the right thing to do.

00:57:26.000 I know it's hard because you poured your heart and soul into me to help us win this thing, help me get this nomination, help me win the nomination, and then go on to win the presidency.

00:57:41.000 But you know, you're an amazing team, but we've got a great, great, I think we made the right decision.

00:57:46.000 I know how hard you've worked.

00:57:48.000 How many sacrifices you've made.

00:57:50.000 And so many of you, so many of you uprooted your lives for me and the kind of commitment few people make for anything these days, but you made it.

00:57:59.000 And I've been honored and humbled.

00:58:01.000 I mean, this has been the bottom of my heart.

00:58:02.000 My word is abiding for all you've done for me and my family.

00:58:08.000 He's obviously reading from a script right there.

00:58:10.000 Then Kamala gets on the line with Biden.

00:58:12.000 Again, this is not a joint campaign appearance.

00:58:14.000 This is not Biden getting out there holding her hand.

00:58:16.000 She doesn't want to be seen anywhere within a 400-mile radius of Joe Biden because Joe Biden is wildly unpopular.

00:58:20.000 And every picture of Kamala Harris will star Joe Biden from now until the election if the Republicans have their way.

00:58:26.000 Kamala gets on the phone with Biden.

00:58:27.000 Again, this is a campaign event.

00:58:29.000 She gets on the phone with Joe Biden, and man, oof.

00:58:33.000 It is so good to hear our president's voice.

00:58:36.000 Joe, I know you're still on the call, and we've been talking every day.

00:58:41.000 You probably, you guys heard it from Doug's voice.

00:58:43.000 We love Joe and Jill.

00:58:45.000 We really do.

00:58:46.000 They truly are like family to us.

00:58:49.000 And we do everybody here loves.

00:58:52.000 It's mutual.

00:58:54.000 I knew you were still there.

00:58:56.000 You're not going anywhere, Joe.

00:58:58.000 I'm watching you, kid.

00:58:59.000 I'm watching you, kid.

00:59:01.000 I love you.

00:59:01.000 I love you, Joe.

00:59:05.000 Okay.

00:59:05.000 And then she says, thank you, Joe.

00:59:07.000 And he says, no, thank you.

00:59:08.000 And she says, and I have Joe's endorsement.

00:59:11.000 And then he goes, yeah, you sure do.

00:59:14.000 Well, I think that'll quiet some of the rumors.

00:59:17.000 If, uh, if at some point he appears alive, that'd be good.

00:59:20.000 Like, in public.

00:59:21.000 Since he's the president of the United States!

00:59:22.000 He didn't step down from the presidency, guys.

00:59:24.000 He didn't step down from the presidency.

00:59:26.000 He's still the president!

00:59:27.000 Okay, for like another seven months.

00:59:29.000 That dude is the president.

00:59:31.000 And he's gone.

00:59:31.000 You know, locked away somewhere in a hospital room or something.

00:59:35.000 It's amazing.

00:59:36.000 I love that Democrats believe that the best accomplishment that Joe Biden has ever done is stopping his run for presidency.

00:59:41.000 That says a lot about you.

00:59:43.000 If I say about my employees, let's say an employee quits his job, I say, you know what?

00:59:46.000 You are a hero, my friend.

00:59:48.000 The best thing you've ever done is quit this job.

00:59:51.000 That says kind of something about, you know, what I thought of the employee a little bit.

00:59:55.000 But that's what Democrats are doing. 0.96

00:59:56.000 Here's minutes of Democrats gushing over a deposed Biden. 0.95

00:59:59.000 So he sucked when he was running, but now that he's gone, they love him. 0.95

01:00:03.000 Breaking news. 0.98

01:00:04.000 President Biden has just announced that he is ending his re-election bid.

01:00:08.000 We'll all remember where we were and what we were doing at this moment.

01:00:11.000 Him watching the waves at Rehoboth Beach down the street from the boardwalk and the ice cream stand.

01:00:15.000 Joe Biden has been one of the most consequential and transformative presidents this country's ever seen.

01:00:19.000 Excuse me.

01:00:25.000 I'm sorry.

01:00:26.000 What a man.

01:00:27.000 What a patriot.

01:00:28.000 This is leadership.

01:00:30.000 This is patriotism.

01:00:31.000 This is a day for Joe Biden.

01:00:32.000 He can read a poll.

01:00:34.000 He can read a room.

01:00:36.000 He can read a nation.

01:00:37.000 His heart is as big and as true and as strong.

01:00:41.000 He has been a phenomenal president.

01:00:46.000 Just delightful.

01:00:48.000 Just delightful, guys.

01:00:50.000 Again, it's going to be very easy for Republicans to link Kamala Harris to Joe Biden.

01:00:54.000 But one thing they should also point out is that he's currently the president.

01:00:57.000 She can 25th Amendment him at any time. 1.00

01:00:59.000 He's clearly not with it.

01:01:00.000 That means everything that he does, everything he says is on her right now because she actually has something we don't, the capacity to remove him from the office.

01:01:08.000 I can't do it.

01:01:09.000 You can't do it.

01:01:10.000 Kamala Harris and her cabinet can.

01:01:11.000 They ain't doing it.

01:01:12.000 Why?

01:01:13.000 Why?

01:01:13.000 And the answer is because if she were to do that, Then she would lose support among Democrats.

01:01:18.000 It's all political.

01:01:19.000 The only reason Joe Biden is a quote-unquote hero today is not because he stepped down because he's senile.

01:01:23.000 It's because he stepped down because he was losing.

01:01:25.000 It is all political.

01:01:27.000 She's not a hero today because she's good at her job.

01:01:29.000 She's a hero because Democrats are losing.

01:01:33.000 That's all this is.

01:01:34.000 It's all political.

01:01:35.000 And speaking of political, Kamala Harris has now announced that she is not going to attend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress.

01:01:44.000 He's scheduled to address a joint meeting of Congress on Wednesday.

01:01:48.000 Usually, the Vice President, as the head of the Senate, attends such events.

01:01:52.000 She instead is going to stay away from the gathering.

01:01:55.000 An aide to Harris, according to the New York Times, said her absence on Wednesday should not be construed as a change in her commitment to Israel's security, but was merely a conflict with a previously scheduled event in Indianapolis.

01:02:04.000 Yes, but why was it previously scheduled?

01:02:07.000 Why was it previously scheduled?

01:02:09.000 She's scheduled to speak at a convention of Zeta Phi Beta, one of the nation's oldest black sororities.

01:02:14.000 So she can't go to a joint session of Congress for an American ally in a time of war because she has to speak to a frat in Indianapolis.

01:02:22.000 Yeah, that's probably it.

01:02:23.000 It's probably not that she doesn't want to.

01:02:26.000 Alienate her radical pro-Hamas base.

01:02:29.000 Typically, as the New York Times says, the Vice President, as President of the Senate, sits on the House rostrum beside the House Speaker during joint meetings to receive a foreign leader, appearing just behind the visiting dignitary in a tacit show of support and welcome.

01:02:39.000 But this week, Democrats are instead turning to Senator Benjamin Cardin of Maryland, who chairs the Foreign Relations Committee, to sit beside Speaker Mike Johnson and behind Mr. Netanyahu.

01:02:51.000 That is not a particular shock.

01:02:54.000 That is not a particular shock because Ben Cardin happens to be Jewish.

01:02:59.000 His maternal grandfather operated a neighborhood grocery store and his family name was originally Kardonsky.

01:03:05.000 So they found the only democratic senator who's willing to sit behind Bibi Netanyahu because the party has so radically turned against Israel.

01:03:12.000 By the way, that speech is going to be pretty important, especially given the fact that literally today, remember that time that we were told there were lots of moderate Palestinians and they were so moderate and that their moderation is why they should probably have a state because they're so moderate.

01:03:25.000 By the way, quick note for those who want a Palestinian state.

01:03:28.000 70% of people who live in Jordan are Palestinian.

01:03:30.000 They will never hold an election.

01:03:32.000 It will never be a Palestinian state. 0.98

01:03:34.000 You know why?

01:03:34.000 The minute there's an election, they execute the entire Hashemite family.

01:03:38.000 All of them. 1.00

01:03:39.000 They kill all of them and it becomes a terror state. 0.99

01:03:41.000 Like that. 0.99

01:03:42.000 Immediately.

01:03:43.000 And then the West Bank turns into a terror state.

01:03:46.000 That is why there won't be a Palestinian state. 1.00

01:03:48.000 How do we know there won't be a Palestinian state?

01:03:50.000 Because today, Under the auspices of American enemy China, Hamas, Fatah, and all Palestinian faction agreed to end divisions and form a unity government.

01:04:01.000 Remember that time the Palestinian Authority was supposed to be the strong moderating voice against Hamas?

01:04:06.000 They just joined a unity government with Hamas the day before Netanyahu was supposed to speak before Congress.

01:04:12.000 You wonder who the obstacle to peace is in the Middle East?

01:04:15.000 I think it's pretty obvious who the obstacle to peace is in the Middle East.

01:04:18.000 And meanwhile, Donald Trump has been on the campaign trail with J.D.

01:04:21.000 Vance.

01:04:22.000 And he did Fox News last night.

01:04:25.000 Here was President Trump talking about how he thinks that God protected him from being shot, which pretty obviously is true.

01:04:32.000 I mean, if you believe in God, again, it is impossible to watch the videos of that shooting where two bullets pass within centimeters of blowing Donald Trump's head off.

01:04:40.000 and not think that God had something to do with it.

01:04:42.000 Here is Donald Trump saying so.

01:04:44.000 Who would have thought this was going to be happening?

01:04:47.000 But it happened and I got very lucky.

01:04:52.000 Or God.

01:04:52.000 I think it was God, actually.

01:04:54.000 You know who said it was not God?

01:04:57.000 Who?

01:04:57.000 Ron Johnson, senator from Wisconsin, said he gave you that chart of illegal immigration.

01:05:03.000 Well, he's right about that.

01:05:04.000 He actually gave me the chart.

01:05:06.000 If I didn't have that chart, I wouldn't have looked to the right.

01:05:08.000 If I didn't look to the right, a very bad thing would have happened.

01:05:11.000 I wouldn't have been at the convention.

01:05:12.000 I can just about guarantee it.

01:05:16.000 Okay, you know who's one person who speaks for God, though?

01:05:18.000 It's Joy Behar.

01:05:19.000 So Joy Behar of The View, which is where they respect God the most.

01:05:22.000 They love God over at The View.

01:05:23.000 She says it's unchristian to say that God is with you, which is, I mean, I feel like it's a little bit unchristian to not see the hand of God in everything, right?

01:05:30.000 I mean, I'm not a Christian, but I do know enough about Christianity to understand that Christians do believe that God has something to do with the things that go around us.

01:05:38.000 Here we go.

01:05:41.000 I'm speaking to fellow Christians.

01:05:43.000 I was raised Catholic.

01:05:45.000 I'm a Christian girl.

01:05:47.000 When something like this happens to you, like this assassination attempt, and you say something like, God is watching, was watching me, that is a very unchristian thing to say, because it's very narcissistic.

01:05:57.000 What about, what about Cory, what's his name?

01:05:59.000 Uh, uh, Comfortory.

01:06:01.000 Comfortory.

01:06:01.000 The fireman who also died.

01:06:03.000 I don't know.

01:06:03.000 I think it's unchristian.

01:06:04.000 What about all those guys who died?

01:06:07.000 Sandy Hook, all of those people.

01:06:09.000 Oh, God was watching me and not watching them?

01:06:12.000 There's something very disturbing.

01:06:13.000 God should have pulled the plug on that mic yesterday.

01:06:19.000 Wait, God is the technician now?

01:06:21.000 He'll be right back.

01:06:22.000 Yes, he needed one.

01:06:23.000 Oh, these ladies. 1.00

01:06:24.000 They are, they are such geniuses.
