Kamala Harris is a machine politician. She was put into place after winning zero primary votes as vice president because of her intersectional qualities and because she was a Black woman. And then, after three and a half years, she's running for president, and no one asks a single serious question about why she's not running as an incumbent. She's running as a replacement for Joe Biden, who has been in office for 37 days, and yet no serious question is asked about her position. It's time to update the timer on Kamala's time in office, because it's been 37 days since she was appointed to the position of vice president. And it's not because she won the primary, it's because she didn't even get a chance to run for president in 2016, and now she's the front-runner in the Democratic primary for the 2020 Democratic nomination. And yet, no one even bothers to ask her a single question about what she actually is running for? not about who she is, but about who Joe Biden picked to be her replacement, and why she got the job she got it. And why did she get the job, and how did she end up in the position she had in the first place? And why is she running for President? And what will she run for President in 2020? Is she actually running for the office she was chosen to fill? by Joe Biden? Or is she really running for something she s not running for, or is she even running for it at all? or is it just running to be the replacement for someone else? What s she s running to replace Joe Biden or something else ? in place of someone else, or and is she s really running to become the next president of the United States or someone else in a job that bears no mention of her own name in the campaign? in any way? and what s the real name that bears any connection to her name in any of her name at all ? and why does she have a chance at the position that bears her name? at least not a mention in her bio? on the campaign trail? is it really even a thing that bears that label at all, other than Joe Biden s name in her campaign campaign or campaign website? The answer is: it s no longer exists? -- and it s not even a real person? -- and she doesn t exist?

00:00:00.000 Well folks, believe it or not, we are now in the home stretch of the 2024 election.
00:00:04.000 Both the RNC and the DNC have taken place.
00:00:08.000 We are still sort of awaiting word as to how much of a convention bounce Kamala Harris received after the DNC or how much of a reverse bounce Donald Trump then received after RFK Jr.' 's endorsement
00:00:19.000 On Friday, suffice it to say that the race is extremely close.
00:00:22.000 You've seen a little bit of national polling suggesting that Kamala Harris has jumped into a fairly solid lead, six or seven points, but that is not durable polling at this point in time yet.
00:00:31.000 We have to see how everything sort of settles out, how it shakes out.
00:00:34.000 Right now, in the RealClearPolitics polling average, Kamala Harris has about a one and a half point lead. 0.98
00:00:40.000 In the Nate Silver expectation in terms of popularity, which has about a four point lead.
00:00:44.000 In the states, however, this thing is absolutely tight as a tick.
00:00:48.000 We are talking about a dead heat in pretty much every state.
00:00:51.000 The following states are all within two percentage points in the polling average, according to RealClearPolitics.
00:00:56.000 Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Georgia.
00:01:01.000 Remember, just for the sake of the map, in order for Donald Trump to win, he has to win North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and then one of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, or Michigan.
00:01:11.000 That's what he has to win in order to take the presidency back from the Democrats.
00:01:16.000 In order for the Democrats to win, they can lose North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada, as long as they hold Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
00:01:24.000 So again, most of this comes down to the blue wall.
00:01:27.000 If they pick up any of those other states, good indicator that Kamala Harris will in fact be the next president of the United States. 1.00
00:01:33.000 But all of these polls are basically dead heats.
00:01:35.000 Wisconsin is a one point game in favor of Kamala Harris. 0.97
00:01:38.000 Again, that's within margin of error.
00:01:40.000 Pennsylvania is a dead heat.
00:01:41.000 Trump plus point two.
00:01:43.000 Michigan, Harris plus 2.
00:01:45.000 Arizona, Trump plus .2.
00:01:46.000 Nevada, Trump plus 1.4.
00:01:47.000 North Carolina, Trump plus 0.9.
00:01:50.000 And Georgia, Trump plus 1.
00:01:52.000 These are very, very tight numbers.
00:01:54.000 Now, here's the thing.
00:01:55.000 We may have hit the high watermark for Kamala Harris. 1.00
00:01:57.000 This is a point that I was making last week.
00:01:59.000 She has now gone.
00:02:00.000 Gotta update the timer.
00:02:01.000 Gotta update the clock.
00:02:02.000 Here we go.
00:02:02.000 You ready?
00:02:05.000 37 days without answering a single serious question about, you know, defenestrating her boss and then taking over and about the fact she's been vice president for the past three and a half years and why exactly she's not running as the incumbent.
00:02:17.000 Why is she running away from her own record at this point? 0.66
00:02:21.000 37 days, which is absolutely sickening and disgraceful.
00:02:24.000 What we just watched is one of the most jaw-droppingly historic moments in American history where the sitting president and the nominee of a major party is completely supplanted by a person who has won zero, count them, zero primary votes.
00:02:38.000 And then, no one asks a single thing about this person's positions.
00:02:41.000 In fact, they run screaming from having to answer any questions about this person's position.
00:02:46.000 If you want to look at the definition of machine politician, Kamala Harris is a machine politician. 1.00
00:02:50.000 She was literally put into place after winning zero primary votes as vice president because many of the activist members of the Democratic Party base and the Democratic Party honchos decided they were going to elevate Kamala Harris to the position of the vice presidency because of her intersectional qualities, because she was a black woman. 0.99
00:03:07.000 And it's not me that said it, it was Joe Biden that said it.
00:03:10.000 Every time he talked about how historic it was that he had selected her, he was tacitly and not so tacitly saying that he had selected her because of those qualifications.
00:03:18.000 It certainly wasn't because of her massively successful presidential run, where she dropped out so early, she didn't even make it to her home state of California. 0.81
00:03:26.000 Barack Obama, if you'll recall in 2019, was very disappointed at Kamala Harris' performance because he wanted her to be the nominee.
00:03:32.000 He was a Harris ally, not a Biden ally.
00:03:35.000 And then she fell out of favor. 0.58
00:03:36.000 And then Barack Obama sort of put in the final note to Joe Biden to pick Kamala Harris, which, as it turns out, was a horrible move because she then proceeded to backstab him along with Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and all the rest.
00:03:49.000 And the minute, literally the minute that Kamala Harris steps into the race, All the positions are shaken up.
00:03:54.000 All the positions are etch-a-sketched out of existence.
00:03:55.000 They don't exist anymore.
00:03:57.000 She is no longer linked with the administration that bears her name.
00:04:00.000 It's been the Biden-Harris administration since day one.
00:04:03.000 That was a point that Joe Biden publicly made over and over.
00:04:07.000 He would not stop saying Biden-Harris, Biden-Harris, Biden-Harris.
00:04:09.000 And now we are told that not only Is she an amazing politician?
00:04:13.000 Which she is not.
00:04:14.000 We are told she has no responsibility for anything that has happened under the Biden administration.
00:04:19.000 Despite the fact that yes, he did in fact call her his borders are.
00:04:23.000 Despite the fact that she has been involved in supposedly every major foreign policy decision of his presidency.
00:04:31.000 Including the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal where she bragged she was the last person in the room.
00:04:36.000 It turns out that she was also put in charge of the National Space
00:04:39.000 Council.
00:04:40.000 Well, weirdly enough, we now have two astronauts who are literally stuck in space.
00:04:43.000 There is no way to get them back down.
00:04:45.000 So everything she touches is a giant fail.
00:04:48.000 But the machine wants her because all that the machine cares about 0.92
00:04:51.000 is that its positions are forwarded.
00:04:53.000 This is the difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
00:04:55.000 The Republican Party is effectively a bunch of people who get together once every four years. 0.97
00:05:00.000 And then they kind of throw crap against the wall, see what sticks. 0.71
00:05:03.000 There are some primaries. 0.98
00:05:04.000 There's no actual internal organization.
00:05:07.000 There's no Machiavellian moves happening behind the scenes at the RNC.
00:05:10.000 It's kind of a bleep show.
00:05:11.000 That's the reality of the RNC.
00:05:13.000 The DNC is a smoothly oiled machine, and that machine was breaking down because its face was a dead person.
00:05:20.000 The face of the machine was Joe Biden.
00:05:22.000 And so they did what a machine would do.
00:05:24.000 They ousted the dead body and they put in place a fresh new face.
00:05:29.000 And the fresh new face, Kamala Harris, who is not fresh or a new face, she was made into a fresh new face and they promptly infused extraordinary amounts of cash.
00:05:38.000 She has now raised a war chest of $540 million in the last four weeks.
00:05:46.000 $540 million.
00:05:47.000 Now that's not all small donors.
00:05:48.000 That's not all people just getting enthused.
00:05:50.000 That is people who are dumping vast quantities of cash into the campaign.
00:05:56.000 That was people who were holding back because they didn't like Joe Biden.
00:05:58.000 And then they flipped the switch, they put a new face on the machine,
00:06:02.000 same policies, new face, and they infused extraordinary amounts of cash.
00:06:06.000 And now they are lying to you.
00:06:07.000 Now they're pretending that number one, that Joe Biden sort of voluntarily stepped down
00:06:11.000 for the good of the country, which is not true.
00:06:13.000 They defenestrated him.
00:06:14.000 And number two, that Kamala Harris is something new.
00:06:16.000 She is not.
00:06:18.000 She is not something new.
00:06:19.000 She's not.
00:06:20.000 She's the same broken down machine with a new coat of paint.
00:06:24.000 That's all.
00:06:24.000 They didn't replace the engine.
00:06:26.000 They didn't replace any of the computers on board.
00:06:28.000 All they did is they gave it a fresh coat of paint.
00:06:32.000 That's the whole thing.
00:06:33.000 Kamala Harris is the fresh coat of paint on the broken machine that has been running American politics for at least 12 of the last 16 years. 1.00
00:06:41.000 I say at least because Democrats also controlled the Congress since 2006.
00:06:43.000 There's a broken machine running America.
00:06:46.000 Kamala Harris is a fresh coat of paint on that.
00:06:47.000 But here's the thing.

00:07:51.000 So, Gavin Newsom basically admitted as much.
00:07:54.000 Gavin Newsom, governor of California, who's pretty bitter over the fact that Kamala Harris was now put in place, because what he sees is the possibility that she wins.
00:08:01.000 If she wins, he is cut out of presidential politics for the next decade.
00:08:05.000 Because she would serve for four, and then she'd run for four more.
00:08:08.000 So even if she were to lose, that means eight years where Gavin Newsom cannot be the president.
00:08:12.000 And Gavin Newsom, that may be the end of his career, basically.
00:08:17.000 So he's pretty bitter about this.
00:08:18.000 He kind of lets that out of the bag.
00:08:20.000 Well, on Pod Save America.
00:08:24.000 How are you feeling about the switch?
00:08:25.000 I mean, the switch.
00:08:27.000 Now we went through a very open process, a very inclusive process.
00:08:31.000 I was bottom up.
00:08:33.000 I don't know if you know that.
00:08:34.000 Yes, that's what I've been told to say.
00:08:35.000 Yes, it was a blitz primary, I believe that's what they called it.
00:08:39.000 It was a very, very fast blitz.
00:08:40.000 I think it was a blink primary, so we call that.
00:08:43.000 A 30-minute convention between a tweet and another tweet.
00:08:48.000 It's amazing how it happened.
00:08:49.000 Yeah, it's been amazing.
00:08:50.000 But what is amazing is how unified everybody is.
00:08:53.000 in his next level.
00:08:54.000 Okay, they say it all in that clip.
00:08:56.000 That clip is everything.
00:08:57.000 They're all openly laughing.
00:08:59.000 They're openly laughing.
00:09:00.000 They understand what they just did.
00:09:02.000 They pulled a switch because the machine must be maintained at all costs.
00:09:05.000 By the way, this is why Democrats typically are very happy with their party.
00:09:08.000 Because Democrats get most of what they want from their party.
00:09:11.000 What they want from their party is a continuous move to the left.
00:09:14.000 And they always get it.
00:09:15.000 Republicans are never happy with their party because the best that Republicans typically do at the federal governmental level is stop more bad stuff from happening.
00:09:23.000 But they very rarely reverse course.
00:09:25.000 They very rarely change the nature of American politics.
00:09:29.000 Now, Donald Trump did do some of those things.
00:09:30.000 Donald Trump put in place Supreme Court justices who have taken away some of the ugly precedent put in place by Democrat-appointed justices.
00:09:37.000 That's why the Democrats are so fighting mad at the Supreme Court and now want to stack it and destroy its power. 0.90
00:09:42.000 But typically speaking, Republicans are very unhappy with their party and typically speaking, Democrats are very happy with their party because the Democratic Party is a machine and the Republican Party is basically a very dysfunctional social group.
00:09:53.000 So they supplant Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket. 1.00
00:09:56.000 They dump money.
00:09:56.000 I mean, we are talking about dump trucks filled with money arriving at the doorstep of the Kamala Harris campaign that day.
00:10:04.000 Big donors coming in.
00:10:05.000 All these people who say that they hate billionaires, that the billionaires aren't the billionaires.
00:10:08.000 Who do you think is paying those bills? 0.99
00:10:09.000 You think it's Bob in Ohio and his $5 donation that's making up the $540 million money dump?
00:10:17.000 The giant money bomb, the atomic money bomb that was just exploded on the Harris campaign?
00:10:22.000 You think that that is Jill, the suburban mom in Peoria?
00:10:25.000 Is that what you think?
00:10:26.000 That's not what's going on.
00:10:28.000 The Democrats held back, they starved out Joe Biden, and then once they had besieged Joe Biden's campaign, and he was starved inside the city with no water and no food, then he surrendered, and then they flooded the place with all sorts of aid for the new queen of the May, Kamala Harris.
00:10:44.000 Now, all of this relies on them having to hide what the machine does.
00:10:48.000 Again, they have to pretend that Kamala Harris is something new.
00:10:50.000 The problem, of course, is that Kamala Harris is nothing new. 1.00
00:10:52.000 We know exactly how she will govern.
00:10:55.000 The giant asymmetry in this campaign, Is that Donald Trump, he says a lot of weird things.
00:11:00.000 He says a lot of things that are vague.
00:11:02.000 Positionally, if you just looked at his rhetoric, you might have no idea where he is on various issues, ranging from, say, abortion to tax policy.
00:11:10.000 And Donald Trump has always been very vague.
00:11:12.000 The thing is, we all know how he's going to govern.
00:11:14.000 We all know.
00:11:15.000 He was already president once.
00:11:17.000 And so the safe assumption is Trump 2 will look a lot like Trump 1.
00:11:22.000 Now, there's another safe assumption, which is that Kamala 1 will look very much like Biden 1.
00:11:26.000 Why?
00:11:28.000 Because she's the current Vice President of the United States in on every major decision according to her.
00:11:34.000 According to her.
00:11:34.000 So, whatever she says, it's what she does that matters.
00:11:37.000 But we are now being told the greatest lie of all, which is that we are not to pay any attention to her statements about her positions in 2019-2020.
00:11:44.000 Those are of no matter.
00:11:45.000 Those are of no consequence.
00:11:46.000 She can jettison those freely. 0.87
00:11:48.000 Those matter nothing.
00:11:49.000 They're gone.
00:11:50.000 They don't exist.
00:11:50.000 Also, we cannot hold her accountable for the administration in which she is currently the Vice President of the United States.
00:11:56.000 We can't.
00:11:57.000 We don't know what she would do as president. 1.00
00:11:59.000 I mean, sure, she's the vice president right now.
00:12:01.000 Sure, she says she has been involved in every aspect of the Biden administration.
00:12:05.000 Sure, she's on foreign policy calls with the president of the United States, like right now, in the public readout.
00:12:10.000 But we are supposed to believe she has nothing to do with the Biden administration.
00:12:14.000 Biden-Harris, the Harris- It's gone.
00:12:16.000 So she wants it both ways.
00:12:17.000 She wants the prestige of the VP nomination and the prestige of the VP slot without any of the actual responsibility that goes with being part of the administration.
00:12:26.000 So according to this math, Kamala Harris is an absolutely blank slate.
00:12:32.000 Kamala Harris is not the machine.
00:12:33.000 She's not a fresh coat of paint on the machine.
00:12:35.000 She's just something brand new and she is the party.
00:12:38.000 Now, all of this relies on them hiding Kamala Harris.
00:12:41.000 As we say, 37 days, no interviews.
00:12:44.000 Now, she is deigning, apparently, to do an interview at the end of the week.
00:12:46.000 NBC News has announced that she will do an interview sometime this week.
00:12:50.000 We have no idea what it's going to be.
00:12:51.000 We have no idea who it's going to be with.
00:12:53.000 We have no idea what it's going to constitute.
00:12:54.000 But sometime this week, she may do an interview.
00:12:57.000 Well, shouldn't we all just be excited?
00:12:59.000 We're now 40 days into the campaign.
00:13:01.000 Understand how unbelievable this is and how insulting and gross it is.
00:13:05.000 This is a democracy where we are supposed to be able to vote on the basis of the prospective policies of the candidates.
00:13:11.000 We are not supposed to be given a face, and then we are supposed to sort of just guess at what the face thinks.
00:13:16.000 That's not how this works.
00:13:17.000 That's how dictatorships work, is that it doesn't matter what the person's policies are.
00:13:21.000 You worship Big Brother.
00:13:22.000 But this is not exactly how you're supposed to do democratically run elections, is that you're supposed to guess at their positions.
00:13:28.000 But that's precisely what they've done.
00:13:30.000 And understand, the whole point in delaying this is to make sure that no one knows her positions when they go to the polls.
00:13:36.000 That is the entire point here.
00:13:39.000 North Carolina starts mailing out its mail-in ballots in 11 days.
00:13:43.000 11.
00:13:44.000 Okay, the election isn't until November 5th, but half the votes are gonna be mail-in votes, and those mail-in votes are gonna start getting sent in in the next two weeks.
00:13:53.000 Two weeks! 0.95
00:13:55.000 Which means all they gotta do is hide this crap for another month, and they're good. 0.97
00:13:58.000 In fact, Kamala Harris is now attempting Kamala wants to change those debate rules. 1.00
00:14:04.000 of the debate to which she has agreed with President Trump, she wants to now change the
00:14:08.000 rules.
00:14:10.000 She's come out of the woodwork to explain that she actually wants the mics to be hot. 0.99
00:14:15.000 Kamala wants to change those debate rules. 1.00

00:15:21.000 So you remember, back when Joe Biden was the actual nominee, and then he had a debate with President Trump, and then he completely fell apart during the debate.
00:15:27.000 Well, one of the rules that Joe Biden wanted was that the mics would be muted.
00:15:30.000 And presumably he wanted that because he was afraid that Trump was going to slip in some sort of jab or punch while he was unable to talk.
00:15:36.000 So now, in the second debate, those rules had already been set.
00:15:40.000 Now, the Harris campaign is trying to switch the rules again.
00:15:43.000 According to Politico, with just 15 days left until the scheduled September 10th presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, negotiations between their two campaigns have hit an impasse over whether the candidates' microphones will be muted when it is not their turn to speak, according to four people familiar with the issue.
00:16:00.000 Why?
00:16:01.000 Because Kamala Harris wants the mics to be hot. 1.00
00:16:02.000 Why does she want the mics to be hot? 1.00
00:16:03.000 Why?
00:16:04.000 Well, she is betting, number one, that Trump won't be able to contain himself, that Trump will find a way to talk over her, and then she will be able to do the, I'm talking.
00:16:12.000 She did that against Mike Pence, if you recall, back in 2020.
00:16:14.000 They were debating.
00:16:15.000 He didn't really interrupt her.
00:16:17.000 She jumped in to pretend that she was being victimized because she's a woman. 1.00
00:16:20.000 It was the most pathetic, ridiculous routine. 1.00
00:16:21.000 She's going to try that again. 1.00
00:16:23.000 I'm talking here, Donald.
00:16:25.000 I'm talking here, Mr. President.
00:16:29.000 She's gonna do that routine to pretend she's a victim. 1.00
00:16:31.000 And so she wants that, if the rules are as they currently are, she can't do that.
00:16:35.000 She wants that back on the table. 0.81
00:16:36.000 Two, she wants to be able to interrupt Trump.
00:16:39.000 Because she wishes for her ability, along with the media, to jump in and quote-unquote fact-check him in real time to get under his skin.
00:16:47.000 That's the entire goal.
00:16:48.000 So according to Politico, Brian Fallon, the Harris' campaign senior advisor for communications,
00:16:53.000 says, quote, we have told ABC and other networks seeking to host a possible October debate.
00:16:57.000 We believe both candidates' mics should be live throughout the full broadcast.
00:17:00.000 Our understanding is that Trump's handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don't think
00:17:03.000 their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own.
00:17:06.000 We suspect Trump's team has not even told their boss about this dispute because it would be too embarrassing to admit they don't think he can handle himself against Vice President Harris without the benefit of a mute button.
00:17:15.000 Privately, the Veeps team believes Harris can get Trump to lose his cool and say something impolitic on the mic.
00:17:19.000 But here's the reality.
00:17:21.000 They are now changing the rules.
00:17:22.000 Jason Miller, senior advisor for Trump, told Playboy, quote, enough with the games.
00:17:26.000 We accepted the ABC debate under the exact same terms as the CNN debate.
00:17:29.000 The Harris camp, after already having agreed to the CNN rules, asked for a seated debate with notes and opening statements.
00:17:35.000 We said no changes to the agreed upon rules.
00:17:36.000 So she wanted to be seated because Trump is taller than she is.
00:17:40.000 And they wanted notes because Kamala Harris, off her notes, is a disaster area. 1.00
00:17:44.000 So they want to change all the rules.
00:17:45.000 So again, the whole goal here is to change all the rules, and they're hoping that if the negotiations break down, there won't be any debates at all, which would be her ideal.
00:17:52.000 She wants no debates.
00:17:53.000 She never wants to be fact-checked.
00:17:54.000 She never wants to be asked a simple question.
00:17:57.000 The entire Trump campaign, at this point, should be the following six words.
00:18:01.000 So why didn't you do it?
00:18:04.000 Every time she says she wants to do something, the answer from Trump should be, so why didn't you do it?
00:18:09.000 You say that you want to secure the border.
00:18:11.000 So why didn't you do it?
00:18:12.000 You say you wanted to bring down inflation.
00:18:14.000 So why didn't you do it?
00:18:15.000 You say you want to make housing cheaper.
00:18:17.000 So why didn't you do it?
00:18:18.000 You're the vice president of the United States.
00:18:21.000 That's the point.
00:18:21.000 He needs to say that over and over and over.
00:18:24.000 Why didn't you do it?
00:18:25.000 Because he did.
00:18:26.000 He was the president.
00:18:27.000 And you can look at his record and you can look at her record.
00:18:30.000 But again, the entire goal here is to obscure her record and pretend that she doesn't exist.
00:18:34.000 She only exists as a concept.
00:18:37.000 So, the other day, this is just beautiful Kamala Harrison.
00:18:41.000 So she is asked a question, what are you going to do next?
00:18:44.000 Like, where are you going? 0.99
00:18:45.000 And she says, I'm gonna walk up these stairs, and you're gonna get this crap for her entire presidency. 1.00
00:18:52.000 She's gonna be asked a question, and then she's going to describe the next thing she does. 0.95
00:18:55.000 She's gonna be at a press conference about what's going on in Ukraine.
00:18:59.000 So what are you going to do next?
00:19:00.000 She's gonna be like, I'm gonna breathe in, and breathe out, and then breathe in, and then breathe out, and then I'm gonna walk out this door.
00:19:10.000 Here we go.
00:19:12.000 If you didn't walk up the stairs, there's the crazy laugh.
00:19:21.000 And then what?
00:19:21.000 Win.
00:19:22.000 We're gonna win.
00:19:23.000 Unbo- That's the entire campaign.
00:19:25.000 That's the entire campaign.
00:19:27.000 And then Doug Emhoff repeats, we're gonna win.
00:19:30.000 Honestly, if I have to see more of these sitcom dads as part of the Harris campaign, between Doug Emhoff and Tim Walz, the sitcom dad energy, the I'm-a-dumb-male-who's-following-around-females-and-it's-the-same-energy-that-you-got-from-every-sitcom-of-the-1990s-where-every-father-was-a-dullard-and-every-mother-was-a-genius, if we have to do this energy, oh my god, it's just interminable.
00:19:50.000 It's awful.
00:19:51.000 Meanwhile, Harris's deputy campaign manager, Quentin Foulkes, he was asked, so when is she going to sit down?
00:19:56.000 He says, on her own time, on her own schedule.
00:19:59.000 Do you understand the disdain in which they hold the American public?
00:20:01.000 The absolute, utter disdain.
00:20:03.000 She does not have to give you her positions.
00:20:05.000 You can't hold her accountable for the actual things she did as vice president.
00:20:09.000 You can't hold her accountable for her 2020 positions.
00:20:12.000 She will tell you when she is good and ready.
00:20:14.000 When she descends from the palace, When she walks down that red carpet, then she will tell you in her own good time, how dare you question Queen K. How dare you? 1.00
00:20:29.000 When will she sit down with the media in a one-on-one capacity and answer our questions? 0.88
00:20:37.000 I think she'll sit down on her time.
00:20:39.000 Look, as you mentioned, this is a truncated time frame.
00:20:42.000 We have made sure that we were getting out talking to voters.
00:20:45.000 I think people forget just how short of a time frame it has been.
00:20:51.000 Unbelievable.
00:20:52.000 In their own time.
00:20:54.000 They hate you.
00:20:54.000 Do you understand?
00:20:55.000 They hate you.
00:20:56.000 They don't want you to know what she's gonna do or what she's done.
00:20:59.000 They want you to know nothing about her.
00:21:02.000 They don't want you to know any of Kamala Harris's positions. 0.77
00:21:05.000 It's very important that you not know Kamala Harris's.
00:21:08.000 Positions.
00:21:08.000 Which means that it's easier for her to win.
00:21:10.000 But there's an easy way for you to win.
00:21:11.000 That is prize picks.

00:22:21.000 You're better off being a cipher of a candidate who no one knows than actually stating your positions. 1.00
00:22:27.000 And so they understand that.
00:22:28.000 So their entire goal is to hide her.
00:22:31.000 Here, by the way, are a bunch of prominent Democrats saying that openly.
00:22:33.000 This is back at the DNC, saying, no, there's no way.
00:22:36.000 We shouldn't release her policies before the election.
00:22:37.000 Why?
00:22:38.000 Why should Americans know what she's going to do? 0.90
00:22:40.000 It's like the world's worst mystery meat in high school cafeteria.
00:22:45.000 I've often heard from many voters looking for white papers than policy papers.
00:22:48.000 What they want to hear is what her vision is for this country.
00:22:51.000 The American people don't vote on policy prescriptions.
00:22:54.000 I actually think the way the American people think about this choice is less about the minutiae of policy and more about the direction of the country, number one.
00:23:03.000 And secondly, about the person.
00:23:06.000 Character, it does matter.
00:23:09.000 This is absolutely absurd.
00:23:11.000 It's absolutely absurd.
00:23:12.000 Her vision and her character.
00:23:14.000 Okay, but what's her vision?
00:23:15.000 Her vision, we're told, is forward.
00:23:18.000 Whoa! 0.71
00:23:19.000 What a vision!
00:23:20.000 Forward?
00:23:21.000 Whoa, you mean not backwards, sideways, up or down?
00:23:23.000 Like, whoa!
00:23:24.000 You mean like in time?
00:23:26.000 That's crazy!
00:23:27.000 I mean, sure, we are all moving forward through time.
00:23:30.000 I mean, we've been told by her about the significance of the passage of time.
00:23:37.000 We've been told all of that.
00:23:39.000 So yeah, we know, forward.
00:23:40.000 Forward. 1.00
00:23:43.000 They think you're a moron. 1.00
00:23:43.000 They do. 1.00
00:23:44.000 They think you're a moron. 1.00
00:23:46.000 Maybe you are, I don't know, but they think you're stupid. 1.00
00:23:49.000 Meanwhile, Cory Booker is out there, the... Cory Booker, senator from New Jersey and Potato Head, who occasionally puts on his angry eyes. 1.00
00:23:59.000 Anyway, Cory Booker, he's out there saying, I don't even know where these claims are coming from that she's vague about her positions.
00:24:04.000 I mean, she's not... They're trying to drive you insane. 0.99
00:24:07.000 They're trying to drive you insane.
00:24:11.000 I don't understand where this so-called vagary comes from.
00:24:14.000 She released a pretty specific detailed plan on a lot of her economic agenda, whether it's about trying to do specific things like with tax credits and more to create more housing and to help to create more supply and thus lower the cost of housing. 0.95
00:24:29.000 She created, she let out specific plans.
00:24:34.000 Unbelievable.
00:24:35.000 Unbelievable.
00:24:36.000 By the way, it's working.
00:24:37.000 It's working, by the way.
00:24:39.000 There's a brand new poll out showing, a Redfield poll, showing where Democrats are on the issues.
00:24:46.000 Democrats on the issues are now at only, they're only at minus two on immigration.
00:24:54.000 How did that happen?
00:24:55.000 They're down 20.
00:24:56.000 And the answer is constantly repeating propaganda.
00:24:59.000 Meanwhile, every so often, they let the mask slip.
00:25:01.000 So, for example, Representative Summer Lee, who's a full-on radical from Pennsylvania, she's like, nah, I think she's gonna be kind of radical.
00:25:07.000 I actually don't think that she's gonna be a centrist.
00:25:10.000 I know you are a progressive Democrat.
00:25:13.000 Do you think that this pivot to the center, particularly on issues like the border and immigration and crime, are they going to hurt support for the Harris-Walz ticket, or is it what's required?
00:25:30.000 Yeah.
00:25:30.000 So I have to say, and I'd like to hope that we're able to do this, I have to disagree a bit.
00:25:36.000 I think that we have data, we have polling, we have anecdotal evidence from Americans all over the country, but especially out in Pennsylvania, in a swing state, where we're not actually asking for our candidates to run away from progressive ideals.
00:25:50.000 We're asking for them to run to them.
00:25:54.000 So the dirty secret is she is going to govern as a far leftist. 1.00
00:25:57.000 Of course she is.
00:25:58.000 That is what she wants to do.
00:25:59.000 That's what Joe Biden has done. 0.99
00:26:01.000 Now, the reason they have to obscure all of that is that their policies are trash. 0.97
00:26:04.000 So, for example, you recall that just in the last couple of weeks, She had her AIDS and then she actually trotted out a proposal to end inflation by targeting price gouging. 0.95
00:26:14.000 Price gouging does not exist in the grocery industry. 0.99
00:26:16.000 This is trash. 1.00
00:26:17.000 It's stupid. 1.00
00:26:18.000 The actual profit margin in the grocery industry is somewhere between one and two percent. 1.00
00:26:22.000 This notion that somewhere in the back room, The folks over at Ralph's and at Publix are gathering together to jack up the price of a loaf of bread to a hundred bucks is absurd. 0.96
00:26:33.000 It's ridiculous. 1.00
00:26:34.000 It's unbelievably stupid. 1.00
00:26:35.000 But here are Democrats who endorsed her price gouging plans because this is the way that it works. 1.00
00:26:39.000 She says something dumb, the entire Democratic Party then rushes to defend it.
00:26:44.000 What do you think of the price-gouging ban that you put out there? 0.97
00:26:48.000 Republicans are saying they're price-controlled.
00:26:50.000 What would be your answer?
00:26:52.000 No, they're not price-controlled.
00:26:54.000 Take a look at the profit margins and the median food cost.
00:26:57.000 What would be your take on that?
00:26:59.000 I think what Kamala's trying to say, and what she has said basically, is how do we deal with the issues of inflation?
00:27:05.000 And how do we keep food prices down?
00:27:07.000 We've made great progress on inflation.
00:27:09.000 Yeah, it's not price controls.
00:27:10.000 I mean, actually, it was a Republican idea.
00:27:12.000 Wage and price controls goes back to Richard Nixon.
00:27:15.000 This is not that.
00:27:18.000 Look at them trying to spin it.
00:27:19.000 They're trying to spin it.
00:27:19.000 They're trying to spin the price gouging.
00:27:21.000 No, well, yeah, we totally endorse what she says. 0.99
00:27:23.000 I mean, it's really stupid, but we endorse what she says. 0.98
00:27:25.000 I mean, they're just trying to get inflation under control. 0.99
00:27:27.000 Democrats are trying to spin Kamala Harris's price gouging plans. 0.99
00:27:30.000 In fact, if they were going to create a bumper sticker for her price gouging plan, well, they wouldn't do that because that would be really stupid. 0.90
00:27:36.000 But if you are looking to wear your beliefs on your sleeve, well, the best place to do that is sticker mule. 0.69
00:27:42.000 Wearing your beliefs on your sleeve isn't just a metaphor anymore.
00:27:44.000 It's a radical act of free speech.

00:27:48.000 We've seen it happen a lot.

00:28:37.000 Here is the problem.
00:28:38.000 The minute they actually get called on the policies, they fall apart.
00:28:40.000 So, Senator Elizabeth Warren.
00:28:42.000 Elizabeth Warren is just an amazingly tragic story of what happens when an interesting person goes into politics. 0.68
00:28:47.000 Because Elizabeth Warren, if you go all the way back to the early 2000s, she wrote a book called The Two Income Trap, which is kind of fascinating, in which she, for example, suggested there should not be universal pre-K.
00:28:57.000 In which she suggested school vouchers.
00:28:59.000 And then she decided to run for senator from Massachusetts and run as female Bernie Sanders. 1.00
00:29:04.000 And she's been doing that ever since, while also pretending to be Native American, of course. 1.00
00:29:07.000 Well, she was questioned on CNBC about her price-gouging proposals, which of course are incredibly stupid. 1.00
00:29:15.000 And here is CNBC's Joe Kernan just ripping her up. 0.99
00:29:19.000 It's not good policy, and it could actually do more harm than good.
00:29:24.000 And I can paint you a picture of how that would work and how it's worked in the past, where we've tried to artificially hold prices down.
00:29:32.000 Competition doesn't come in.
00:29:34.000 People don't, like if beef is too high, people don't move the chicken.
00:29:38.000 The competitors don't come in to undercut where the beef prices are.
00:29:41.000 Nothing works when you try to artificially control prices.
00:29:46.000 It's just a supply and demand issue.
00:29:48.000 It's a flawed idea.
00:29:50.000 So did you have a question here?
00:29:52.000 Yes.
00:29:52.000 Why would you propose a flawed idea when the real problem... So let me ask you a question.
00:29:56.000 If you really want to help the middle class, if you really sincerely want to help people having trouble at the grocery store, it's not price gouging that's the issue.
00:30:04.000 Okay, this is the problem. 0.92
00:30:07.000 Every time they mention a policy, every time they mention a policy, it turns out the policy is trash.
00:30:13.000 She has also promoted the idea that we should hand out, for example, $25,000 per first-time house purchaser, which inflates the price of housing.
00:30:21.000 Here's Chuck Schumer defending that.
00:30:24.000 Senator Schumer, what's your message to Gen Z?
00:30:26.000 Gen Z, Harris understands, Walls understands your problems.
00:30:31.000 Down payment for a house, $25,000.
00:30:33.000 All the folks who can afford the monthly payment but can't afford the down payment, we're coming to help you.
00:30:41.000 Free money.
00:30:42.000 Free money.
00:30:42.000 That's the campaign platform.
00:30:43.000 Don't worry, it's not going to cause inflation.
00:30:45.000 Free money.
00:30:47.000 Meanwhile, it turns out that if you actually hold her accountable for her own position on, say, Afghanistan, that's bad too.
00:30:52.000 She cannot be linked with her positions.
00:30:54.000 The minute that you link together the machine positions of the Democratic Party with the fresh coat of paint, She's got a problem, which is why she's avoiding all of this.
00:31:02.000 Here's Representative Pat Ryan, Democrat from New York.
00:31:04.000 He's asked about the fact that she says she was the last person in the room when it came to the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the disastrous withdrawal.
00:31:10.000 Pat Ryan had ripped into that withdrawal and he has asked, so do you hold her responsible?
00:31:15.000 Watch him spin.
00:31:17.000 The vice president says she was that last person in the room on that decision.
00:31:21.000 Is that failure also hers?
00:31:23.000 We've got to stop assigning partisan blame on fundamental things like national security.
00:31:30.000 I said it as an American.
00:31:31.000 I said it as somebody who served in combat, who had friends that served in Afghanistan, if we can't make mistakes and
00:31:39.000 wrestle with that with a little bit of space to do better in the future, how do we expect to
00:31:44.000 continue on the next 250 years as this great country that we are? 0.99
00:31:49.000 It's just pathetic. 0.76
00:31:51.000 Again, the minute they're called on their positions, they have to either reverse the position or they have to spin like crazy, which is why Kamala doesn't want to answer any questions whatsoever. 0.97
00:32:00.000 For example, Bernie Sanders yesterday, he is asked about the fact that suddenly Kamala Harris is strong on the border.
00:32:04.000 What the hell happened?
00:32:05.000 What the hell happened?
00:32:06.000 We had three and a half years of wide open borders and you guys talking about decriminalizing border crossings.
00:32:11.000 Kamala Harris, when she was a senator, voted against federal law preventing sanctuary cities and sanctuary states.
00:32:16.000 Kamala Harris, while she was Vice President, openly talked about decriminalizing border crossings. 0.95
00:32:20.000 And here is Vice President Harris now.
00:32:23.000 She's now switched her position.
00:32:24.000 Now she's a border hawk, if you watch her commercials. 1.00
00:32:27.000 Not only is she a border hawk, she shows herself with Trump's border wall.
00:32:30.000 Bernie Sanders is asked about this.
00:32:31.000 Watch him spin.
00:32:33.000 We have a crisis at the border.
00:32:35.000 We've got to make sure the fentanyl does not get into this country.
00:32:38.000 We have to crack down on illegal immigration.
00:32:40.000 But what we need is comprehensive immigration reform.
00:32:44.000 I mean, you've got God knows how many young people in this country, as a result of DACA, who deserve to gain citizenship.
00:32:50.000 We need skilled workers, and we need workers in this country.
00:32:53.000 A lot of labor shortages all over America where immigrants can play an important role.
00:32:57.000 So keeping people from illegally entering the country obviously is the right thing to do. 1.00
00:33:04.000 Wow, now it's the right thing to do.
00:33:06.000 Look at that, they all just flipped their position.
00:33:07.000 Well, the good news for the Democrats, they can always count on the media to cover for everything.
00:33:13.000 For literally everything.
00:33:14.000 It's amazing.
00:33:15.000 So, the media have been treated like dogs.
00:33:19.000 I mean, literally like dogs at this point.
00:33:20.000 Like, they're being patted on the head by the Kamala Harris team.
00:33:23.000 They're being fed treats, but not very often. 0.98
00:33:26.000 And now, they're lap dogs.
00:33:27.000 They're absolute lap dogs. 0.99
00:33:28.000 It's unbelievable. 0.99
00:33:30.000 So, they've done, again, zero interviews, 37 days and counting.
00:33:34.000 And now NBC News is excited to announce she will do an interview at some point with someone and it will be a joint interview with Tim Walz.
00:33:41.000 By the way, the whole point of a joint interview with Tim Walz is so she's never pressed on anything.
00:33:45.000 That's the whole point.
00:33:46.000 He's the human shield in these interviews. 0.96
00:33:49.000 By the way, Tim Walz, what a weirdo.
00:33:51.000 Every picture of him looks as though he just got a Price Waterhouse clearing check.
00:33:56.000 It's like, it's really unbelievable.
00:33:58.000 Here we go.
00:33:58.000 Here's NBC News.
00:34:00.000 Harris and Walz are also slated to sit down for their first joint interview next week after mounting pressure on Harris to lay out more of her policy positions.
00:34:09.000 And while it's still not clear who the sit-down will be with and when, the interview no doubt provides an opportunity for the new standard-bearer of the Democratic Party to prove her doubters wrong.
00:34:20.000 She's gonna prove her daughter's wrong.
00:34:21.000 Don't worry.
00:34:21.000 She's not gonna prove anything.
00:34:23.000 She's gonna sit down with a friendly. 1.00
00:34:24.000 They're all friendlies.
00:34:25.000 How friendly?
00:34:26.000 Let me show you this.
00:34:28.000 This is amazing.
00:34:28.000 So, Tom Cotton, Senator from Arkansas.
00:34:31.000 He's on ABC News.
00:34:33.000 And he's talking with John Carl.
00:34:34.000 And John Carl, Cotton says to him, you know that she wanted to ban private health insurance.
00:34:38.000 You know this, right?
00:34:40.000 He is correct.
00:34:41.000 Let me just show you the footage before we even get to the clip.
00:34:43.000 Here's the footage from 2019 of Kamala Harris saying she would ban private health insurance.
00:34:47.000 For people out there who like their insurance, they don't get to keep it?
00:34:51.000 Well, listen, the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care.
00:34:55.000 And you don't have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require.
00:35:04.000 Who of us has not had that situation where you've got to wait for approval and the doctor says, well, I don't know if your insurance company is going to cover this?
00:35:11.000 Let's eliminate all of that.
00:35:13.000 Let's move on.
00:35:15.000 That's what she said in 2019.
00:35:16.000 Fast forward.
00:35:17.000 Five years later.
00:35:17.000 John Carl's supposed to know things, right?
00:35:19.000 He's supposed to.
00:35:20.000 He's on ABC News.
00:35:21.000 He's a reporter.
00:35:22.000 Tom Cotton points out that she wanted to be on private health insurance. 0.85
00:35:25.000 Watch John Carl move in front of her like a secret service agent.
00:35:29.000 Much better than the secret service agents who protected Trump, by the way.
00:35:33.000 President Trump is going to draw a sharp contrast with Kamala Harris, who has supported things like decriminalizing illegal immigration, or giving taxpayer-funded health insurance to illegal aliens, or taking away health insurance on the job for 170 million Americans, banning gas cars, confiscating firearms.
00:35:52.000 What do you mean taking away health insurance?
00:35:54.000 What are you talking about?
00:35:54.000 She said when she ran for president that she wants to eliminate private health insurance on the job of 170 million Americans, John.
00:36:00.000 Yeah, I mean, that is not her position now.
00:36:02.000 How do you know that's not her position?
00:36:04.000 How do you know that's not her position?
00:36:05.000 I mean, she says she supports Medicare for All.
00:36:08.000 She has not said that.
00:36:11.000 And Tom Cotton is totally right.
00:36:12.000 But John Carl's swiveling to the defense.
00:36:14.000 This is the beauty of that Democrat media human centipede.
00:36:17.000 It's amazing.
00:36:18.000 They don't even have to give them a position, and the Democrats will just feed whatever. 1.00
00:36:22.000 They don't have to give the media a position, and the media will just start spinning for them.
00:36:25.000 It's absolutely unbelievable.
00:36:26.000 We'll get to more of that in a moment.
00:36:29.000 The Daily Wire's very first theatrical release, Am I Racist?
00:36:31.000 It's hitting theaters September 13th.
00:36:33.000 It has already more than doubled the number of theaters nationwide since we first announced it.
00:36:37.000 Why?
00:36:37.000 Because you guys went out and purchased tickets.
00:36:39.000 Your advanced ticket purchases have been driving all of this momentum.
00:36:42.000 Every ticket sold in theaters already carrying the film pushes it into more theaters across the country, and it's working.
00:36:47.000 Matt Walsh, alongside the same team that dismantled leftist gender theory in What Is A Woman, they're back, this time taking on the absurd world of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
00:36:55.000 What Matt exposes in this film is both hilariously absurd and deeply infuriating.
00:36:58.000 The response has been incredible so far.
00:37:00.000 We can't stop now.
00:37:00.000 If Am I Racist is playing in a theater near you, please go to amiracist.com.
00:37:05.000 Secure your advance tickets today.
00:37:06.000 This is how we ensure this movie reaches as many theaters across America as possible.
00:37:10.000 Again, that's amiracist.com.
00:37:12.000 Okay, meanwhile, it must be glorious being a Democrat.
00:37:15.000 Because it is amazing how fast they swivel away from the actual stories the minute it is damaging to their actual agenda.
00:37:20.000 Remember, they would not cover Joe Biden being senile until it was made perfectly apparent to the entire American public that he was in fact senile.
00:37:27.000 Then they did three weeks of stories about how he was senile.
00:37:29.000 They drove him from the race. 0.83
00:37:31.000 They went back to covering nothing about Joe Biden.
00:37:35.000 Mentioning zero things about Jermaine.
00:37:36.000 He's actually a sacrificial old man, a self-sacrificing old man. 0.93
00:37:40.000 And Kamala Harris, who they covered for years as what she was, a complete incompetent and utter dullard, they are now covering as though she is the great light bringer. 0.82
00:37:48.000 It's incredible. 0.53
00:37:49.000 So, for example, here is ABC News fawning over Kamala saying she's not a progressive.
00:37:55.000 Did you know that?
00:37:56.000 She's the most liberal senator in the United States Senate. 1.00
00:37:58.000 She's backed every far-left position she can find.
00:38:01.000 She's not a progressive.
00:38:02.000 She's not, according to ABC News.
00:38:04.000 The same network, by the way, that's supposed to broadcast the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
00:38:11.000 And when you look at Kamala Harris' speech, it really seems like it was directed at moderates, at independents, even Republicans.
00:38:17.000 Yeah, it certainly was.
00:38:18.000 She really was making that appeal to those key independent voters who, of course, are going to be the ones to determine this race.
00:38:24.000 And it was interesting, too, to watch Harris, you know, be pretty light on the economy.
00:38:28.000 She did not come out and sound like a big progressive there on that stage. 0.96
00:38:32.000 When she talked about the economy, she actually really talked about things in terms of Trump, saying things like she would make sure to protect the Affordable Care Act.
00:38:41.000 Amazing.
00:38:41.000 Amazing.
00:38:42.000 So again, the defense is there.
00:38:44.000 Joe Scarborough doing the same thing.
00:38:45.000 So George Scarborough went from, Joe Biden is so with it, he's so with it, how dare you even mention that he's seen now, how dare you, he's so with it, to, maybe he has to go to, Kamala Harris is the best.
00:38:55.000 And not only is she the best, when she says she's gonna hand out free money, handing out money isn't socialism, it's just pragmatic politics.
00:39:01.000 I mean, it can be both.
00:39:03.000 It turns out that bribing voters is, in fact, both socialism and pragmatic politics.
00:39:07.000 Here's Joe Scarborough, who is quickly turning into, where's Waldo?
00:39:11.000 She wants to make it easier for younger Americans to get that first house, which they cannot get now.
00:39:18.000 They are shut out of the American dream that we grew up with.
00:39:22.000 And so Kamala Harris is saying, let's see what we can all do together so younger Americans can get that first home.
00:39:29.000 That ain't socialism.
00:39:31.000 That is pragmatic politics that a lot of Americans support.
00:39:36.000 Pragmatic politics.
00:39:37.000 It's not socialism.
00:39:38.000 It's pragmatic politics.
00:39:39.000 With this sort of media coverage, is it any wonder that Kamala Harris has had a bump in the polls? 0.99
00:39:42.000 That's why it's Donald Trump's job to be meticulous in his attack against her.
00:39:46.000 By the way, the media have completely forgotten about Joe Biden.
00:39:48.000 Joe Biden has literally zero things scheduled the entire week.
00:39:55.000 The entire week.
00:39:57.000 I'm looking at his schedule right now.
00:39:59.000 Monday, out of town pool, 10 a.m.
00:40:01.000 That's the only thing on his schedule.
00:40:03.000 Nothing.
00:40:05.000 Nothing last Friday, nothing last Thursday, nothing last Wednesday, nothing.
00:40:09.000 He's just gone.
00:40:11.000 He's just gone, as Tom Bevin at RealClearPolitics points out.
00:40:14.000 Meanwhile, reporter Emily Gooden reported that Biden was, quote, visibly shaking as he exited Air Force One in California Tuesday morning.
00:40:21.000 Zero coverage.
00:40:22.000 He's still the president.
00:40:23.000 That's why it's relevant.
00:40:24.000 Where the hell is he?
00:40:26.000 Where is he?
00:40:27.000 Who's running the country?
00:40:28.000 It doesn't matter.
00:40:29.000 Media don't care. 0.93
00:40:30.000 Kamala Harris has nothing to do with the administration. 0.99
00:40:32.000 Joe Biden isn't running the country.
00:40:33.000 We have no president, apparently.
00:40:35.000 And no one in the White House, because Kamala's not responsible for anything, plus she has no positions. 1.00
00:40:40.000 You wonder why she's doing well?
00:40:41.000 Because they're lying to you.
00:40:43.000 All of them.
00:40:44.000 I mean, this is the greatest gaslighting I have ever seen.
00:40:47.000 Truly.
00:40:48.000 It's the greatest gaslighting I've ever seen.
00:40:49.000 It's not close.
00:40:50.000 I mean, it's worse than BLM.
00:40:52.000 It is worse than COVID.
00:40:53.000 The gaslighting that you are seeing right now, this idea that Kamala Harris is a fresh-faced candidate with no positions, no responsibility for what this administration has done, and Joe Biden is not even there, and all of it is not for your perusal.
00:41:07.000 Stop asking questions.
00:41:10.000 It's hard to think of a way for the media to blow itself up any more completely than it already has.
00:41:14.000 Meanwhile, all this really means is that Donald Trump really needs to go on the offensive.
00:41:17.000 He really needs to.
00:41:18.000 So today, he started that.
00:41:20.000 He went out to Arlington Cemetery to pay tribute to the 13 fallen service members who were killed during that botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
00:41:28.000 The entire media pretending that Kamala Harris has nothing to do with it, but of course, she did.
00:41:32.000 In fact, you'll recall that when she was asked about what had just happened in Afghanistan, She was getting off a plane and she was asked by the press, she started guffawing and laughing.
00:41:41.000 Here's what that looked like.
00:41:42.000 Madam Vice President, what's your response to reports of Americans?
00:41:43.000 Hold on, hold on.
00:41:44.000 Slow down, everybody.
00:41:45.000 So Trump presumably is going to attack her on that.
00:41:46.000 So Trump presumably is going to attack her on that.
00:41:54.000 We are also being told by the Wall Street Journal that Trump's campaign is going to be stepping itself up.
00:42:00.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, advisors to Trump, who are bracing for Harris to enjoy
00:42:03.000 a post-convention boost in polls, say he will be more active on the campaign trail
00:42:06.000 after setting a modest pace when Biden was still in the race.
00:42:09.000 On Monday, Trump will address a National Guard conference in Detroit.
00:42:12.000 He then has events Thursday elsewhere in Michigan and Wisconsin,
00:42:15.000 followed by a rally Friday in Pennsylvania.
00:42:17.000 He's planning a number of interviews and after a long absence has returned to regular posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, where he nearly has 90 million followers.
00:42:25.000 Over the weekend, President Trump was in fact on the Twitter machine.
00:42:30.000 I'm not going to say that I think that he was at his absolute all out best on Twitter.
00:42:34.000 Again, I think he's going to have to do better than the cute nicknames.
00:42:37.000 I think he's going to actually have to go after her on policy.
00:42:39.000 He has been tweeting out various ads.
00:42:43.000 And he is, he's doing some of this.
00:42:44.000 So he tweeted out last night, Kamala Harris was the leader of banning fracking in the United States and fought especially hard for no fracking in Pennsylvania.
00:42:50.000 The people of Pennsylvania are smart.
00:42:52.000 She would devastate the Commonwealth and they know it. 0.96
00:42:54.000 They will vote for Trump.
00:42:55.000 He says, if you think things are expensive now, they will get 100 times worse if Kamala gets four years as president.
00:42:59.000 Under her plan, Kamala will implement Soviet style price controls.
00:43:02.000 She'll abolish private healthcare and make California's ridiculous tax policies the law of the land, meaning every American will be taxed up to 80% of their income. 1.00
00:43:10.000 If you want more cash and less tax, vote Trump.
00:43:14.000 He's calling her comrade Kamala.
00:43:15.000 Again, I think that that is, it needs a little bit of work.
00:43:20.000 But bottom line is that he is back on the attack.
00:43:24.000 That attack was greatly facilitated over the weekend.
00:43:26.000 In a story the entire media downplayed, it really is amazing.
00:43:29.000 There was a third-party candidate in this race who was earning anywhere from four to eight percent in the race by the wide variety of available polls.
00:43:36.000 And if that third-party candidate had come and endorsed Kamala Harris, it would have been a nationwide story.
00:43:41.000 It would have led every major newspaper.
00:43:43.000 However, because that person instead was actually endorsing Donald Trump, it all went away.
00:43:52.000 Nobody paid any attention to it.
00:43:53.000 Despite the fact that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
00:43:56.000 was, in the last polling data, pulling somewhere between 3% and 7%.
00:44:02.000 That's over the course of the last month.
00:44:04.000 The last Economist YouGov poll had Kennedy pulling 3% in a race in which Trump was following Harris by 3%.
00:44:10.000 The CBS News poll from August 16th had Kennedy drawing 2% in a race where Trump was down 2%.
00:44:18.000 That same time period, ABC News Washington Post poll had Kennedy drawing 5% in a poll in which Trump was down 3%.
00:44:28.000 In other words, could RFK Jr.
00:44:30.000 be the margin of victory for Donald Trump by endorsing him?
00:44:33.000 Absolutely.
00:44:35.000 So what are the media doing?
00:44:35.000 They're absolutely downplaying RFK Jr.
00:44:38.000 endorsing Trump.
00:44:39.000 It was, in fact, a very big moment.
00:44:41.000 Not only was it a big moment when RFK Jr.
00:44:43.000 endorsed Trump, he gave a speech on Friday.
00:44:46.000 We covered it live over at YouTube and on our site, Daily Wire Plus.
00:44:50.000 This is why you should subscribe, by the way, so you get all the updates.
00:44:53.000 We're coming at you in, like, real time, very often, this election cycle, because there's just too much going on.
00:44:58.000 R.F.K.
00:44:58.000 Jr.
00:44:58.000 gave a barn burner of a speech.
00:45:00.000 The first 15 minutes was some of the most articulate and directed assault against the media and the Democrats I have ever seen, which is presumably why CNN literally cut to their own anchors.
00:45:10.000 They pulled away from R.F.K.
00:45:11.000 in the middle of that historic announcement, specifically because he was assaulting them at the time.
00:45:16.000 Again, R.F.K.
00:45:17.000 Jr., he gives this speech on Friday.
00:45:20.000 There's a lot there that was pretty amazing.
00:45:22.000 So he started by launching into the Democratic Party, which had basically barred him from any of the primaries in an attempt to cover up Joe Biden's senility.
00:45:30.000 Remember, remember, the Democratic Party rigged its primary rules to stop anyone from running seriously against Joe Biden to ensure he'd get the nomination.
00:45:37.000 And then they promptly swapped him out for the fresh coat of paint.
00:45:39.000 It's unbelievable.
00:45:41.000 It's unbelievable.
00:45:42.000 And here is RFK Jr.
00:45:43.000 calling it out.
00:45:45.000 In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it.
00:45:51.000 Lacking confidence in its candidate, that its candidate could win in a fair election at the voting booth, the DNC waged continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself.
00:46:06.000 It ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent any serious challenge to President Biden.
00:46:14.000 Then when a predictably bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden, the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor, also without an election.
00:46:32.000 He is right.
00:46:32.000 He is totally right.
00:46:34.000 Then he went after the media, and this part was just spot on again.
00:46:37.000 So spot on that CNN cut away before he could get to this.
00:46:42.000 Over the course of more than a year in a campaign where my poll numbers reached at times in the high 20s, the DNC-allied mainstream media networks maintain a near-perfect embargo on interviews with me.
00:46:58.000 During his 10-month presidential campaign in 1992, Ros Perot gave 34 interviews on mainstream networks.
00:47:08.000 In contrast, during the 16 months since I declared, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN combined gave only two live interviews from me.
00:47:25.000 Those networks instead ran a continuous deluge of hit pieces with inaccurate, often vile, pejoratives and defamatory smears.
00:47:35.000 Some of those same networks then colluded with the DNC to keep me off the debate stage.
00:47:44.000 He's right about that. He's right about that.
00:47:46.000 Then he actually formally endorsed Trump in the middle of the speech.
00:47:50.000 Here's what it sounded like.
00:47:51.000 It's with a sense of victory and not defeat that I'm suspending my campaign activities.
00:47:59.000 Not only did we do the impossible by collecting a million signatures, we changed the national political conversation forever.
00:48:07.000 And these are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent.
00:48:17.000 And now to throw my support to President Trump.
00:48:23.000 The causes were free speech, a war in Ukraine, and the war on our children.
00:48:30.000 He endorses.
00:48:31.000 That's a big deal.
00:48:32.000 That's a big deal.
00:48:34.000 I know that many people are trying to play that down.
00:48:35.000 They're trying to suggest he doesn't have that many voters who are left.
00:48:38.000 The reality is that the voters who left him already went to Kamala Harris.
00:48:43.000 So he was just a holding position for people who were favoring Trump but liked RFK better.
00:48:49.000 And now he's fully joining in the campaign.
00:48:51.000 You can hear the enthusiasm that's been injected into the Trump campaign on Friday.
00:48:55.000 Trump introduced him at a speech in Arizona and here's what that sounded like.
00:48:59.000 Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
00:49:01.000 I will tell you, we are both in this to do what's right for the country.
00:49:09.000 That's one thing I can tell you.
00:49:11.000 And the crowd goes absolutely berserk.
00:49:13.000 And that's a big thing.
00:49:14.000 So we are now in the homestretch of this campaign.
00:49:16.000 It is up to Donald Trump to actually prosecute the case against Kamala Harris.
00:49:21.000 Now, again, he's going to be fighting in the face of an overwhelming media tsunami like you've never seen.
00:49:25.000 We've been watching it happen in real time.
00:49:27.000 And it is mind-bogglingly crazy to watch the media simply, openly be the Praetorian Guard for Kamala Harris.
00:49:34.000 You're also going to be doing it in the face of institutions like the Federal Reserve.
00:49:37.000 Jerome Powell, late last week on Friday, he suggested that the time had come for rate cuts.
00:49:42.000 Why?
00:49:42.000 Just in time for the election.
00:49:44.000 Who could have predicted such a thing?
00:49:46.000 Here is Jerome Powell, who presided over 40-year highs in inflation, but now he's going to fix things.
00:49:51.000 He's going to do it just in time for the Democrat to win an election in November.
00:49:57.000 The time has come for policy to adjust.
00:50:01.000 The direction of travel is clear, and the timing and pace of rate cuts will depend on incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks.
00:50:11.000 We will do everything we can to support a strong labor market as we make further progress toward price stability.
00:50:18.000 With an appropriate dialing back of policy restraint, there is good reason to think that the economy will get back to 2% inflation while maintaining a strong labor market.
00:50:30.000 Wow, that's, um, why, just in time.
00:50:32.000 How weird.
00:50:33.000 How weird that you're doing it just right now.
00:50:35.000 Again, that's what Trump is running in the face of, so understand the obstacles he has to overcome.
00:50:39.000 It's also his job to overcome them.
00:50:40.000 That's what this election is.
00:50:42.000 I'm optimistic that Trump will be on the attack from here all the way through the election.
00:50:47.000 It's gotta be meticulous.
00:50:48.000 It's gotta be exact.
00:50:50.000 Can't be any wasted motions.
00:50:51.000 Can't be any wasted time.
00:50:52.000 I think Trump's up to the task.
00:50:53.000 I do.
00:50:53.000 I think that he was doing it today.
00:50:55.000 Again, going to Arlington and paying tribute to the fallen soldiers who Kamala Harris does not believe apparently exists.
00:51:02.000 Who Joe Biden completely ignores.
00:51:03.000 He says that no troops have died under his watch.
00:51:05.000 That's a lie.
00:51:06.000 It's an absolute lie.
00:51:08.000 The single biggest disgrace of the Biden administration, of all the disgraces, and there are many, is the Afghanistan withdrawal.
00:51:13.000 That should be the issue this week from the Trump campaign.
00:51:15.000 Watch for it.
00:51:16.000 Okay, in a moment, we're going to get to an astonishing story.
00:51:19.000 The founder of Telegram was arrested in France.
00:51:23.000 The charges?
00:51:24.000 That he wouldn't provide a backdoor to various governments.

00:51:59.000 There's more for you in this field.
00:52:00.000 Is America inherently racist?
00:52:02.000 The word inherent is challenging there.
00:52:04.000 You want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument?
00:52:07.000 America is racist to its bones.
00:52:09.000 So inherently? 0.98
00:52:10.000 Yeah.
