00:00:22.000 So, last night, the Kamala Harris campaign, which of course we're supposed to believe is amazing at this.

00:00:28.000 They are incredible.

00:00:29.000 The media switch in time from Kamala Harris, pretty unpopular, not very good at this, odd hand motions, smugness, arrogance, weird laugh too. 0.97

00:00:38.000 My god, she's unbelievable.

00:00:40.000 She's like a reincarnation of Barack Obama except with a... 1.00

00:00:44.000 Just unbelievable.

00:00:45.000 That sort of switch in time has happened incredibly rapidly, and the Kamala Harris campaign is focusing in like a laser beam on single ladies. 0.97

00:00:53.000 That is the absolute definition of her campaign.

00:00:55.000 She's going to try to run up the gender gap to the highest levels ever seen in the history of American politics, not on the back of married women, but on the back of single ladies. 1.00

00:01:04.000 That is the reason why you have seen the Democratic Party go so hard on the J.D.

00:01:07.000 Vance, Cat Lady comment. 0.93

00:01:08.000 There's a reason for that.

00:01:09.000 Demographically, it makes perfect sense.

00:01:11.000 There's a fascinating piece from the American Enterprise Institute, circa 2023.

00:01:17.000 By Samuel Abrams, who's a professor of politics at Sarah Lawrence College, and Joel Kotkin, executive director of the Urban Reform Institute.

00:01:24.000 And here is what they say in terms of American politics.

00:01:27.000 While married men and women, as well as unmarried men, broke for the GOP, CNN exit polls found 68% of unmarried women voted for Democrats.

00:01:31.000 2022 midterms may have been their electoral coming out party as they proved the chief break on the predicted

00:01:36.000 Republican wave.

00:01:36.000 While married men and women as well as unmarried men broke for the GOP, CNN exit polls found

00:01:40.000 68% of unmarried women voted for Democrats. That is in fact its own voter bloc. Those are percentages

00:01:47.000 equivalent in their magnitude to what you would perceive as a giant self-interested voter bloc single ladies. 1.00

00:01:53.000 It's a good thing.

00:01:54.000 It is also the fact that the number of unmarried women in American society has dramatically increased over the course of the past several decades.

00:02:01.000 The number of never married women grew from about 20% in 1950 to over 30% in 2022.

00:02:04.000 in 1950 to over 30% in 2022, then the percentage of married women has declined

00:02:08.000 from almost 70% in 1950 to under 50% today.

00:02:12.000 Not just that, it turns out that the single ladies, they have decided that they are, 1.00

00:02:17.000 in fact, their own voter block.

00:02:18.000 Pew recently found that quote, men are far more likely than women to be on the dating market.

00:02:22.000 61% of single men say they're currently looking for a relationship or dates.

00:02:26.000 Only 38% of single women say they are.

00:02:30.000 And while married men and married women are far more likely than unmarried females to think that women are well-treated or equally treated, it turns out that single women, discontented younger single women, are developing something of a group consciousness, according to Kotkin and Abrams.

00:02:44.000 Nearly two-thirds of women under 30 see what happens to other women as critical to their own lives.

00:02:48.000 Among women over 50, this mindset shrinks to less than half. 1.00

00:02:51.000 In other words, if you are an older, married woman, you tend to see yourself in the context of your family.

00:02:55.000 And if you're an unmarried, young, single woman, you tend to see a certain level of female solidarity. 0.99

00:03:00.000 Which, again, makes some sense, because when you are a single, sort of atomized individual of any sort, you're going to tend to try to find a community of like-minded people.

00:03:09.000 So as that ideology grows, and as that constituency grows, it tends to form its own voter bloc.

00:03:15.000 As AEI writes, the key driver of these attitudes may be universities, where feminist ideology often holds powerful sway. 1.00

00:03:21.000 Women now predominate on college campuses. 1.00

00:03:23.000 In the late 1960s, there were about 39% of college graduates.

00:03:26.000 Now, there are about 59% of college graduates.

00:03:29.000 The percentage of full-time female professors has risen dramatically.

00:03:31.000 At the full-professor level, the percentage has grown by roughly one-third.

00:03:34.000 According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the number of women in gender studies degree in the United States has increased by more than 300% since 1990.

00:03:45.000 Married people account for 77% of all homeowners.

00:03:48.000 Married women do better professionally and economically. 0.98

00:03:51.000 Those without spouses, in terms of the rate of marriage, have declined by 15% over the past four decades, and single-parent households do far worse than that.

00:04:00.000 So it turns out that, economically speaking, married women tend to do better than single women.

00:04:03.000 So what you have here is a disaffected constituency the Democratic Party is honing in on like a laser beam.

00:04:09.000 And they are doing this with Kamala Harris's presidential aspirations.

00:04:14.000 They're doing this in a couple of different parts.

00:04:16.000 One, they are trying to find white men who are going to pay homage to Kamala Harris as a woman to make all the single ladies feel really good.

00:04:23.000 And then they're trying to find white women who are willing to pay homage to Kamala Harris as a black woman.

00:04:28.000 This is full intersectionality on display in the Kamala Harris campaign.

00:04:32.000 So if you like what you're seeing in the campaign, get ready for that in the presidency.

00:04:34.000 Intersectionality, which again is the theory that everyone is describable by their group characteristics and we can then rank.

00:04:41.000 How we ought to treat people based on their level of victimization, based on group characteristics.

00:04:46.000 So for example, white woman more victimized than white man, black woman more victimized than white woman. 0.65

00:04:52.000 And that means that a white woman can't speak to a black woman and a white man can't speak to a white woman. 0.98

00:04:58.000 If you like that in the campaign, get ready for that in the presidency, because this is absolutely what Kamala Harris's candidacy stands for.

00:05:04.000 On a political level, this also means that what the Kamala Harris campaign is attempting to do by breaking apart all of these groups, and this is what they've done.

00:05:11.000 They have like black, gay, and queer men for Kamala Harris.

00:05:15.000 And last night, they had a group called White Dudes for Kamala.

00:05:18.000 They had a big meeting, White Dudes for Kamala. 0.82

00:05:20.000 Something like 30,000 men showed up on this Zoom call, white dudes.

00:05:25.000 for Kamala.

00:05:26.000 And what it really was, was not a bunch of people who are just supportive of Kamala Harris. 0.61

00:05:31.000 It was a struggle session in which white dudes declared themselves subservient to both women and also to black women.

00:05:39.000 Because this is the essence of intersectionality.

00:05:41.000 So every speaker was an upper-class, college-educated, or extraordinarily wealthy Hollywood liberal White dudes for Kamala. 0.54

00:05:50.000 privilege and how because of their privilege they had to demonstrate to the world that

00:05:54.000 Kamala Harris was the candidate for them.

00:05:56.000 Not because she's well qualified, not because she's amazing at her job, not because they

00:06:00.000 agree with her policies, but because it is just so important based on intersectional

00:06:03.000 characteristics to support Kamala Harris.

00:06:06.000 White dudes for Kamala.

00:06:07.000 It is kind of a fake because it's not really about white dudes at all.

00:06:11.000 Sort of like the stability of the United States dollars.

00:06:14.000 See, since 1974, Saudi Arabia has sold oil solely in American dollars, which was huge for our global economic dominance.

00:06:20.000 Now they would like other options.

00:06:22.000 If there's less demand for the U.S.

00:06:23.000 dollar, what happens to its value?

00:06:24.000 It's for reasons like this I feel it's important to diversify some of your savings into gold.

00:06:28.000 You can do that with the help of birch gold.

00:06:53.000 Diversification matters, particularly in uncertain times.

00:06:58.000 Can you remember the last time things were this uncertain?

00:07:00.000 So diversification might be a smart thing to do.

00:07:05.000 All you have to do to get started is text Ben to 989898.

00:07:14.000 They were simping for Kamala.

00:07:16.000 That's what this White Dudes for Harris was. 0.77

00:07:18.000 Now, that is not an outreach strategy for blue-collar men.

00:07:22.000 This is why you have seen the entire political conversation shift from Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania down to like Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina.

00:07:32.000 The reason is because the states where this is likely to play are states With large cities, with a lot of single women living in them, because single women tend to congregate, generally speaking, in bigger cities. 1.00

00:07:43.000 And also more racially diverse states, because they're hoping to drive out minority turnout for Kamala Harris.

00:07:48.000 She polls better with minorities than Joe Biden did.

00:07:49.000 She polls worse with rural whites than Joe Biden did.

00:07:53.000 So there's been an attempt to shift the map.

00:07:56.000 So what is this White Dudes for Kamala thing about?

00:07:58.000 What this White Dudes for Kamala thing is about is that it is certainly not about reaching out to white dudes.

00:08:03.000 That is actually not what it is about.

00:08:04.000 For public consumption, it is about reaching out to single ladies. 0.99

00:08:08.000 It is about establishing a hierarchy within the Kamala Harris campaign where white dudes are going to come on Game of Thrones-style bended knee to plead for their lives with the kingdom of Kamala.

00:08:20.000 That is what this was.

00:08:21.000 It was a full-scale malice struggle session last night in the White Dudes for Harris Zoom call.

00:08:28.000 So here was the White Dudes for Harris organizer, a guy named Ross Morales Raquetto, talking about masculinity.

00:08:33.000 Now, just ask yourself, is this designed to reach out to the factory worker in Michigan?

00:08:38.000 Is this designed to reach out to the fracking specialist in Pennsylvania?

00:08:43.000 Or is this designed to reach out to all the single ladies? 0.98

00:08:46.000 Here we go.

00:08:48.000 Masculinity, as a trope, has been co-opted by the MAGA right into something that feeds into and exacerbates the loneliness epidemic, as well as the mental health crisis that many face that end up leading to really destructive behaviors.

00:09:02.000 We aren't the only ones that are hurt by these things.

00:09:04.000 Black and brown people, LGBTQIA+, people, especially trans women and indigenous people, and you know, All sorts of other folks in our society who've been historically, and often still today, are marginalized and being hurt, demonized, and marginalized even further.

00:09:26.000 Okay, is that designed to reach out to blue-collar white voters?

00:09:29.000 I think not.

00:09:30.000 Is that even designed to reach out to dudes?

00:09:32.000 That entire diatribe is about how masculinity, traditionally speaking, you know, protector and provider masculinity, is bad and wrong and victimizes the marginalized and all the rest of this sort of stuff.

00:09:42.000 And there's the same campaign that's busy calling J.D.

00:09:44.000 Vance and Donald Trump weird, and they have man bun over here telling you that traditional masculinity is actually the direst threat to people who are outside the norm and therefore must be rethought.

00:09:55.000 This is white dudes, white simps for Kamala over here. 0.73

00:09:59.000 Josh Gad, who is most famous for being the voice of Olaf in the Frozen movies.

00:10:05.000 Josh Gad was out there suggesting that we need a female president because, again, he's weeping with his daughters unless there's a female president. 0.90

00:10:13.000 I'm a white dude.

00:10:14.000 That much you can probably tell by now.

00:10:16.000 But I also happen to be a father of two girls.

00:10:19.000 I have a 10 year old and a 13 year old.

00:10:22.000 And I'm not sure if you guys can recall that feeling you had on the night of Tuesday, November 8th, 2016.

00:10:31.000 I stood over my kid's bed and I wept.

00:10:36.000 I wept because I felt like I let them down.

00:10:40.000 I wept because They had the chance and we had the chance to have a female president for the first time in our lives and in the history of this nation.

00:10:56.000 Nothing says masculinity quite like weeping over your children's beds because Hillary Clinton didn't become president of the United States.

00:11:02.000 Not because he thought that Hillary Clinton was better qualified, but because for some odd reason he thinks that it is very important to his daughters that Hillary Clinton be president.

00:11:09.000 Now, I also have two daughters.

00:11:11.000 And you know what I don't care about?

00:11:12.000 And you know what they don't care about?

00:11:14.000 Whether there's a female president. 1.00

00:11:15.000 They don't care about that because that's a stupid way to think about the presidency. 1.00

00:11:19.000 It's really stupid. 1.00

00:11:20.000 Looking at the physical characteristics of the president as opposed to, you know, their capacity to do the job is ridiculous. 1.00

00:11:27.000 I'd be perfectly happy. 0.81

00:11:28.000 I'd be overjoyed with a female president who shared my values. 0.97

00:11:32.000 And I would be perfectly beside myself with a female president who did not. 1.00

00:11:36.000 Because that's how you should think about politics.

00:11:38.000 But again, this isn't about driving male votes out.

00:11:40.000 This is about driving female votes out. 1.00

00:11:43.000 Again, the reason for that is because Kamala Harris has one issue where she has an advantage against Donald Trump. 1.00

00:11:48.000 She's running behind him on economy.

00:11:49.000 She's running behind him on immigration.

00:11:50.000 She's running behind him on foreign policy.

00:11:52.000 She's running behind him on pretty much everything.

00:11:54.000 Crime, too.

00:11:55.000 There's one area where she's running ahead of Donald Trump consistently.

00:11:57.000 That's abortion. 1.00

00:11:58.000 That's abortion. 1.00

00:11:59.000 So this entire campaign is going to be about lady parts and abortion. 1.00

00:12:03.000 And you need to pay homage to Kamala Harris because she is a woman.

00:12:07.000 And that's what White Dudes for Kamala is about. 1.00

00:12:08.000 It's about reinforcing Single female solidarity with Kamala Harris because married females tend not to vote to the left. 0.99

00:12:17.000 Mainly because, again, they are more family oriented.

00:12:20.000 They vote in the interest of their families as opposed to a constituency interest group called the single ladies.

00:12:25.000 Here is Josh Groban doing the same.

00:12:27.000 And again, it's hard to watch this sort of stuff.

00:12:28.000 It's very difficult to watch this sort of stuff because it is so just stomach turning to watch all of these people Just sacrifice their own dignity on behalf of Kamala Harris.

00:12:40.000 It's just undignified.

00:12:42.000 As a man, it is an undignified thing for men to talk about how they are weeping because a female wasn't elected president.

00:12:49.000 Or they were just beside themselves because masculinity somehow alienates the marginalized.

00:12:54.000 That your core role as protector and provider alienates the marginalized. 1.00

00:12:58.000 Here's Josh Groban, voice of an angel, saying really dumb crap. 0.98

00:13:04.000 I am proud to raise my hand and to say that this is something that I believe so fully in. 0.97

00:13:10.000 I'm so excited by the galvanizing of the Harris campaign and I'm so grateful every single day to the people in my life and in the marginalized communities that educate me every single day that this is a constant education.

00:13:26.000 It's a constant education.

00:13:27.000 He has to be educated, you see, because he's a white dude.

00:13:30.000 And white dudes got to be educated.

00:13:32.000 Well, if the white dudes for Kamala have their way, she'll be elected president of the United States. 1.00

00:13:36.000 And that would mean, of course, climbing crime rates, which is why now you might want to think about getting a burnout.

00:13:41.000 I'm about as pro-Second Amendment as it gets, but the thought of using lethal force, it's not like the ideal if you can avoid it.

00:13:47.000 Also, God forbid you don't want to make a mistake and use deadly force against somebody you didn't need to.

00:13:51.000 Introducing the Burna Ungun, the non-lethal self-defense platform.

00:13:55.000 Lightweight, simple to use, it uses an easy-to-load 5-round magazine and is powered by an 8-gram CO2 cartridge.

00:14:00.000 Burna launchers fire a 68-caliber chemical-filled projectile using patented pull-pierce technology, where the CO2 canister is only punctured On the first trigger pull.

00:14:08.000 That means your launcher is always at the ready.

00:14:10.000 It's capable of incapacitating an attacker for over 30 minutes.

00:14:36.000 They have to bend the knee. 0.96

00:14:40.000 Bend the knee to Joffrey over here.

00:14:42.000 You must.

00:14:44.000 Or rather, Cersei Lannister, you gotta bend the knee.

00:14:47.000 It's very important, and if you do not bend the knee, then you have not been simpy enough.

00:14:52.000 Here is Bradley Whitford, who we last saw on the West Wing, so it's been a couple decades since we cared what this dude had to say.

00:14:57.000 Here he is, talking about Donald Trump.

00:15:01.000 There is a God.

00:15:02.000 She's a terrible writer. 1.00

00:15:03.000 I mean, I have not been able to, if I walked into the West Wing writers room and said,

00:15:12.000 okay, this is going to be our Republican candidate, you know, a felon and adjudicated.

00:15:22.000 Why would you possibly listen to these people about politics? 0.99

00:15:30.000 They don't got a brain in their head.

00:15:31.000 Again, I think many of these people are well-intentioned. 0.97

00:15:33.000 I know many of the people in Hollywood who are like this.

00:15:36.000 In fact, Sean Astin was on this call.

00:15:38.000 Okay, I've met Sean Astin.

00:15:39.000 I was on his podcast maybe 10 years ago at this point.

00:15:42.000 Super nice person.

00:15:43.000 Super genuine.

00:15:44.000 Knows literally nothing about politics.

00:15:45.000 Just does not know things.

00:15:46.000 Is a big Democrat donor.

00:15:47.000 Does not know anything about politics.

00:15:50.000 Get the placemat out when you're with a kindergartner and you're looking at the placemat of the presidents.

00:16:01.000 Not one woman! 1.00

00:16:02.000 And the other side, they try and take everything that's good about us and demean it.

00:16:09.000 Kamala Harris smiles.

00:16:12.000 She laughs.

00:16:13.000 She dances.

00:16:15.000 She has joy.

00:16:16.000 She's alive.

00:16:18.000 And they try and ridicule her for that. 0.79

00:16:20.000 And they try and undermine us for that.

00:16:24.000 This is a serious person who can prosecute a tough case against people when she's in the Senate. 0.81

00:16:30.000 Those are some of the most exciting moments during that awful time, was watching this senator take them to task.

00:16:41.000 Kavanaugh and some of those other People that I watch are fully prepared for her moments.

00:16:50.000 So exquisite with her use of language.

00:16:54.000 Such seriousness of purpose that she has.

00:16:59.000 Full package.

00:17:00.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:01.000 Dude, dude, dude, stick to carrying Frodo up the hill.

00:17:04.000 Like, seriously.

00:17:06.000 Stick to, stick to playing one play in football in a movie because that is, that is some bad.

00:17:11.000 Don't you understand?

00:17:12.000 You can't mock her laugh because she's alive.

00:17:15.000 She's filled with joy!

00:17:17.000 She's like a wonderful princess bursting forth in song!

00:17:20.000 Oh! 0.60

00:17:21.000 Kamala, oh!

00:17:23.000 Again, is any of this directed toward males?

00:17:26.000 It's white dudes for Kamala. 0.75

00:17:27.000 How many white dudes watch this and they're like, You know what?

00:17:29.000 I'm on board.

00:17:30.000 I'm totally on board. 0.98

00:17:33.000 The energy that is coming off White Dudes for Kamala is the same energy as the losers who go to left-wing rallies in order to get laid. 0.78

00:17:40.000 That is the energy that comes off of White Dudes for Kamala. 0.97

00:17:44.000 It's a bunch of guys who really want to be in good with all of the cultural powers that be.

00:17:50.000 And they don't necessarily really believe all this stuff, or maybe they do, but they're really trying to convince themselves super hard.

00:17:56.000 At the very least, they have a very passing knowledge of the politics.

00:17:59.000 Jeff Bridges, for example.

00:18:01.000 So we are going to listen to Jeff Bridges about politics.

00:18:06.000 Because one time he played the big Glabowski.

00:18:12.000 I accepted the invitation.

00:18:13.000 I was brought to the party not so much as being white, and I certainly am, but because I'm a dude, you know.

00:18:21.000 So a friend sent me this email today with your hat on there, and I said, oh, I gotta have one of those.

00:18:29.000 I qualify, man.

00:18:31.000 I'm white, I'm a dude, and I'm for Harris.

00:18:36.000 Oh, well, I mean, that does explain it.

00:18:39.000 I mean, I still don't understand why your opinion is particularly relevant.

00:18:41.000 I don't think that you actually know things, but sure.

00:18:44.000 I think that, sure.

00:18:46.000 Then Pete Buttigieg shows up, and when you think about the core of traditional masculinity, Pete Buttigieg comes to mind.

00:18:53.000 Dude loves choo-choo trains, loves airplanes, bad at both, is secretary of transportation, took a two-month paternity leave so that he could help his husband recover from childbirth, and no one missed him.

00:19:08.000 And here he is explaining that abortion is actually great for men.

00:19:12.000 We used to call this perspective evil.

00:19:15.000 That abortion is great for men. 1.00

00:19:16.000 It's great when women can kill the baby you made so you don't have to have responsibility for that baby. 1.00

00:19:20.000 It is amazing that this sort of line just spills forth from a potential vice presidential candidate.

00:19:27.000 I'm so glad she has made freedom the theme of her campaign because I think in so many ways that's what's at stake.

00:19:32.000 And yes, women's freedom is exhibit A after Donald Trump demolished the right to choose. 1.00

00:19:38.000 But of course, men are also more free in a country where we have a president who stands up for things like access to abortion care.

00:19:47.000 Men are more free.

00:19:50.000 Men are more free.

00:19:51.000 That's true.

00:19:52.000 Abortion does make men more free to stoop women and then not support them or their potential children because the baby can just be killed. 0.52

00:19:59.000 The point that I'm making here is that this entire campaign is built around the premise that single women will carry Kamala Harris to victory.

00:20:05.000 Now, there's something that is worth noting here.

00:20:07.000 In 2022, single women did show up in outsized numbers in particular states where abortion was on the ballot in order to vote for the Democrats. 0.98

00:20:15.000 And it broke the Republican momentum, but Republicans did end up winning the House.

00:20:20.000 So the notion that single ladies can carry Kamala Harris to victory while they alienate literally everyone else, that is an interesting bet. 1.00

00:20:28.000 It is a very interesting bet.

00:20:29.000 I don't know if those stats pay off, particularly when you have the simultaneously alienating white dudes, white simps for Kamala over here, suggesting that men have to sit and listen because men should not have perspectives. 0.90

00:20:41.000 White men cannot have perspectives. 0.99

00:20:43.000 They have to sit and they have to hear and they have to listen and they have to understand their traditional masculine virtues are actually fallacies and lies and very bad for the country.

00:20:51.000 And meanwhile, you have the next group up the totem pole in the intersectional Olympics over here.

00:20:56.000 You have white women for Kamala. 1.00

00:20:57.000 They also Karens for Kamala. 0.90

00:20:59.000 They also had their own Zoom meeting.

00:21:02.000 And the Karens for Kamala are some of the most off-putting human beings on the planet. 1.00

00:21:06.000 Not because they're ladies, but because they're obnoxious. 1.00

00:21:09.000 Just awful. 0.90

00:21:10.000 Would you want to have dinner with these ladies? 0.96

00:21:13.000 But it's not directed at you, it's directed at getting out the single, white, college-educated lady vote. 0.99

00:21:20.000 You would not want to have dinner with any of these awful, awful people. 0.99

00:21:24.000 They're just, they're obnoxious. 0.92

00:21:25.000 And here's the thing, even if you did have dinner, would you get the nutrients that you need?

00:21:29.000 Well, I always get the nutrients I need with balance of nature.

00:21:32.000 I exercise, I try to get enough sleep, I eat well when I'm traveling.

00:21:34.000 Balance of nature fits right into my day-to-day and keeps me healthy so I can be on air 24 hours a day covering selection. Imagine trying to eat 31 different fruits and

00:21:42.000 veggies every single day. That sounds miserable and time-consuming.

00:21:44.000 With Balance of Nature fruits and veggies, there's never been a more convenient dietary supplement to

00:21:49.000 ensure you get a wide variety of fruits and veggies every day.

00:21:51.000 Balance of Nature takes fruits and veggies, they freeze-dry them,

00:21:54.000 they turn them into a powder, and then they put them into a capsule. You take their fruit and veggie capsules daily and

00:21:58.000 your body knows exactly what to do with them.

00:22:00.000 This is also kosher, and that is how I can put them in my protein smoothies to keep the gun show going strong. 0.95

00:22:12.000 That's balanceofnature.com, promo code Shapiro.

00:22:15.000 So Benjamin Franklin once said that beer is the way that we know that God loves us, vegetables are the way that we know that God might be indifferent, but Balance of Nature fixes that problem.

00:22:23.000 Balanceofnature.com, use promo code Shapiro, 35% off your first order as a preferred customer, plus that free bottle of Fiber and Spice.

00:22:30.000 This is the coalition Democrats keep doubling down on.

00:22:32.000 They're playing the Barack Obama 2012 campaign.

00:22:34.000 I've said many times on the program, you know my theory.

00:22:36.000 2012 broke the country because Barack Obama ran as a unifier in 2008 and then in 2012, he decided that he was going to run by cobbling together heavy minority turnout and college-educated white ladies and alienating everyone else.

00:22:48.000 Hillary ran that same campaign in 2016. 1.00

00:22:49.000 She lost.

00:22:50.000 In 2020, Joe Biden didn't quite run that campaign because COVID screwed everything all up and there was All this absentee voting and the number of voters in the sheer population pool went up by something like 22 million votes.

00:23:02.000 But they're going to keep running this play over and over and over again.

00:23:04.000 It's a bold move, Cotton.

00:23:05.000 We'll see if it works for them.

00:23:07.000 Here is white women for Kamala, a lady named Ariel Fodor, who also calls herself Mrs. Frazzled. 0.99

00:23:14.000 We'll get to know her better in just a moment.

00:23:17.000 This is a really important time, and we all need to use our voices and influence for the greater good.

00:23:23.000 No matter who you are, you are all influencers in some way.

00:23:27.000 As white women, we need to use our privilege to make positive changes. 1.00

00:23:31.000 If you find yourself talking over or speaking for BIPOC individuals or, God forbid, correcting them, just take a beat. 1.00

00:23:39.000 And instead we can put our listening ears on.

00:23:42.000 So, do learn from and amplify the voices of those who have been historically marginalized and use the privilege you have in order to push for systemic change.

00:23:55.000 Again, notice the intersectional hierarchy. 0.99

00:23:57.000 White men at the bottom, because white men are bad. 1.00

00:23:59.000 Masculinity is bad. 1.00

00:24:01.000 Pay homage to Kamala. 0.99

00:24:02.000 Then you got white women. 1.00

00:24:04.000 Not as bad as white men, but also a little bad because they're white. 0.99

00:24:07.000 In this particular context, we're going to pretend that white women for Kamala actually means women. 0.89

00:24:12.000 Because otherwise, the word has no definition.

00:24:14.000 We should get to know, by the way, Ariel Fodor here.

00:24:18.000 Who is this lady who's lecturing all of the white ladies on how they can't correct BIPOC women or some such nonsense? 1.00

00:24:24.000 Here she is.

00:24:25.000 This is some of her role as Mrs. Frazzle.

00:24:28.000 That is what she calls herself on the interwebs.

00:24:30.000 Talking about gentle parenting your uncle who can't bear to see a man in nail polish. 0.96

00:24:36.000 Oh no, catch a bubble, Uncle Norm.

00:24:38.000 I think you said an inside thought out loud.

00:24:42.000 Huh, is him wearing nail polish a big problem or a little problem?

00:24:47.000 Macaroni cheese, everybody freeze.

00:24:49.000 Uncle Don, no one wants to take your gas stove.

00:24:53.000 No, friend, they just want you to know about your gas stove.

00:24:56.000 Do you see how it says natural gas?

00:24:59.000 They just want to put a little warning sticker on your stove so that you know that it actually means methane gas.

00:25:05.000 Yeah, the one making the world warmer.

00:25:08.000 How did you feel about your speech?

00:25:10.000 Oh, I thought it was unique, just like everyone's family is unique and everyone's choices are unique.

00:25:17.000 Uh-uh, catch a bubble. 0.87

00:25:18.000 It is important to be kind even when someone thinks differently than you do.

00:25:24.000 I love that last line.

00:25:25.000 It's important to be kind even when someone thinks differently than you do, which is why she's speaking to people who have a different perspective, like they are five-year-old children with a mental disability.

00:25:34.000 Republicans should just play these people on a loop. 0.94

00:25:36.000 Honestly, just play clips from white dudes for Kamala on a loop.

00:25:39.000 Play Ariel Fodor on a loop.

00:25:41.000 Play Angela Belcamino on a loop.

00:25:43.000 Another one of these single female influencers who's declaring her allegiance to Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:25:48.000 She says, imagine being 42, child-free, stress-free, and being this happy.

00:25:52.000 The right hates this.

00:25:53.000 This is supposed to be a rip on JD Van suggesting that actually happiness very often lies in family and children.

00:25:58.000 Here she is dancing around like a 16 year old girl, but she's 42 and lonely.

00:26:02.000 She's dancing around by herself wearing a cutoff t-shirt and like short jean shorts. 0.56

00:26:12.000 I I- I-

00:26:15.000 This entire tweet is just the Nathan Fielder tweet.

00:26:21.000 Here I am having an amazing time with my friends.

00:26:23.000 They're just off camera.

00:26:25.000 That is what this is.

00:26:27.000 It's amazing.

00:26:29.000 But there is a strategy.

00:26:31.000 It's not by accident that Democrats are doing this.

00:26:33.000 It's not by accident that Kamala Harris is doing this.

00:26:36.000 They're steering directly into the single female vote. 1.00

00:26:40.000 That's why, again, they're focusing on J.D.

00:26:42.000 Vance.

00:26:43.000 It's why they're focusing on abortion, because that's the only advantage they have in this election cycle. 1.00

00:26:47.000 Every other major demographic group, major here, I'm talking about 30% and up of the population, seems to be voting for Donald Trump.

00:26:57.000 When it comes to single women, particularly single college-educated women, they need heavy turnout from that group. 0.64

00:27:03.000 That is why they're directing everything toward this group.

00:27:05.000 But they can alienate everybody else on this basis.

00:27:08.000 It turns out that most people find this kind of stuff obnoxious.

00:27:10.000 Well, it turns out that Kamala Harris does not have, like, an amazing strategy, but I'll tell you what is an amazing strategy.

00:27:16.000 If you're a busy person, you have to have a mattress that works for you.

00:27:19.000 I cannot keep up with my day if I don't get a decent night's sleep.

00:27:21.000 That is why I appreciate my Helix mattress.

00:27:24.000 Helix harnesses years of mattress expertise to offer a truly elevated sleep experience.

00:27:27.000 The Helix Elite Collection includes six different mattress models, each tailored for specific sleep positions and firmness preferences.

00:27:32.000 If you're nervous about buying a mattress online, you really don't have to be.

00:27:35.000 Helix has a sleep quiz.

00:27:36.000 It matches your body type and sleep preferences to the perfect mattress, because why would you buy a mattress made for somebody else? 0.87

00:27:40.000 I took that Helix quiz.

00:27:41.000 I was matched with a firm but breathable mattress.

00:27:43.000 I love it.

00:27:44.000 My wife loves it.

00:27:44.000 We are big Helix fans at the Shapiro household.

00:27:47.000 Helix has a 10-year warranty.

00:27:48.000 You have to try it out for 100 nights risk-free.

00:27:50.000 They'll even pick it up for you if you don't love it, but you will.

00:27:52.000 Helix's financing options and flexible payment plans make it so a great night's sleep is never far away.

00:27:57.000 For a limited time, Helix is offering up to 30% off all mattress orders and two free pillows for our listeners.

00:28:02.000 Just head on over.

00:28:03.000 to helixsleep.com slash Ben.

00:28:05.000 That's helixsleep.com slash Ben is their best offer yet.

00:28:08.000 It's not gonna last long with Helix.

00:28:09.000 Better sleep starts right now.

00:28:11.000 Go get a mattress made just for you. 0.62

00:28:12.000 Helixsleep.com slash Ben.

00:28:14.000 And again, get up to 30% off all mattress orders plus two free pillows for our listeners.

00:28:18.000 Most people don't wanna hear Josh Groban lecturing them about the marginalization of BIPOC queer men.

00:28:26.000 Most people don't wanna hear Angela Belcamino lecture them about the joys of single living 0.95

00:28:32.000 as an aspect of politics.

00:28:34.000 Muh-. 0.96

00:28:36.000 There is a norm in the United States, and Democrats have decided that they're more marginalized than norm, so they're going to create the coalition of the marginalized and pseudo-oppressed, and they're going to run that to victory.

00:28:47.000 But that is not an amazing strategy, actually.

00:28:50.000 It's not an amazing strategy.

00:28:51.000 Now, I don't think that Kamala Harris is putting all her money on that strategy. 1.00

00:28:54.000 I think she's also putting a lot of her money and a lot of her credibility on just lying. 0.99

00:28:58.000 I think that her campaign is going to be about completely recasting her entire political worldview as non-radical and non-far-left. 0.82

00:29:05.000 which requires her to lie and lie like a rug. 1.00

00:29:08.000 Here, for example, is the new Kamala Harris ad.

00:29:10.000 She's gonna drop like $50 million behind this ad and try to drop it in a bunch of swing states. 1.00

00:29:14.000 Here is Kamala Harris' new ad.

00:29:15.000 Notice that she tries to bring herself off as an aggressive right-wing prosecutor in this ad. 1.00

00:29:20.000 The one thing Kamala Harris has always been, fearless.

00:29:27.000 As a prosecutor, she put murderers and abusers behind bars. 0.99

00:29:32.000 As California's Attorney General, she went after the big banks and won $20 billion for homeowners.

00:29:38.000 And as Vice President, she took on the big drug companies to cap the cost of insulin for seniors. 0.80

00:29:44.000 Because Kamala Harris has always known who she represents.

00:29:48.000 This campaign is about who we fight for.

00:29:53.000 We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead.

00:30:01.000 Where every senior can retire with dignity.

00:30:05.000 But Donald Trump wants to take our country backward.

00:30:09.000 To give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations and end the Affordable Care Act.

00:30:15.000 But we are not going back.

00:30:19.000 I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message.

00:30:22.000 And now remember, Barack Obama's 2012 campaign slogan was forward.

00:30:25.000 So when she says we're not going back, we're going forward.

00:30:27.000 That's the implication, obviously.

00:30:29.000 There's nothing in that ad about her actual political positions because she's incredibly radical. 1.00

00:30:34.000 She's incredibly radical. 0.95

00:30:36.000 In fact, here is the Donald Trump campaign ad that is now going out with about $12 million behind it in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin about Kamala Harris.

00:30:47.000 I'm Donald J. Trump, and I approve this message.

00:30:50.000 This is America's border czar, and she's failed us.

00:30:54.000 Under Harris, over 10 million illegally here.

00:30:57.000 A quarter of a million Americans dead from fetlor.

00:31:01.000 Brutal migrant crimes. 1.00

00:31:03.000 And ISIS now here.

00:31:05.000 Do you have any plans to visit the border?

00:31:08.000 You haven't been to the border.

00:31:09.000 And I haven't been to Europe.

00:31:10.000 I mean, I don't understand the point that you're making.

00:31:13.000 Kamala Harris.

00:31:14.000 Failed. 0.99

00:31:15.000 Weak.

00:31:16.000 Dangerously liberal. 0.74

00:31:18.000 That is right, that is right.

00:31:19.000 Also, the RNC has been using Dave McCormick's ad that puts together all of her far-left positions.

00:31:25.000 Republicans are going to hammer her on this. 1.00

00:31:27.000 And they should.

00:31:28.000 And they should.

00:31:29.000 Her oddities of personality, her weird quirks, all of that stuff is secondary to the fact that she is a far-left radical leftist who mirrors, but worse, all of the Biden policy preferences.

00:31:39.000 James Carville, who has been the only voice of reason in the Democratic Party this entire election cycle, he says she's going to get absolutely slaughtered on her positions.

00:31:49.000 There was no policy that anyone was pushing.

00:31:52.000 There was no particular group that was behind this.

00:31:55.000 It was just a general feeling that people wanted a different choice than Donald Trump and President Biden.

00:32:03.000 And they got it.

00:32:04.000 And there is some good. 0.99

00:32:06.000 Look, she's going to get slaughtered. 1.00

00:32:08.000 They're coming out. 0.99

00:32:09.000 They're coming.

00:32:10.000 And this is just part of that.

00:32:13.000 No different than it was any other time.

00:32:15.000 And they have got to get up and get ready, and they've got to be able to defend and attack at the same time.

00:32:21.000 There's going to be a time of struggle and definition as to who Vice President Harris is.

00:32:29.000 And here's the problem.

00:32:30.000 Vice President Harris has no core.

00:32:32.000 The only principles that she's held throughout her career are on the far left.

00:32:35.000 She pretends every so often to be non-progressive for political purposes.

00:32:39.000 So she did this when she was running for San Francisco D.A.

00:32:41.000 and then she did it again when she was running for Attorney General.

00:32:43.000 She pretended to be a moderate.

00:32:46.000 But, in the end, she is, in fact, a radical leftist.

00:32:49.000 And that is coming out purely and truly, even as she tries to walk back every single one of these positions.

00:32:55.000 We'll get to more on that in just a second.

00:33:14.000 Okay, meanwhile...

00:33:15.000 Kamala Harris is showing every single day that she is a radical and she's actually running away from her own positions in order to avoid it. 1.00

00:33:21.000 Even the New York Times is taking note today, quote, why the Kamala Harris of four years ago could haunt her in 2024. 0.66

00:33:27.000 She ran to the left as progressive ideas dominated the last competitive Democratic primary. 0.72

00:33:30.000 Now in a tough general election, Republicans are digging up her old stances. 1.00

00:33:34.000 Ooh, there's that Republican pouncing again.

00:33:37.000 Well, she is now moving away from pretty much every single thing she ever said on any issue with very few exceptions.

00:33:45.000 So, she had pledged to ban fracking, as we've talked about.

00:33:48.000 The Harris campaign then announced on Friday that she no longer wanted to ban fracking.

00:33:53.000 She's also changing her positions on a wide variety of issues.

00:33:57.000 Apparently, she now backs the Biden administration's budget request for increased funding for border enforcement, which she used to oppose.

00:34:03.000 No longer supports a single-payer health insurance program, because she said in 2020 she would abolish private health insurance.

00:34:09.000 And echoed Biden's call for banning assault weapons, but not a mandatory buyback requirement, which is what she had pushed in 2020. 0.69

00:34:16.000 So she is rejecting pretty much every position she ever took. 0.73

00:34:20.000 She's a flip-flopper, in other words. 1.00

00:34:22.000 She's a liar. 1.00

00:34:23.000 She's comma liar. 1.00

00:34:25.000 She's incredibly dishonest about all of her political positions. 1.00

00:34:29.000 Now there are a few that she's sticking to.

00:34:31.000 The few that she is sticking to are the union sops because she wants the union vote. 0.92

00:34:35.000 So that means that, for example, during her remarks at the American Federation of Teachers National Convention last week, Vice President Harris pledged to sign the freelance busting protecting the right to organize pro-act into law if elected this November.

00:34:49.000 The pro-act is a radical union act that effectively forces people to unionize.

00:34:57.000 It weakens right-to-work laws, which allow people to work without being members of the union.

00:35:03.000 It is the single most anti-worker act that Democrats have put up.

00:35:06.000 She's supporting that because, of course, she wants the unions in her pocket and she understands that Trump is a threat because many union members actually do not like Kamala Harris or Joe Biden.

00:35:14.000 She's also consistently to the left when it comes to Hamas.

00:35:17.000 When it comes to the Middle East, she has taken the position repeatedly.

00:35:21.000 That Israel is to blame for human rights atrocities and abuses and that diplomacy is the only answer to, for example, Hezbollah killing Druze children in the Golan Heights.

00:35:31.000 Amit Segal, who's a columnist in Israel, major political commentator in Israel, has a piece in the Wall Street Journal talking about what Kamala Harris just did last week when she did a press conference where she ripped into Israel.

00:35:43.000 He said, Vice President Kamala Harris became the de facto nominee and gave Hamas an important gift.

00:35:48.000 Never mind her childish boycott of Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress last Wednesday.

00:35:51.000 Why was it necessary to side with the Palestinian narrative that places the blame for the war on Israel?

00:35:57.000 She said, quote, we cannot look away in the face of these tragedies.

00:35:59.000 We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering.

00:36:01.000 I will not be silent.

00:36:02.000 This is a direct threat to Israel. 0.84

00:36:04.000 If it continues the war, a war the Biden-Harris administration itself supported and called just.

00:36:09.000 Ms.

00:36:09.000 Harris, as Amit Sehgal writes, in a recent interview said she was hearing stories about people in Gaza eating animal feed and grass.

00:36:15.000 He said she's apparently unaware that food prices are significantly lower than in Israel.

00:36:20.000 Is there any other war in the past century where one side regularly supplied food and goods to the enemy's civilians and been attacked by the White House for doing so?

00:36:28.000 Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris administration, which has turned into the Harris administration, let's just dispense with the pleasantries.

00:36:34.000 Joe Biden is no longer president of the United States.

00:36:36.000 He pretends to be president for the cameras because it would be humiliating for him to full-scale step down.

00:36:40.000 And they're going to let the old man live out his retirement fantasies.

00:36:44.000 Basically being irrelevant.

00:36:45.000 But in reality, this place is now run by Kamala Harris, who's assumed not just the presidential nominee mantle, but also the actual presidency of the United States without actually saying so.

00:36:55.000 The Biden administration said the worries about wider conflict between Israel and Hezbollah were exaggerated.

00:37:02.000 Which is an amazing statement, given the fact that, again, 12 children were just murdered by Hezbollah. 1.00

00:37:07.000 12 Druze Arab children were murdered by Hezbollah in the Golan Heights.

00:37:10.000 And the Biden administration's like, ah, why is that a big deal?

00:37:13.000 Who cares about that?

00:37:14.000 Who cares?

00:37:15.000 Meanwhile, members of the Harris team are trying to sell the idea that she's still pro-Israel. 0.97

00:37:20.000 This, of course, is ridiculous.

00:37:21.000 Scott Galloway tried to make that case. 0.99

00:37:23.000 Giant fail.

00:37:25.000 And here's the bottom line on Biden-Harris as it relates to Israel.

00:37:29.000 No one has been a more steadfast ally of Israel than Biden-Harris.

00:37:36.000 Within days of October 7th, Hamas was hoping to inspire a multi-front war. 0.75

00:37:41.000 The Biden-Harris administration immediately deployed two carrier strike forces and told Iran and its proxies to sit the f*** down.

00:37:50.000 Nobody has been stronger on Israel than Biden and Harris and all this tough, macho talk about the notion that finish the job.

00:38:00.000 Well, guess what?

00:38:01.000 In addition to winning this war, which we will, we need an enduring, lasting peace.

00:38:05.000 And who do you trust?

00:38:07.000 This is a joke.

00:38:09.000 This is a joke.

00:38:10.000 I'm sorry.

00:38:11.000 Ask the Israelis. 0.89

00:38:12.000 Literally everyone in Israeli politics knows this.

00:38:14.000 Everyone, left to right, is begging for Trump.

00:38:16.000 They are begging for Trump.

00:38:17.000 Biden has been awful for Israel.

00:38:19.000 He started off fine.

00:38:20.000 We talked about it at the time.

00:38:21.000 And then he quickly moved into the Palestinians are a suffering people who deserve their own state despite the fact that 80% of them support Hamas on October 7th. 0.65

00:38:29.000 He moved into that camp real fast.

00:38:30.000 They've been slow-walking actual weaponry in the middle of a war to an American ally fighting a terrorist group and demanding that the government of Israel be supplanted and that Hamas remain, effectively speaking.

00:38:41.000 Truly amazing stuff there.

00:38:43.000 And Harris is sticking to that left-wing policy.

00:38:45.000 Another area where she's apparently sticking close to the formal president of the United States is a new call to completely destroy the Supreme Court. 1.00

00:38:54.000 So, Joe Biden put out an op-ed in the Washington Post, clearly not written by him because he can no longer actually write words, in which he suggested that the Supreme Court has to be completely overthrown because they're doing things he doesn't like.

00:39:06.000 So, let's be real about this.

00:39:08.000 For my entire lifetime, and that of my parents, the Supreme Court has been, effectively, a left-wing tool of jurisprudence.

00:39:14.000 For about four years, it has not.

00:39:16.000 And immediately, the Democrats are like, hey, that institution, we should just completely burn it down.

00:39:21.000 So Joe Biden, he suggests a bunch of changes to the Supreme Court.

00:39:25.000 He wants a constitutional amendment called the No One is Above the Law Amendment.

00:39:28.000 It would make clear there's no immunity for crimes a former president committed while in office. 0.91

00:39:33.000 Now, that is ridiculous. 0.58

00:39:35.000 That's ridiculous because there has to be some immunity for the president of the United States. 0.93

00:39:39.000 Otherwise, Joe Biden will be brought up on many, many charges. 0.56

00:39:41.000 There are many things you could bring Joe Biden up on, from corruption to his prosecution of foreign policy that ends with dead Americans.

00:39:49.000 Then he says we have to have term limits for Supreme Court justices.

00:39:52.000 A rich odor coming from the rankly dead President of the United States.

00:39:58.000 His corpse is moldering and he's calling for term limits for people younger than he is.

00:40:03.000 Finally, he wants a binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court.

00:40:08.000 Implemented by whom?

00:40:09.000 Implemented by whom?

00:40:10.000 The executive?

00:40:11.000 Who we'll just invoke that to get rid of justices that he doesn't particularly like?

00:40:15.000 Here is Joe Biden trying to The court is not self-policing.

00:40:28.000 The court is not dealing with the obvious conflicts of interest.

00:40:32.000 We need a mandatory code of ethics for the Supreme Court, and we need it now.

00:40:38.000 My fellow Americans, based on all my experience, I'm certain we need these reforms.

00:40:45.000 We need these reforms to restore trust in the courts.

00:40:48.000 Preserve the system of checks and balances that are vital to our democracy.

00:40:53.000 None of this is going to happen. 0.93

00:40:54.000 All of it's ridiculous. 0.70

00:40:56.000 Biden is proposing it and Harris is backing it.

00:40:58.000 Here's a statement from Vice President Kamala Harris on Supreme Court reforms.

00:41:01.000 I point out at this point, Kamala Harris has done zero major interviews, zero since she was announced as the nominee last week.

00:41:08.000 It has been fully a week and a half.

00:41:10.000 Since Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala Harris effectively became the Democratic nominee, she has done zero press conferences, zero interviews, taken zero questions.

00:41:19.000 Instead, she's putting out formal statements.

00:41:21.000 She's running Joe Biden's basement strategy just with rallies.

00:41:24.000 It's a smart strategy because the more people see of her, the more they dislike her. 0.95

00:41:28.000 I'm amused by the idea that she's radically jumped in popularity.

00:41:31.000 Oh my god, she's so popular now. 0.95

00:41:32.000 No, she isn't.

00:41:33.000 She went from 35% popularity to 44% popularity.

00:41:37.000 I may not be amazing at math, but I do know that 44 is less than 50.

00:41:41.000 A majority of Americans still disapprove of Kamala Harris.

00:41:43.000 They don't like her all that much.

00:41:44.000 She put out a statement saying, quote, In the course of our nation's history, trust in the Supreme

00:41:48.000 Court of the United States has been critical to achieving equal justice under law. President

00:41:52.000 Biden and I strongly believe the American people must have confidence in the Supreme Court.

00:41:55.000 Yet today, there's a clear crisis of confidence facing the Supreme Court as its fairness has

00:41:58.000 been called into question after numerous ethics scandals and decision after decision overturning

00:42:02.000 longstanding precedent.

00:42:03.000 It's the last part that matters. They got a bunch of decisions they don't like. Therefore,

00:42:06.000 it's time to burn down the Supreme Court.

00:42:08.000 These are the people who say Donald Trump is a threat to democracy and the institutions, and they are ready to full-on burn down the Supreme Court because they didn't get what they wanted, like children who are taking their ball home after everybody else is playing with it.

00:42:20.000 That is why President Biden and I are calling on Congress to pass important reforms.

00:42:24.000 In our democracy, no one should be above the law, says Kamala Harris. 0.85

00:42:29.000 Just ridiculous. 0.99

00:42:30.000 Ridiculous stuff from Congress. 0.98

00:42:31.000 So again, she's just as radical As Joe Biden, she's more radical than Joe Biden in a wide variety of ways. 0.76

00:42:37.000 And that should be what Donald Trump is focusing on.

00:42:42.000 Now, I think Trump is doing that.

00:42:44.000 They are putting out ads to that effect.

00:42:45.000 One mistake that Trump could make here is playing into her shift in position.

00:42:50.000 The problem with Kamala Harris is that she's too far left, not that she is too far right on prosecuting criminals. 1.00

00:42:55.000 I understand that there are all these sort of weird, attractive targets that Republicans like from time to time.

00:43:00.000 Where we can point out Democrat hypocrisy and just point out the problem with Kamala Harris is not that she quote-unquote locked up too many black men like Tulsi Gabbard said. 0.83

00:43:09.000 The problem with Kamala Harris is she let out many, many criminals when she was the Attorney General of the state of California. 1.00

00:43:15.000 Thousands of criminals.

00:43:16.000 There was a massive lab failure in which a member of the crime lab in California was stealing cocaine from the actual evidence lockers And this tainted a bunch of cases.

00:43:28.000 Instead of her attempting to adjudicate those cases, because she presided over it, instead she just released all the criminals.

00:43:33.000 Check out our series, Scamala, available at Daily Wire Plus for all the details on that.

00:43:37.000 Donald Trump should not be steering down the, she was mean to black men routine here, because again, I think that that plays into her tough on crime nonsense.

00:43:48.000 She claims now she's tough.

00:43:49.000 She's tough on crime.

00:43:50.000 She was a tough prosecutor. 0.84

00:43:52.000 Never the borders are.

00:43:53.000 She was a bad prosecutor. 1.00

00:43:55.000 She was a prosecutor of black people. 0.99

00:43:59.000 She put thousands and thousands of black people in jail over marijuana. 0.99

00:44:06.000 But when it came to big crime, murders and everything else, she was weak. 0.98

00:44:12.000 Okay, that last part is the part he should focus on.

00:44:14.000 That's what he should focus on.

00:44:16.000 Because Kamala Harris, the radical, is a person no one wants to see as President of the United States. 1.00

00:44:21.000 Now, the Kamala Harris campaign is fighting back on the truth that she is a flip-flopping radical by attempting to present a moderate face via a VP pick. 1.00

00:44:30.000 That is probably why the frontrunners in the VP race right now for the Democrats are people like Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, who is widely perceived as a moderate from a swing state, or perhaps Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan.

00:44:42.000 They both tried to make their pitch for why they should be VP last night.

00:44:45.000 Here was Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.

00:44:46.000 He was making the case that Donald Trump is afraid to debate Kamala.

00:44:49.000 This is one of the most annoying lines.

00:44:50.000 It's super, super annoying.

00:44:52.000 Kamala Harris is now suggesting that Donald Trump is chicken because he's not agreeing to the same terms that he gave Joe Biden.

00:44:58.000 Now, I noticed that Joe Biden is not Kamala Harris.

00:45:01.000 One is an old dead white man and one is the brand spanking shiny new Democratic presidential nominee.

00:45:08.000 Obviously, you're not going to accept the same conditions because they are completely different candidates.

00:45:12.000 But the idea being promoted here by the Kamala Harris campaign and by her surrogates is that Donald Trump is somehow afraid of her.

00:45:18.000 He's not afraid of her.

00:45:19.000 He took a bullet to the ear.

00:45:20.000 I don't think that Donald Trump is afraid of much.

00:45:23.000 Donald Trump will debate her.

00:45:24.000 It'll be fascinating.

00:45:25.000 But here's Josh Shapiro trying to play this game. 1.00

00:45:29.000 He's not just afraid to debate her because he knows she's gonna kick his ass in the debate. 1.00

00:45:36.000 She is a skilled debater. 0.99

00:45:39.000 But he's afraid to debate her because he's afraid of his record.

00:45:44.000 He's afraid of having to defend a record that has been really dangerous and destructive.

00:45:53.000 So that's Josh Shapiro doing his audition.

00:45:55.000 Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, she did her audition as well, suggesting that we need everybody at the table, including cat lovers and dog lovers.

00:46:03.000 Again, this is the rip on JD Vance, it's the cat lady thing. 1.00

00:46:06.000 We're gonna try and stick this to him like toilet paper to a shoe walking out of a restroom.

00:46:10.000 Here we go.

00:46:12.000 Now I gotta take a minute to talk about the guy who joined us ticket a couple weeks ago.

00:46:19.000 Oh, you heard of him, did you?

00:46:22.000 J.D.

00:46:22.000 Vance, yeah.

00:46:24.000 He's really made his values clear lately.

00:46:27.000 He does not see women as equals.

00:46:30.000 He does not want everyone to have a seat at the table.

00:46:35.000 He's scared of us.

00:46:37.000 Because Democrats, we want everyone to have a seat at the table.

00:46:41.000 I mean, even cat lovers and dog lovers alike.

00:46:52.000 Again, she's auditioning.

00:46:53.000 If they're trying to drive out the single lady vote, then Gretchen Whitmer would be sort of the out-of-the-box pick. 1.00

00:46:58.000 A lot of people are saying Josh Shapiro.

00:46:59.000 Problem is that he's a Jew. 1.00

00:47:00.000 Democrats got a problem with that in this day and age.

00:47:03.000 So Gretchen Whitmer is a very likely VP pick, even though she's already said she doesn't want it.

00:47:07.000 She's the governor of Michigan.

00:47:08.000 She's clearly auditioning.

00:47:09.000 Michigan is a state that Kamala Harris has to win. 1.00

00:47:12.000 It's also a very competitive state because of its demographics.

00:47:14.000 Another candidate that they are thinking about is Tim Walz.

00:47:17.000 I do not think it'll be Tim Walz.

00:47:18.000 Tim Walz, I don't even know why he's being elevated at this point.

00:47:21.000 The Minnesota governor, he doesn't win her estate.

00:47:23.000 He's not a good governor.

00:47:25.000 Minnesota is a poorly governed state under Tim Walz.

00:47:27.000 Also, he has a bunch of statements in the past talking about the magic of socialism.

00:47:32.000 Don't ever, don't ever shy away from our progressive values.

00:47:35.000 One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness. 0.99

00:47:38.000 Just do the damn work. 0.99

00:47:42.000 One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness. 1.00

00:47:45.000 Well, I mean, killing the Kulaks is definitely a form of neighborliness, I suppose. 1.00

00:47:49.000 When you kill your neighbors, socialism is just neighborliness. 0.68

00:47:53.000 I do not think it'll be him.

00:47:54.000 Roy Cooper, the North Carolina governor, has pulled out of consideration as Harris' running mate.

00:48:00.000 So he was considered a high possibility.

00:48:03.000 The final three seem to be coming down right now to Mark Kelly in Arizona, the senator from Arizona, because it's a swing state.

00:48:10.000 As well as Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan.

00:48:11.000 There's been some weird talk about Senator Gary Peters.

00:48:13.000 I don't really see what that brings that Whitmer does not.

00:48:17.000 And Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania.

00:48:18.000 All of them attempts to moderate.

00:48:20.000 This is why I don't think Walz is gonna be the candidate.

00:48:21.000 Because, again, Kamala Harris has to lie about her positioning. 1.00

00:48:25.000 And Democrats have to keep saying weird over and over and over.

00:48:29.000 Because the reality is, as we spoke about yesterday, they're weird.

00:48:32.000 I'm sorry, Kamala Harris is weird. 1.00

00:48:35.000 Their program is weird.

00:48:37.000 This is a group of people who believe that there is no such thing worth upholding as the traditional family.

00:48:43.000 That all forms of lifestyle are equally moral and decent and good for society.

00:48:49.000 To the extent that Kamala Harris is appearing on RuPaul's Drag Race. 0.99

00:48:53.000 And they are talking about how it is perfectly normal, decent, and good to trans the children. 0.55

00:48:58.000 And we're supposed to believe the Republicans are weird.

00:48:59.000 The talking points went out.

00:49:01.000 Here's the idea, again, that Trump and Vance are weird.

00:49:04.000 When Kamala Harris is busily dancing it up with dudes wearing dresses. 1.00

00:49:09.000 As weird and creepy as J.D.

00:49:11.000 Vance.

00:49:11.000 Super weird idea from J.D.

00:49:15.000 Vance.

00:49:15.000 Yeah, it's not.

00:49:15.000 I mean, it's quite weird.

00:49:16.000 They're just plain weird.

00:49:17.000 Just plain weird.

00:49:19.000 Just plain weird.

00:49:20.000 That stuff is weird.

00:49:21.000 They come across weird and then they start being weird.

00:49:24.000 Yeah, they're weird.

00:49:25.000 Being a really weird.

00:49:26.000 He's such a weirdo. 1.00

00:49:27.000 Donald Trump and his weirdo running mate are weird. 0.99

00:49:29.000 Deeply and profoundly weird. 0.99

00:49:31.000 They are weird.

00:49:32.000 These Republicans just being weird.

00:49:33.000 It's just weird.

00:49:35.000 It's really weird.

00:49:35.000 Republican weirdness goes even deeper.

00:49:38.000 He said a lot of things that are weird.

00:49:40.000 The weird style that he brings.

00:49:44.000 So much weirdness, so much weirdness.

00:49:45.000 Hillary Clinton also tweeted out about weirdness.

00:49:47.000 She's one to talk.

00:49:49.000 Hillary the weirdo Clinton, quote, if Republican leaders don't enjoy being called weird, creepy, and controlling, they could try not being weird, creepy, and controlling, says the lady who went after all of the women that her husband stooped while he was president of the United States and governor of Arkansas. 0.84

00:50:04.000 When I think weird, creepy, and controlling, I definitely don't think of Hillary Clinton.

00:50:09.000 Look in the dictionary under weird, creepy, and controlling, and Hillary Clinton's picture appears next to all three.

00:50:15.000 Donald Trump is out in defense of J.D.

00:50:16.000 Vance.

00:50:17.000 He says what J.D.

00:50:18.000 is saying is pretty obvious.

00:50:19.000 He's just trying to defend families.

00:50:23.000 He loves family.

00:50:25.000 It's very important to him.

00:50:26.000 He grew up in a very interesting family situation, and he feels family is good.

00:50:32.000 And I don't think there's anything wrong in saying that.

00:50:35.000 Now, they took that as an indication that people that don't have families...

00:50:40.000 It's an easy opening, right?

00:50:42.000 Oh, it's so crazy.

00:50:43.000 But I know so many people, they never met the right person, male or female, they just never met the right person.

00:50:49.000 The Democrats are good at spinning things differently from what they were.

00:50:53.000 All he said is, he does like, I mean, for him, he likes family.

00:51:00.000 So that is the pitch that Trump is making.

00:51:01.000 The fact that he's on the defensive is a problem for Trump, obviously.

00:51:05.000 And now the media are on Vance because they can't be on Trump.

00:51:09.000 There's nothing for them to do about Trump.

00:51:10.000 Trump is what Trump is.

00:51:12.000 They are attempting to basically focus all of their ire and fire at J.D.

00:51:15.000 Vance because he's the Fresh Mate.

00:51:17.000 So they're now focusing in on apparently a report that he privately told donors that running against Vice President Harris instead of President Biden made the race more challenging, quote, all of us were hit with a little bit of a political sucker punch.

00:51:28.000 He said this July 21st, according to a recording of his remarks at a Saturday fundraiser in Minnesota.

00:51:32.000 The bad news is Kamala Harris does not have the same baggage as Joe Biden, because whatever we might have to say, Kamala is a lot younger and Kamala Harris is obviously not struggling in the same way that Joe Biden did.

00:51:42.000 Now, I love that this report leaves out, and the good news is, because I'm sure, whenever you say the bad news is blah, you always follow that up with, and the good news is, you know, the opposite.

00:51:50.000 They just leave that out.

00:51:52.000 You suggest that J.D.

00:51:52.000 Vance and Trump are afraid of Kamala Harris.

00:51:54.000 They should not be.

00:51:55.000 She is a, she is an eggshell candidate. 1.00

00:51:58.000 Eggshell skull candidate.

00:52:00.000 There's a term in tort law for a person who is uniquely vulnerable.

00:52:05.000 And the question is, in tort law, let's say that you're walking around, you're carrying a stick, you hit somebody who has, quote-unquote, an eggshell skull, that easily caves in.

00:52:13.000 Are you responsible for what happens to that person?

00:52:16.000 Okay, that is Kamala Harris as a candidate. 1.00

00:52:18.000 She's an eggshell skull candidate, meaning she is uniquely vulnerable to all of these charges, which is why she is running away from the media. 0.99

00:52:25.000 I mean, legitimately running away from the media.

00:52:28.000 Just an enormously fascinating exchange last night on the Twittersphere.

00:52:34.000 From a national political reporter for the Washington Post named Maeve Reston.

00:52:38.000 If Steve Peoples, who is the chief political reporter for AP said, Harris campaign is blocking reporters from talking to voters outside the press pen here at Whitmer Shapiro event in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

00:52:49.000 So they literally blocked reporters from talking to people.

00:52:51.000 Maeve Reston said, I can attest this is true.

00:52:53.000 Happened to me here too.

00:52:54.000 Lame.

00:52:54.000 I have a question.

00:52:56.000 Lame?

00:52:57.000 Okay, so if Donald Trump blocked you from doing basic political coverage, would that be lame or would you be calling him a fascist?

00:53:02.000 This is the way the media are with Kamala Harris.

00:53:04.000 I do not think it can last forever.
