Kamala Harris launches her campaign with a new ad featuring Beyonce and her gay pride flag ad, and a call to freedom from gun violence. Kamala Harris is the Democratic presidential nominee, and she's running against a man who is running against her. Is it possible that she's actually running against Donald Trump? Or is she running against Joe Biden, the presumed front-runner in the Democratic primary, and the man who has the best chance to beat him? Is she a serious contender, or is she just running against someone who has more money and name recognition than anyone else in the race? What does it mean for her chances of winning the Democratic nomination and becoming the first woman to become the next president of the United States to run for president? How will she fare in a general election against a guy who is more likely to be re-elected in 2020? Will she be able to take on Donald Trump in 2020, or will she be defeated by him in a primary that's much closer than the one she's currently leading in polls and has a much better chance of winning? or is it just a referendum on whether or not she's really running for president or is just running for re-election at all? And what will she do about abortion and gun control and abortion rights? . What's the difference between her and Joe Biden in 2020 and her opponent, Sen. Elizabeth Warren?

00:00:02.000I've been saying this since Joe Biden got out and Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee by widespread acclimation and or a conspiracy among the elites in the Democratic Party to shove her in there because they basically had no other choice.
00:00:16.000The race has now reverted back to where it was basically before the debate.
00:00:20.000So before the debate, Donald Trump did have a solid but slim lead over Joe Biden in a wide variety of states and nationally.
00:00:27.000And now it seems as though the race is reverting back to those fundamentals.
00:00:31.000We already had the outstanding circumstance of Joe Biden effectively enduring a mental collapse in front of the entire American public and making clear to everyone that he was effectively senile.
00:00:42.000But that is now in the rearview mirror, and now we have Kamala Harris.
00:00:46.000And so, looking at the polls, what we see, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, is that Donald Trump is currently leading Kamala Harris by about 1.9 percentage points in the popular vote.
00:00:58.000That includes a new poll from New York Times' Sienna, which is a one-point race in favor of Donald Trump.
00:01:03.000Again, there is a margin of error that is effectively one or two points there.
00:01:07.000Rasmussen, which is usually fairly pro-Trump, has Trump up seven.
00:01:10.000CNN has Trump up three against Kamala Harris, 49 to 46.
00:01:18.000The majority of polls show Trump up, but not up huge.
00:01:22.000In the battleground states, the latest polling data shows Donald Trump still with a relatively durable lead in the battleground states.
00:01:31.000A new set of Emerson polls shows that Harris trails Donald Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and that they are tied in Wisconsin.
00:01:39.000But those margins are way down for Donald Trump from where they were, say, a week ago against Joe Biden.
00:01:44.000Right now, he is up five points in Arizona, He is up only two points in Georgia.
00:01:50.000He is up just one point in Michigan, just two points in Pennsylvania, and he is tied in Wisconsin.
00:01:55.000In other words, much too close for comfort.
00:02:00.000Nate Silver, poll analyst, he says, our national polling average today would have had Trump plus 1.3 against Harris, but it's been fluctuating rapidly.
00:02:08.000She was down more like two to three points post-debate, pre-RNC, more like four points immediately post-RNC, pre-Biden announcement.
00:02:16.000Says, to be more precise, our current numbers are Trump 44.8, Harris 43.5, Kennedy 4.9.
00:02:22.000That compares to Trump 45.2, Biden 41.2, Kennedy 8.
00:02:27.000Some further evidence here, she has less of a third-party problem than Biden.
00:02:31.000What you are starting to see is that Democrats are coming home, but not in the kind of numbers they would for, say, Barack Obama, more in the kind of numbers they would have for Joe Biden if Joe Biden had been completely mentally gone.
00:02:42.000Well, this means that Kamala Harris's campaign has now launched into full swing.
00:02:46.000And that means she has to do two things.
00:04:21.000People are laughing, they're smiling, because in Kamala Harris' America, there's so much laughter and smiling, many Pride Progress flags as well.
00:04:35.000The freedom to be safe from gun violence.
00:04:38.000The freedom to make decisions about your own body.
00:04:41.000We choose a future where no child lives in poverty.
00:05:31.000Now, the reality is that Kamala Harris, if you just watch that campaign ad, what you would think is that she's kind of a libertarian who's hard on crime.
00:05:39.000A libertarian who's pretty hard on crime.
00:05:41.000Yeah, I was socially liberal, but not fiscally irresponsible.
00:05:46.000And she doesn't want you victimized by gun violence or by the criminality of one Donald J. Trump.
00:05:52.000The biggest problem, however, is that Kamala Harris is unbelievably radical.
00:05:58.000Her inner circle is filled with people who have been by her side throughout her relatively unsuccessful political career.
00:06:03.000And I say relatively unsuccessful because, again, she has won one major national election, and that was to send it in California against a candidate who was a fellow Democrat.
00:06:13.000So we'll have to see how this whole thing plays out.
00:06:15.000Kamala is a very, very radical candidate.

00:07:13.000Go to puretalk.com slash Shapiro today.
00:07:22.000Who are the people who are running her campaign apparently?
00:07:25.000Harris's family members have been her closest advisors.
00:07:28.000Harris's only sibling, her younger sister, Maya Harris, was chairwoman of her campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, which was seen as totally dysfunctional.
00:07:37.000Her brother-in-law, Tony West, was previously an associate attorney general during the Obama administration, and he's been traveling around with her.
00:07:44.000She also has a close relationship with her niece, Mina Harris, a lawyer and author.
00:07:49.000Since their marriage in 2014, Doug Emhoff has been her biggest public supporter.
00:07:54.000We won't talk about Doug Emhoff's insane, radical Antifa daughter.
00:07:59.000Then there are her current and former aides.
00:08:01.000There's Rohini Kosoglu, who began working for Harris when she was in the Senate and has remained one of her closest advisors.
00:08:06.000This is according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:08:08.000Then there's Josh Sue, who has served as Harris' chief legal advisor, worked on the transition team as national policy director for the 2020 campaign, and deputy chief of staff when Harris was in the Senate.
00:08:19.000So she's putting together her whole band, her whole 2020 band.
00:08:22.000The problem is that that was a wildly unsuccessful band.
00:08:28.000So, we'll have to see how her campaign runs.
00:08:31.000What we know, more than anything else, is that if the cameras are on Kamala Harris for more than 37 seconds, and if the media aren't allowed to lie about her, it will come out just how radical she is.
00:08:41.000Because when she is unleashed, Kamala Harris is one of the most charmless, radical politicians in American history.
00:08:50.000For example, Kamala Harris suggests that she really is just about freedom, about the American dream and freedom.
00:08:57.000But what she really thinks is more akin to Karl Marx.
00:09:00.000Here is a mashup of Kamala Harris talking many, many times about her actual goal in politics, which is not opportunity for everyone.
00:09:07.000It is instead equal outcome for everyone, which is just communism.
00:09:12.000It has to be about a goal of saying everybody should end up in the same place.
00:09:16.000And since we didn't start in the same place, some folks might need more.
00:09:19.000Giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place.
00:09:28.000So there's a big difference between equality and equity.
00:09:31.000Equality suggests often everybody should get the same thing.
00:09:38.000Well, that often assumes everybody started out in the same place, as opposed to equity, which is everyone should end up in the same place.
00:09:46.000People in our country are having an experience that is not equal.
00:09:54.000Well, I mean, it sounds as though she actually wants equal outcome because she keeps saying it over and over.
00:09:59.000The only way to do that is with massive government interventionism with subsidies by group.
00:10:04.000So does that sound particularly moderate to you?
00:10:07.000Also, Kamala launched her campaign with an appearance on the greatest American program of all time, the kind of program that wins you blue-collar voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
00:10:17.000I'm talking, of course, about RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:10:20.000So here is Kamala Harris trying to get out to vote.
00:11:05.000Well, prepare yourself, because that's what the Democrats want.
00:11:08.000This is the America Democrats want, is that.
00:11:11.000Also, Democrats want, of course, an America that is run by Randy Weingarten.
00:11:15.000So Randy Weingarten is the spectacularly corrupt and awful head of the American Federation of Teachers.
00:11:19.000The American Federation of Teachers, of course, is the same organization that has essentially said that students don't matter.
00:11:24.000All that matters is teachers being paid to do nothing.
00:11:27.000And also that teachers should be able to sexually indoctrinate your kids.
00:11:29.000Well, Harris did an event yesterday in which she touted Randy Weingarten as an incredibly important person to her campaign and to America.
00:11:37.000First of all, this should be a positive disqualification of Kamala Harris.
00:11:42.000The minute you say that Randy Weingarten should have a heavy role in American politics, you should immediately ban from further office by constitutional amendment.
00:11:50.000Randi Weingarten is one of the worst figures in American politics.
00:11:53.000She kept kids out of school for two full years for no reason other than to get her teachers paid for sitting at home doing nothing.
00:12:34.000As you may know, I am a proud product of public education.
00:12:41.000Many of you know that my first grade teacher, Mrs. Frances Wilson, God rest her soul, taught me and educated me and encouraged me and inspired me A proud product of public education.
00:13:00.000When she was 12, she moved with her mother and her sister to Montreal, Canada, where she went to a private Catholic school called Notre Dame de Neige.
00:13:07.000Then she went to Westmount High School, which was a public school in Canada.

00:15:36.000Donald Trump and his allies want to cut Medicare and Social Security.
00:15:42.000To stop student loan forgiveness for teachers and other public servants.
00:15:46.000This is all, like, half of the stuff is just plainly untrue.
00:15:49.000Trump has campaigned on not changing any of the entitlement programs, for example.
00:15:53.000She just says this kind of stuff over and over and over again.
00:15:56.000So what does Kamala Harris actually believe?
00:15:58.000The reason that you are seeing an uptick in her voting numbers from young Americans is because she's embracing the radicalism.
00:16:04.000So, the day before yesterday, we saw pro-Hamas rioters in Washington, D.C.
00:16:09.000burning American flags and taking down American flags and replacing them with Palestinian flags and throwing feces at the cops.
00:16:15.000And Kamala Harris took fully 24 hours to condemn it.
00:16:17.000She put out the following statement, quote, Yesterday at Union Station in Washington, D.C., we saw despicable acts by unpatriotic protesters and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric.
00:16:26.000I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews.
00:16:32.000Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent, and we must not tolerate it in our nation.
00:16:36.000I condemn the burning of the American flag.
00:16:37.000That flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America.
00:16:41.000It should never be desecrated in that way.
00:16:43.000I support the right to peacefully protest, but let's be clear, anti-Semitism, hate, and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.
00:16:51.000And the reason I don't believe her is because she has said precisely the opposite about the emotions of the protesters.
00:16:56.000She has been mollycoddling these protesters since day one.
00:17:00.000She did an interview with The Nation in which she said, quote, they are showing exactly what the human emotion should be as a response to Gaza.
00:17:07.000There are some things some of the protesters are saying that I absolutely reject.
00:17:10.000I don't mean to wholesale endorse their points, but we have to navigate it.
00:17:39.000And Kamala Harris met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after ditching his speech.
00:17:43.000They gave a speech in the Senate day before yesterday, quite a good speech, very bipartisan, reached out to the Biden administration, reached out to Democrats and all the rest.
00:17:52.000Half the Democrats boycotted it, including Kamala Harris, who was too busy going to some sort of sorority event in Indianapolis or something.
00:17:59.000Then she showed up to do a meeting with Netanyahu, specifically so that she could then go out into a press conference in which she ripped Israel.
00:18:06.000So, on the one hand, she doesn't like that Palestinian protesters are humiliating her publicly by saying the obvious part out loud, which is they don't just hate Israel, they hate the United States.
00:19:58.000This dual-action prescription merges the powerhouse ingredients found in generic Viagra and Cialis, Sildenafil, and Tadalafil into one formidable treatment.
00:20:05.000But it's not merely about the ingredients in the medication, it's how you're taking it.

00:20:11.000That's huge because dissolvable treatment hits your bloodstream faster than old-school pills.

00:20:42.000Only available if prescribed after an online consultation with a provider.
00:20:46.000Go check them out right now at R-O-dot-C-O-slash-Ben.
00:20:49.000Again, that is R-O-dot-C-O-slash-Ben to get started.
00:20:53.000She says the war in Gaza isn't a binary issue.
00:20:56.000Now, I have rarely seen a binary issue quite like the war in Gaza.
00:21:00.000It is the most binary foreign policy issue of our lifetime.
00:22:54.000She went out of her way also to slam Israel for what she called food insecurity.
00:22:57.000She can't say starvation because mass starvation has not occurred in the Gaza Strip, despite all of the lies from the pseudo-international organizations, which are really just fronts for Hamas and its allies.
00:23:07.000So instead, she's going to do food insecurity.
00:23:09.000The reality is that Israel has shipped in 2,000 to 3,000 calories per day, per person, into the Gaza Strip for the last several months in the middle of a war zone, something unprecedented in all of human history.
00:23:20.000But here she is finding a way to rip Israel.
00:23:21.000But yeah, we're supposed to believe her when she says that she's upset that people were tagging about Hamas on statues of Christopher Columbus.
00:23:30.000My serious concern about the scale of human suffering in Gaza, including the death of far too many innocent civilians.
00:23:41.000And I made clear my serious concern about the dire humanitarian situation there, with over 2 million people facing high levels of food insecurity.
00:23:53.000And half a million people facing catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity.
00:24:03.000And any attempt to try and craft her into a magical middle-of-the-road Democrat is destined to fail if, if people can honestly see her.
00:24:11.000And so it is the job of the media to ensure that the people do not honestly see her.
00:24:15.000That is the most important thing the media can do for her right now.
00:24:19.000So, what's happening in the land of media?
00:24:21.000Well, first of all, TikTok, which is, of course, a Chinese algorithm that is very much having an impact on the future of this elective cycle.
00:24:28.000TikTok is all out for common law, which should tell you something about what China wants in this election.
00:24:34.000According to the Washington Post, inside the online army supercharging Kamala Harris' campaign, a grassroots network of TikTok creators energized by the new likely Democratic nominee are using their skill at playful video collages to build Harris a viral political powerhouse from scratch.
00:24:48.000Or alternatively, TikTok is a virality algorithm that is programmed by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:25:15.000Remember that time that Joe Biden put her in charge of immigration policy with respect to the Northern Triangle?
00:25:21.000She was supposed to solve the root causes of migration, like gang violence and trafficking and cartels, he said, said the president of the United States when he appointed her to this, but also natural disasters, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes.
00:25:33.000Now, you can make the case that she was never given any real power.
00:25:36.000That case is plausible given the fact that, again, no one trusts her with power because she's terrible at her job.
00:25:42.000Joe Biden did not trust her with power because she's bad.
00:25:44.000She's a bad candidate and she was a bad vice president.
00:25:46.000But she was, in fact, called the Borders Are by pretty much everybody until precisely the moment it became inconvenient to mention that she was the Borders Are.
00:25:53.000So you remember that time that everyone called Kamala Harris the Borders Are and then you weren't allowed to do that anymore because now she's running Well, the media love to lie to you.

00:27:03.000So Newsbusters put out an unbelievable montage of members of the media talking about Kamala Harris as borders are before Biden dropped out.
00:27:14.000And then Kamala Harris as borders are after Biden dropped out.
00:27:18.000So the minute she became the nominee, suddenly she was no longer the borders are ever.
00:27:21.000It was wiped away, lost in the sands of time.
00:29:28.000According to the media, she was never where the borders are, and it's all in your imagination.
00:29:32.000It is all just there in your imagination.
00:29:35.000By the way, if you think the media are driving you crazy about Kamala Harris, I mean, your head has to be spinning with the treatment that they've been giving Joe Biden.
00:29:44.000So, as we went live about, Joe Biden gave a sort of valedictory address, and it was pretty terrible.
00:31:08.000He literally said that he was forced out by his own party.
00:31:11.000He said it became clear that he had to drop out for the unity of the party.
00:31:16.000Not because he's a senile old man who can't hold it together anymore.
00:31:20.000But according to the Washington Post, the man who has probably given more eulogies than any other U.S.
00:31:24.000politician had a significant amount of wistfulness tucked inside his Oval Office address.
00:31:28.000A bit like he is starting to reconcile with the idea that he is soon exiting political life, something that has guided him for more than five decades.
00:31:34.000The man who entered political life as one of the youngest U.S.
00:31:36.000senators in history is coming to terms with leaving as the nation's oldest president in history.
00:31:42.000The whole point of the address was to explain to the nation his decision to abandon his run for re-election and endorse Vice President Harris as his successor.
00:31:49.000In a way, he didn't really accomplish that.
00:31:50.000There wasn't a heavy dose of introspection in the speech.
00:31:53.000He didn't acknowledge the bitterness felt over those he considered friends, stating publicly it was time for him to go.
00:31:57.000Instead, it was the first of what will be many farewells, and also the first attempt to claim credit for what he hopes will cement his legacy.
00:33:01.000They switch from, Joe Biden has to go, he's terrible, I can't believe he's not going, what a narcissist, to, he is a patriotic and magical old man.
00:33:31.000You know, I'll speak in a moment about the importance of reminding people of history, teaching America's true history.
00:33:39.000He thinks and talks about his work and our country, understanding what it means in terms of what we do now and how that will impact the future.
00:33:51.000He thinks about our history in the context of the importance of the work we do now.
00:33:57.000Oh, the history and the context of the important work we do now.

00:34:51.000We discuss the reverberations of the war in the Middle East, the merits of federalism, and the consequences of a possible Donald Trump victory.
00:34:59.000It's one of the wrinkles of history that this guy who was a billionaire who can be very crude and callous has a natural affinity for working people.
00:35:09.000And he's blunt and they admire his authenticity and he's genuine and he can be crude.
00:35:15.000If Donald Trump were to win 21, 22% of the black vote and close the border and go back to an energy first paradigm and then use the DOJ to stop the cartels and interstate coordination of all this crime and restore deterrence, I think he could heal the country very quickly.
00:36:11.000And so the entire media are back to doing what they typically do.
00:36:14.000Here was CNN, for example, melting down over the fact that there were many Republicans last night who were speculating over the fact that Joe Biden was obviously failing in his little farewell address.
00:36:27.000Tell me how you know he's manifestly incapable.
00:36:30.000Oh, I'm sorry to say that this is a sensitive matter where there are a lot of folks who have been talking about this for some time.
00:39:02.000That sort of servant leadership that Jesus talked about.
00:39:07.000And again, to project that out As you're giving what, in effect, is your farewell speech to this campaign and country, I think is a wonderful example for politicians of all parties.
00:39:24.000He is a servant leader, just like Jesus talked about.
00:39:26.000If Jesus loved same-sex marriage, transing the kids and abortion.
00:39:30.000He would be just like, also if Jesus were like a super corrupt old man who made sure his entire family was paid off so they can continue smoking crack off hooker's asses.
00:39:37.000That would be just like the kind of servant leader that Jesus was talking about, probably.
00:40:06.000I think, again, that all Donald Trump has to do is point to her radicalism and he wins swing states.
00:40:11.000I don't think Donald Trump needs to, you know, be kind of the full Donald Trump, meaning as aggressive as he very often is with regard to his own opponents.
00:40:20.000We've been saying this for years, that Donald Trump, with one iota, one shred of containment, would actually be an unstoppable political force.
00:40:29.000Nonetheless, here is Donald Trump announcing that post-assassination attempt, he is not going to be very nice.
00:40:55.000Now again, I am perfectly fine with him being extremely harsh on Kamala Harris because she's a terrible candidate and I believe not a very good person.
00:41:02.000But you might want to focus on her policies.
00:41:05.000So here was Trump yesterday calling Kamala Harris real garbage.
00:41:42.000But this is also the game that Democrats want him to play.
00:41:45.000Now, to be clear, what Democrats are really hoping for is a full LEROY JENKINS.
00:41:50.000Now, for those of you who don't know the online meme, that is a multiplayer video game in which everybody is sort of standing around trying to plan what their next move is, and one of the characters goes to the bathroom, comes back, And then just runs into the room without any further plan.
00:42:03.000That's what Democrats are hoping for from President Trump.
00:42:05.000They're preparing for all of that from President Trump because their best defense, the thing they love using more than anything, is calling Republicans sexist and racist.
00:42:13.000It is their very favorite thing to do.
00:42:14.000Now, I don't think that's going to work very well, but I think that Donald Trump should be very careful about how he addresses Kamala Harris, not because they're right, but because if you alienate the female audience, Especially an audience that Trump has been doing slightly better with than he did back in 2020.
00:42:31.000Then this election is just, it's too close.
00:43:05.000So Donald Trump has to be very meticulous about what he says.
00:43:08.000The most meticulous probably he's ever been, especially given the fact that the Democratic Party and the media, I'm not sure that that coalition has ever been more enthused about taking out a Republican.
00:43:20.000They were enthused about Barack Obama.
00:43:22.000Make no mistake, and they're much more enthused about Obama than they are now about Kamala Harris.
00:43:26.000But in terms of their opportunity to pull a fast one and shove Kamala Harris into the presidency and stop Donald Trump, I'm not sure I've ever seen more enthusiasm from the elite class in the Democratic Party and the media, which means Trump has to run basically a no mistakes race.
00:43:40.000Speaking of errors that Republicans are going to have to avoid.
00:44:15.000Vance was appearing on Tucker Carlson's show back when Tucker's show was on Fox.
00:44:19.000And he ripped into what he called the childless cat lady culture of the Democrats, including Kamala Harris.
00:44:26.000What I was basically saying is that we're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made.
00:44:37.000And so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.
00:45:19.000They're trying to run up the gender gap.
00:45:20.000So one of the things to understand about this election cycle is that the gender gap is larger than it has ever been in the history of American politics in all likelihood.
00:45:48.000But the reality is within the Republican Party now there's a shits and giggles caucus and you say these kinds of things because you get clicks and likes and hates and all that you get noticed and you go to that.
00:45:59.000That's the sexual comment that the guy made.
00:46:03.000That's ultimately the cat lady comment.
00:46:05.000There's no real rationale behind it except that you appeal to that limited part of the Adams family part of the Republican Party that likes that.
00:46:14.000Okay, so that is of course a former Republican who is saying that.
00:46:18.000Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston is signing into the chat to point out that the childless cat lady remarks are very distasteful to her.
00:46:24.000She says, I truly can't believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United States.
00:46:28.000All I can say is, Mr. Vance, I pray your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day.
00:46:33.000I hope she will not need to use IVF as a second option because you are trying to take that away from women today.
00:46:40.000Now, again, One of the things that Vance made perfectly clear is he's talking about women who don't have children by choice.
00:46:46.000He is suggesting that there is, in fact, a difference between people who choose to have children and people who don't choose to have children.
00:46:54.000On a general moral level, again, I agree that a future-oriented society is a society built around its kids.
00:47:01.000I actually think that's inarguable because otherwise the society has no future.
00:47:05.000With that said, there are many people who choose not to have kids, who have good policy ideas on a wide variety of subjects.
00:47:11.000Also, more importantly, it's just going to be a political baton.
00:47:15.000So this is why I say Republicans are going to have to be significantly more careful about what they say against Kamala Harris than they have been against Joe Biden.
00:47:23.000Not because Kamala is wonderful or decent or anything like that, but because the media are waiting.
