00:02:03.000I mean, Kamala Harris's track record when it comes to crime is absolutely abysmal.
00:02:07.000It's one of the reasons that San Francisco, her home city, is really in the midst of a total collapse.
00:02:13.000And it's why California, one of the main reasons California has been in decline for some years now.
00:02:19.000You know, you just summed it up, that when you look at what has caused this crisis of crime, rampant crime in California, It's the prosecutors failing to prosecute, it's the laws that don't hold people accountable, and it's the lack of support and funding for police.
00:02:35.000And in her roles as District Attorney, in her role as Attorney General, and certainly in her role since then, she has been at the center of all three of those causes.
00:02:43.000Yes, so Kevin, what is your response then to the narrative that she was really tough on crime and she locked up a bunch of people and streets were safe under Kamala Harris?
00:02:55.000I mean, just look at what she herself said like a few years ago when she was running for president in her own book.
00:03:01.000She called herself a progressive prosecutor.
00:03:03.000And that's the idea that really, you know, the role of the prosecutor is not one of holding people accountable or keeping our streets safe.
00:03:11.000It's more of some ideological or social engineering project aimed more at, you know, achieving these social justice objectives.
00:03:21.000This isn't some, you know, attack from the other side.
00:03:26.000so-called progressive prosecutor model that has really taken off since she was a district attorney
00:03:33.000of San Francisco. In fact, her successor, who was appointed by Gavin Newsom on his way out the door
00:03:38.000as mayor, was George Gascon, who became the ultimate Soros-backed progressive prosecutor,
00:03:45.000who has not only helped to ruin San Francisco, but then also is now the DA of Los Angeles.
00:03:52.000She can try to reverse that narrative however she'd like, but just go and walk through the
00:03:56.000streets of San Francisco. Look at what's happening in that city. Look at the chaos
00:04:01.000that you encountered in what was once the most beautiful cities in the United States. In fact,
00:04:05.000San Francisco is currently losing people faster than any major city in the U.S.
00:04:10.000history, and it was the reckless criminal justice policies of Kamala Harris that helped to set that downward spiral in motion.
00:04:17.000Okay, so help me understand, I want to reiterate this, that Harris paved the way for California to become a sanctuary state, writing a letter to Congress opposing the Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act.
00:04:28.000That's a great tweet, Blake, by the way, we should say that.
00:04:30.000That she was, while she was Attorney General, she wanted Congress to prioritize sanctuary cities.
00:04:37.000Tell us more about Prop 47, what did that do and what impact did it have on California?
00:06:29.000And it's very important to understand she is a radical through and through, and she barely won her attorney general's race.
00:06:37.000So, Kevin, we are in this bitter race right now where we're still trying to educate the rest of the country on who she actually is.
00:06:45.000And a vision of President Kamala Harris would be letting violent illegals roam free because she'll consider them non-violent?
00:06:52.000Is that a fair summary based on her record?
00:06:54.000I think that is a more than fair summary because she said, number one, we shouldn't consider this a criminal offense.
00:07:00.000Number two, she has fought for to preserve and expand sanctuary policies.
00:07:05.000And number three, she has blatantly mischaracterized some of the most ghastly, heinous crimes as nonviolent.
00:07:11.000And to your first point about this going national, I mean, this is what Harris herself has said.
00:07:16.000In 2018, when she endorsed Gavin Newsom for governor, she said that she said, She said, California leadership is about national leadership.
00:07:23.000What we do here is a role model of what can be done around the country.
00:07:28.000So again, this isn't some, you know, attack ad or something going after Harris saying she's going to turn the rest of the country into California.
00:07:35.000That's what she has said in her own words.
00:07:37.000So the California cabal, can you speak more to that?
00:07:41.000Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, can you speak about that and the damage they've done to the country and your advice on how to best stop them?
00:07:49.000Well, it's really, I mean, San Francisco in a lot of ways.
00:07:51.000When you look at Newsom, Harris, Pelosi, they all come from San Francisco, which as we were talking about earlier, is a city that is in such dire straits that even CNN did a special last year, an hour long special asking what happened to San Francisco?
00:08:07.000How did this city get so turned upside down?
00:12:21.000But the base of the Democrat Party hates Israel, and they don't love the fact that a Jewish American who loves Israel might end up being the Vice President.
00:12:32.000The base of the Democratic Party are full of Jew-haters.
00:12:37.000Rashida Tlaib, Ilan Omar, Jew-hatred is in vogue in the base of the Democrat Party.
00:12:43.000So as Josh Shapiro is being floated, It seems as if the announcement wanted to happen over the weekend, but there was a little bit of a pullback because the base of the party started to explode about the fact that a Jew might end up become the Vice President.
00:13:00.000And I don't say that in a derogatory way.
00:13:01.000The Democrats were the ones that were freaking out about it.
00:13:49.000Walls might help the Harris campaign in Wisconsin, because Minnesota and Wisconsin are basically one state and the same over their eastern and western border.
00:18:26.000So, of course, right now we're seeing military conflicts increasing across the globe, and this report has found what the DoD has been focusing on.
00:18:35.000We've seen that the Department of Defense has been focusing on expanding and pushing the diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda, the DEI agenda.
00:18:42.000So what we've outlined is four different contracts between the DoD and various different private sector or academic institutions, and we found that the DoD has been preparing to deal with, quote, Yeah, so talk about the implications here.
00:18:56.000agenda and it's been consulting with a number of different organizations, some of which
00:19:00.000have been involved in building anti-white and anti-male DEI job pipelines into our Department
00:19:07.000Yeah, so talk about the implications here.
00:19:10.000So do we know exactly what white fatigue is?
00:19:14.000Well, the RAND Corporation authored this report and it was discussing various different ways
00:19:18.000in which they could push DEI throughout the department.
00:19:22.000And one of the things that it warned against was various different forms of resistance to the DEI agenda, and one of the terms that they used was white fatigue.
00:19:30.000They said that this is part of the backlash to the DEI agenda and of course there has been quite a lot of backlash, quite a lot of resistance to DEI.
00:19:38.000They're dubbing this white fatigue and of course it's rather reminiscent of what one general said was a white rage.
00:19:44.000There's obviously a racial focus in the DOD and critics that I spoke to said that they're concerned that we are exchanging military readiness and instead prioritizing a race-based ideology that's captured our institutions.
00:19:58.000So yeah, you mentioned race and sex-based hiring.
00:20:09.000And what this university was tasked with doing was creating a pipeline for STEM jobs that could then pipeline people into the DoD for the science, technology, engineering, and math fields.
00:21:03.000We've seen this at a whole host of different institutions—Oracle, Apple.
00:21:07.000But to see it coming from our Department of Defense, to see it being funded with our taxpayer dollars is another story altogether.
00:21:14.000Of course, right now, we've got critics saying that if you do not prioritize competency, you're going to compromise the ability of an organization to persist.
00:21:22.000And we're seeing this happen right now when we have several wars raging across the globe.
00:21:26.000Of course, we've got increased tensions in the Middle East just as early as today and yesterday.
00:21:30.000And meanwhile, we've got DOD that is spending our taxpayer dollars Making sure that people who do not come from the supposedly correct racial and sex backgrounds do not get these job opportunities within our government.
00:21:46.000The Department of Defense has nearly a trillion dollar budget.
00:21:49.000They are funneling money towards anti-white, anti-male, these DEI type programs.
00:21:56.000Do you have any understanding that Republicans on Capitol Hill are going to stop this from continuing?
00:22:01.000Because Republicans are the ones that have to authorize these budgets.
00:22:05.000Yeah, we've seen some pushback from Republicans on these funding bills in recent years.
00:22:09.000We've seen DEI, this is something that really the Harris-Biden administration has gone full bore into, especially ever since 2020 when they first came into office.
00:22:19.000We've seen a slew of different executive orders pushing DEI and the Department of Defense
00:22:24.000in our Director of National Intelligence's office, which has really gone completely in
00:22:29.000the direction of DEI and various different agencies.
00:22:32.000But you're right, it's yet to be seen if Republicans will be able to stop this agenda.
00:22:37.000Of course, we've got an election coming up where some consequential action could be taken
00:22:41.000And people are warning that if we do not put, if we do not abolish DEI, if we do not get rid of these race and sex-based requirements, we could really, could see something catastrophic in the future.
00:22:52.000So help me understand, then, military preparedness and readiness.
00:22:56.000What does your report show on how this money actually makes us more prepared to fight a kinetic war, God forbid?
00:23:04.000I mean, we know that these are ideologies that have been inculcated in left-wing institutions, left-wing academia for several decades, and now it's making its way into our most important institutions.
00:23:18.000And we press on this question all the time.
00:23:20.000We press on, is this something that actually increases our warfighting capability?
00:23:25.000And various people with extensive military backgrounds tell us that it absolutely does not increase it.
00:23:32.000But we've been told that this is a military imperative.
00:23:36.000We've been told that this is something that is critical to our national security.
00:23:39.000We really haven't been given explanations as to why discriminating against certain groups of people on the basis of their race, their sex, is necessary for our national defense.
00:23:47.000And I think a lot of people are still asking that question, but we're not getting much in the way of answers.
00:23:51.000So this seems like a no-brainer for us to stop and prevent if we are serious about fixing our problems in this country as far as... I mean, again, we talked about how wokeism has infected all our institutions.
00:24:08.000The Democrats have been pushing for this for quite some time as if they want to continue to slam, they want to continue to shrink these organizations' ability to function for some sort of progressive-type revolution.
00:24:21.000You write in the piece, Joe Biden signed multiple executive orders institutionalizing the left-wing
00:24:26.000doctrine and his federal agencies and has even worked to enable gender transition attempts
00:24:31.000among government employees, barring the use of biologically accurate pronouns in the process.
00:24:35.000There was another note I received this morning from a top-level military official, which is this,
00:24:43.000quote, the conventional US military is not nearly as good as we assume.
00:24:47.000The Navy and Air Force have terrible readiness.
00:24:50.000Operational readiness of F-35 is around 29%.
00:24:53.000USN, which I believe is US Navy Maintenance and Damage Control Prep is appalling.
00:24:59.000We lose multiple billions of dollars LHA ship to a fire while pier side in San Diego.
00:25:05.000It took the crew 1.5 hours to get the first water on the fire.
00:25:08.000I won't bore you with all the details.
00:25:09.000advantage and cost has run circles around our procurement and leadership.
00:25:14.000Our rank-and-file will pay dearly due to this corruption and competency of
00:25:18.000our military and political leadership. I won't bore you with all the details, it
00:25:23.000is horrendous. But I'm sure DEI will fix all this, right Spencer? Well one of the
00:25:28.000things that's really startling is that we've seen DEI be pushed in a number of
00:25:30.000different ways in a number of different institutions.
00:25:32.000So this report focuses on some of these outside attempts, the contracting outside organizations to push DEI.
00:25:38.000We know that this push has also happened internally, and not just in the military.
00:25:42.000We've seen it throughout the Director of the National Intelligence as well, of course, another critical aspect of our national security apparatus.
00:25:49.000And it's something that has various different organizations within each branch of the military. And we had a report not too long ago about
00:25:55.000the National Security Agency, the NSA, with a DEI, I believe it was a 37-page DEI document that
00:26:02.000explicitly cited critical race theorists like Robin DiAngelo, warned against white fragility
00:26:07.000and white privilege, discussed transgenderism. So we've seen these ideologies that so many
00:26:13.000Americans regard as completely radical and extreme, that used to be the domains of some of
00:26:19.000these left-wing institutions and left-wing academics. And now we've seen that quite literally the most
00:26:22.000And now we've seen that quite literally the most powerful people within this country,
00:26:24.000powerful people within this country, those in our military and those within our national
00:26:26.000those in our military and those within our national security and intelligence apparatuses,
00:26:29.000security and intelligence apparatuses, are not just contracting with outside organizations to push
00:26:31.000are not just contracting with outside organizations to push this left-wing ideology. They're actually
00:26:36.000embracing it themselves to the point of creating DEI glossaries, DEI newsletters to get sent out
00:26:42.000quarterly in the office of the director of national intelligence. And really, again,
00:26:46.000these critics are saying that this is something that will fundamentally cripple our ability to
00:26:51.000gather intelligence or to win these wars. And we'll see if Republicans have what it takes to
00:26:56.000stop this, to quelch DEI and to banish it from our institutions. Yeah, just so we are clear,
00:27:03.000we have made the military a project of the diversity, equity, inclusion, cancer.
00:27:08.000We have made the Secret Service a product of the diversity, equity, inclusion cancer, which nearly killed President Trump.
00:27:14.000There is nothing too important to spare from the DEI rot, but we need to have the willingness to pull out the DEI cancer, the tumor, and to say, no more.
00:27:23.000We are not going to have this mass social experiment occurring within our treasured institutions.
00:27:33.000This is one of the critical issues heading into this election.
00:27:36.000It's something that voters certainly have on their mind because DEI, it's affecting our most cherished and most important institutions, but it's also hitting people right at home.
00:27:45.000We know that corporations throughout the country have been discriminating against people on the base of their race and sex, namely men and white people.
00:27:52.000And we've seen that academic institutions have been doing the very same thing.
00:27:55.000So people are experiencing it in their day-to-day lives.
00:27:58.000They're seeing it throughout institutions.
00:29:20.000Get their 6-piece kitchen and bath towel set for only $25, the brand new mattress topper for as low as $69.98, and their famous MyPillow bed sheets for as low as $25 and so, so much more.

00:31:36.000It's two issues related to the Vice President.
00:31:39.000Something I've made, a point I've made here repeatedly, Is people assume that if you've run for statewide office and won, particularly in a competitive state, if you've been a senator or vice president, that you've been vetted at a level sufficient that there are no more surprises coming.
00:31:55.000We saw over the weekend that that's not true regarding the vice president and her husband.
00:31:59.000We saw that, and again, just the story is this.
00:32:00.000Doug Emhoff's ex-wife responds after Second Gentleman admitted to an affair with a nanny.
00:32:05.000And it's a really disgusting story, but he's not running for president, so I'm gonna kind of just not emphasize it that much.
00:32:11.000He's just the side piece in this whole kind of relationship.
00:32:15.000And so he apparently impregnated the nanny and what got her allegedly to get an abortion.
00:32:21.000I don't know if that's totally true, but there's some obscure reporting there.
00:32:24.000He acknowledged it, but apparently there is more coming.
00:32:28.000But of course, when Kamala Harris was running in the primary, she was vetted.
00:32:32.000Oh, she didn't have to run in a primary.
00:32:35.000She didn't have to win over delegates.
00:32:37.000There's going to be more coming on the history of Kamala Harris.
00:32:40.000I can tell you that on very good authority.
00:32:45.000This is someone who ran as a California communist and has been largely untouched by the national media.
00:32:51.000It doesn't matter if you win California by 30 points in the presidential election, but voters in Pennsylvania They are not going to like a cackling California communist to parachute in and tell them how they should run the country.
00:33:04.000This is a 50-50 race right now, and objectively there are some things working in Donald Trump's favor.
00:33:09.000He is better on the economy, and the more the market collapses, the more that is in Donald Trump's favor.
00:33:15.000The map is narrower for Trump in a good way.
00:33:19.000Meaning that Donald Trump just has to win one out of the Rust Belt states.
