00:03:33.000Staffers come in and mock roleplay the guests at the dinner party so she could sort of have a test dinner party, like a practice run before she has to go to the actual thing.
00:03:44.000Because even at this level, she's just so uncomfortable in her own skin.
00:03:48.000That's why she had to be vice president.
00:04:59.000Not much narrative, and you can make up for that if you have a really compelling message on like a platform, but she doesn't really have... She certainly doesn't have a challenger platform the way Trump did in 2016, and she doesn't have an incumbent platform.
00:05:15.000It's this big nothing burger, and I think...
00:05:18.000I almost want to go back and listen to it like there were so many awkward bits where it was like this was drafted by a committee and they were thinking we have to try to hit all these things otherwise it'll go bad for us so like it's baffling to me that she talked about the border like no one's going to buy that you're great on the border I'm sorry just don't don't do it because you're gonna like we're gonna fix the she brags like it's possible to Do you know both have a secure border and a humane immigration policy?
00:05:48.000Well apparently not because you guys have been president for four years and instead it's a giant meltdown.
00:05:53.000The other thing that's gonna stand out, the Israel-Palestine thing.
00:05:58.000Why did they even think they needed to mention that?
00:06:01.000I just think that was just inviting it to go badly and then they did it badly.
00:06:06.000I think if you were going to do it, just pick a side.
00:06:09.000Say you like Israel, maybe as a one-off.
00:06:13.000Placate that base and tell the radicals to poundstand.
00:06:20.000And instead she does the Israel thing.
00:06:24.000She tries to have her cake and eat it too!
00:06:25.000She pivots to, also Gaza, they're killing too many innocent people and I want self-determination for Palestine.
00:06:32.000That's gonna send a lot of people, you know, there are Israel hawks in the party and they're gonna come unglued about that one.
00:06:40.000And that is why, by the way, John Fetterman did not show up at the DNC was specifically on what you just said, because he is an Israel hawk.
00:06:48.000And he said, I don't like the way things are going.
00:06:50.000I don't like the way the party's moving.
00:07:37.000She tailored them specifically for illegals while they were here, Jack.
00:07:41.000Trump has a really good post right now where he's saying that if she wanted to, she could leave this speech right now, go to Washington D.C., announce that the border is going to be closed, announce that fracking will be allowed in Pennsylvania, and all of these things that she's complaining about.
00:08:07.000And I think he's previewing the way that he's going to be going after her and, you know, really just sticking it to her on these very basic questions.
00:08:16.000If you say you want these things, why not do them?
00:08:19.000And I thought the presentation was sloppy.
00:08:21.000I keep going back to that very sloppy presentation.
00:08:25.000This did not seem like something that was polished.
00:08:27.000I just compare and contrast her with Maya Harris, her sister, who went up there, who gave a speech that was high energy.
00:08:52.000This is what we're going to have, Charlie.
00:08:53.000This is what we're going to have is that the media is going to do everything they can to gaslight people about how wonderful and amazing her speech was.
00:09:03.000Yeah, I just want to read off some of these.
00:09:07.000I'll repeat what Andrew's been sending us.
00:17:15.000She acted like, you know, she was this outsider and that she was, you know, She was going to come and fix all these terrible problems, but you know, again, you have to defend the fact that you have been a vice president for three and a half years and you were in the Senate before that.
00:17:30.000And again, 12 of the last 16 years, Democrats have been in charge.
00:17:34.000What are you going to be doing that's any different than this?
00:17:38.000So I just felt like it was a complete dud.
00:17:40.000I felt like it was really, really missing the mark.
00:17:44.000I didn't think it was going to expand the tent at all.
00:17:46.000I felt like you didn't believe anything she was saying.
00:17:48.000So to hear CNN Be so bullish on what they heard.
00:17:53.000I mean, I'm literally more convinced than ever that the amount of free thinking away from regime talking points that the CNN panelists are able to do is approximately zero at this point.
00:18:04.000I think they were in on the Biden coup, they went hard, fast, and then first, and now they are circling the wagons to protect Kamala.
00:18:14.000So the other buried lead tonight is just how the neocons have completely taken over the Democrat Party.
00:18:21.000So we had Leon Panetta, Adam Kinzinger, and Leon Panetta was literally like, and we and the Democrat Party believe that America should defend democracy in every corner of the planet.
00:18:37.000Secondly, then you had Adam Kinzinger that says, the most important thing happening is our battle against Russia.
00:18:43.000And then Kamala Harris says, literally, she says, word for word, Blake, can you talk about this, this tweet you sent, that she's going to make it the most lethal fighting force on the planet, and that she's not afraid to use it?
00:18:53.000I mean, this is really terrifying, neocon, nation builder, warmongering stuff.
00:18:59.000The buried lead is how the Democrat Party went from the anti-war party to the loving war party, Blake.
00:19:04.000You know, Charlie, there's a former U.S.
00:19:07.000President who I think made a great point on this and he said, you know, the Cold War called and it wants its foreign policy back, Charlie.
00:22:37.000Actually, I have seen, just real quick on that, I have seen the DSA types, the far left types are just really, really upset with her comments about Israel.
00:22:49.000Disappointing, having a party that's supposed to be the voice for all people, constantly ignoring a whole group that are being killed.
00:23:40.000In 2008, John McCain was saying this, Russia's leaders, rich with oil wealth and corrupt with power, have rejected democratic ideals and the obligations of a responsible power.
00:23:50.000They invaded a small democratic neighbor to gain more control over the world's oil supply.
00:26:19.000I mean, her administration has been giving America the business for the past three and a half years.
00:26:25.000You could tell where she switched, though.
00:26:26.000Like, somewhere she went from, like, oh, this is kind of cool, like, they really love me, to, all right, I'm a little irritated and annoyed, and I don't know how to take this, and please sit the hell down.
00:26:36.000Our booking at the venue expires at 1130.
00:26:40.000Well, the fire marshal was trying to talk about, like, they gave out too many passes, so he was talking about, like, shutting it down or something.
00:26:47.000I guess not everyone's above the law, but yeah, she just seemed like Frustrated, irritated, and angry.
00:26:58.000You could tell, you could tell like by the, I don't know.
00:27:00.000You know what I instantly thought of when I was watching this was those reports from some of her other like office cultures that she had sort of cultivated, right?
00:27:10.000Where they weren't allowed to look at her and she was known for swearing a lot and berating her staff and just being a total bully.
00:28:07.000My experience listening to Kamala Harris began when tonight's host of the convention, Kerry Washington, said to me, would you like to meet the female Obama?
00:28:19.000This was in 2009 in the first months of the Obama presidency.
00:28:24.000And it's one of those moments that it's clearly a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
00:28:29.000I was sitting there realizing I am seeing the first black woman president, no question about it.
00:28:44.000But I'm telling you... They had these lines written before the speech.
00:28:47.000Of course, because to your point, Jack, I thought the same thing when I was listening to CNN on the way over here.
00:28:54.000Instantly, Jake Tapper's first go-to line, pulled it out of the bag, and if you can get it, Ryan, please do.
00:29:01.000The instant reaction was, you have to go back to 2008 to see a speech like this, and maybe, if at all, in the history of convention speeches.
00:29:14.000I mean, Jack, I think you are spot on that people got the memo and we are to liken this woman to Barack Obama.
00:29:21.000And what did I say right at the beginning, Charlie, in our chat?
00:29:24.000I said, one thing is for sure, she ain't no Barack Obama.
00:29:27.000Because Barack Obama, hate him as you may, and full of abstractions, nails on a chalkboard to me now, he still has a cool, calm, kind of suave delivery that is objectively much more pleasant to listen to than what we just heard tonight.
00:31:17.000You didn't talk about child trafficking that she's allowed to happen because she was the border czar and she presided over the weakest border in the history of our country.
00:32:06.000We have an AI made a transcript of the speech, so I'm reading through it.
00:32:08.000And just, I'm looking at her mention of the border, and what she says is, you know, I know the importance, because I was in law enforcement, I was a prosecutor, I know the importance of safety and security, especially at our border, and she says, you know, blah blah blah, there was the bipartisan border bill, Trump killed it, and her border plan is, I will bring it back, and she says, you know, we can reform our broken immigration system, and what is unspoken here And of course she's not going to mention it, but I am and I'm annoyed is, okay Kamala, you want to fix the system, great.
00:32:38.000Why are things so much worse right now than they were four years ago?
00:32:45.000Why are they so much worse now than they were on January 21st, 2021 when you and your running mate took office in Washington DC?
00:32:58.000It requires you to have, like, a self-lobotomy to go through Kamala's speech and not notice all the ways to just avoid speaking the unspoken truth that things have gone to hell in a handbasket in the last four years.
00:33:13.000Oh, I visited Ukraine five days before Russia attacked.
00:33:17.000Yeah, and Russia attacked, and she says, oh, Trump, he abandoned our allies and he encouraged Putin to invade them.
00:33:34.000She's banking on the idea that America will not notice that she's in office right now and that all of the problems she's vowing to fix are problems that began or got substantially worse during this U.S.
00:33:51.000And can we talk about their counter to this?
00:33:53.000And Jack, I feel like you and Blake will probably have the best memories on this, but their attack line on this, and Kamala reiterated it tonight, she said, we passed the strongest border measure in history and Trump didn't want to pass it because it was bad for his campaign.
00:34:13.000That law, that bill, was a flaming turd of a border bill.
00:34:18.000It basically mandated that we were going to have about 1.8 million illegal crossings every year.
00:36:22.000He said, this reminds me of Nixon v. Kennedy in 1960, where Nixon won on all the points, but Kennedy got all the pizzazz and he had all of the vibes.
00:36:31.000And he says, it's not that people don't always care about the issues.
00:36:34.000Trump is about issues and borders and issue.
00:36:37.000We can make fun of all this stuff and all the vibes, but judging where the culture currently is, will this ultimately be successful for Kamala?
00:36:46.000Has America become cynical enough after COVID, after everything, to maybe shake off a little bit of this propaganda?
00:36:53.000Do we have antibodies to regime propaganda, Andrew?
00:36:57.000Yeah, I mean, you know, I was checking myself on last night's stream to make sure I wasn't, you know, absorbing a dose of copium myself, and there's a lot of different things, a lot of different reasons why I don't think, why this is effective, why her speech was effective, and why we have, I think that's well said, we have antibodies to this.
00:37:17.000I'm one of those people that Obama used to sound Hopeful and change.
00:37:22.000That stuff worked on me when I was younger.
00:37:24.000Maybe it's just me getting a little bit older, but, you know, it's nails on a chalkboard now.
00:37:29.000I will also say that having talked to a bunch of reporters, they're convinced that the white vote is going to come back in on our side, and then you, Charlie, you've brought this point up before many times, that we're gonna see that boomer vote really shore up for Donald Trump.
00:37:46.000I just don't think that this vibe, this social media, this brat, whatever it
00:37:51.000is, is going to play with them nearly as well. That being said, it's going to be a dogfight and
00:38:37.000That 3% dip in the white vote alone was the difference in the election.
00:38:41.000With all the shenanigans, everything else included, now you pile on the fact that she is just fundamentally a worse candidate than Basically, any modern Democrat candidate that we've seen, she's no JFK.
00:38:54.000That's certainly true, if you're going to go back to the 60s.
00:38:57.000But also, we do have this immunity, and we do have X, right?
00:39:01.000So there's a lot of counter forces that we're able to put out there.
00:39:05.000And I just, I go back to something I said last night, Donald Trump has built a movement over the course of nine years.
00:39:24.000Let's get to her actually doing a couple sit-down interviews and putting out more policy.
00:39:28.000And I think we're gonna see everything come back down to earth.
00:39:31.000I feel very strong and very bullish actually after this DNC.
00:39:36.000Let's play a cut 194 of President Trump on Fox.
00:39:41.000She said that she, hi there, she is promising middle class tax cuts and she says that if you are elected, it will cost Americans $3,900 more a year in increased taxes.
00:39:55.000She's tying all of that to this Project 2025.
00:39:57.000That's where that number is coming from.
00:40:33.000Um, I don't want to spend too much time on it, but I love Heritage, I love Dr. Roberts, but I gotta be honest, this thing just will not die.
00:40:40.000It's like, either own it, or get away from it, I just... Blake, what went wrong with that whole thing?
00:40:44.000They came out with a binder of Project 2025, repeatedly.
00:40:49.000I think the biggest problem with it was that, as opposed to... I don't think it was unserious, but instead of exclusively being, how do we maximize the effectiveness of an ex-Trump term, it was a means to an end, and that end was, get lots of attention and money to Heritage right now.
00:41:07.000And so they're doing all of this to get attention on themselves, to make it seem like, oh, we're
00:41:13.000the brain trust behind the Trump operation.
00:41:16.000It's all very, it was short term focused.
00:41:18.000It was a way to raise money in the here and now.
00:41:22.000A Democrat organization, what they would do is, and this is admittedly a thing they can
00:41:25.000do because they have more money, they would go to some billionaires and say, let's just
00:41:51.000And then we would learn about this in some Time Magazine article, you know, two years into the administration, and it'll just be, the secret story of how President Harris was able to get so much done so quickly.
00:42:08.000And instead, this was, it was like, It was like they were going on national TV beforehand and hyping it all up, and it's unfortunate it went that way, and it was super obvious that the Democrats would seize upon this as a way to run against it.
00:42:26.000Yeah, and you bring up something that I think is important, and Charlie, you know this better than anybody.
00:42:31.000The way that Democrat money flows, it's within a network, it happens in a back room, they sort of divvy up the pie, and it goes out secretly.
00:42:40.000Whereas conservatives have to sort of compete out in the open.
00:43:01.000Conservatives have to sort of let the world know, hey, we're doing X, Y, and Z, and it actually is a fundamental disadvantage.
00:43:07.000And Blake, you've called that out, I think, well.
00:43:10.000And I think Heritage is probably fell victim to that, just sort of the way the right functions where they had to promote and publicize something that wasn't necessarily connected to the administration.
00:43:23.000Now, there are good ideas in Project 2025, but it's not Trump's platform.
00:43:28.000And he apparently disagrees with quite a bit because he felt the need to sort of And the fact that they don't bring that up is just, again, Orwellian.
00:43:39.000There's so much Orwellian in this DNC.
00:43:41.000Yeah, like, a comparison for Project 2025 might be if, like, you know, if you're a sports fan.
00:43:48.000Like, let's say Charlie got really excited for Oregon's next football season, and so he did Project 2025, and he's like, here's all the players Oregon should recruit, and here's what they should do with their offense, and here's what all their coaches should do.
00:44:33.000And let's just be honest, just for whatever reason, It just resonates to normies and lefties as, like, as if it's the Manhattan Project.
00:44:44.000Just the way it comes across and it hits, it just, you know what I mean?
00:44:48.000It just sounds like, ooh, Project 2020.
00:44:49.000You know, it's just, it has a element from branding where it seems as if there's something sinister and they're not being true about who they actually are, which of course is the Democrats, right?
00:45:00.000This entire convention was actually what they say we're doing.
00:45:03.000The entire convention They did not once talk about mutilating trannies.
00:45:08.000Do you notice how de-emphasized the gay stuff was, guys?
00:45:58.000So, I mean, Real America's Voice and Rumble are two of the most important things.
00:46:04.000Let me just finish the thought really quick, though, is that the Democrats did not go up and they said, do you know why we are really proud of the Democrat Party?
00:46:11.000Because in California, if you're an 11-year-old, you can get a mastectomy without telling your parents.
00:46:21.000Did anyone go up and say, and do you know what makes Minnesota great?
00:46:24.000If you're an illegal, you can get taxpayer-funded tuition.
00:46:30.000Did they go in and they said, you know what makes us so great as Democrats?
00:46:34.000That in Chicago, over 50 people are shot on a weekend.
00:46:39.000They did not own any of the policies that are most fundamental to the core of the Democrat Party.
00:46:45.000Blake, do you want to contribute to that?
00:46:47.000Just, speaking of the gaslighting thing, she says in her speech about halfway through, she says, Donald Trump's explicit intent is to jail his political opponents.
00:47:00.000Well, and there was that Michigan lawmaker who said the same, that Donald Trump is going to weaponize the Justice Department to settle scores God forbid!
00:47:10.000The lack of self-awareness, or actually just the brazenness with which you're willing to say something so untrue, is really a new era of Democrat politics, of modern American politics.
00:47:24.000And then to see the media just carry its water, carry the Democrat Party's water, is truly something to behold.
00:47:35.000You sort of always it's easy to critique the media and then you know we often say you don't hate them enough and this is like one of those moments where you're like the truth is so easy so You know, simple to comprehend and ascertain in this instance.
00:47:51.000You guys all consume the media just as much as we do.
00:47:55.000And yet they refuse to acknowledge what is true.
00:47:58.000And so, I mean, I cheer every time I hear about one of these outlets laying off people because I think genuinely we're at this point where it's good for the country.
00:48:13.000There have been 53 people shot in Chicago so far this week, and there are two days left in the week to go, according to HeyJackAss, which is a great site.
00:48:22.000And that's what the West Side largely shut down, so they're doing the shooting somewhere else.
00:48:26.000They can shut down the most murderous neighborhoods for the convention, but the shooting goes elsewhere.
00:48:33.000So, okay, email is freedom at charliekirk.com going to members.charliekirk.com.
00:49:16.000I was willing to do CNN with Joe Biden, and you saw what happened there.
00:49:21.000I mean, CNN does not treat me or Republicans very good.
00:49:25.000But I was willing to do it because it was the only way I could get to debate him and ask him how that turned out.
00:49:35.000Very little mention of Joe Biden tonight.
00:49:37.000Very, very little mention of who actually the President of the United States is.
00:49:40.000The op they're trying to run, we've said it before, is they're trying to convince you that they're currently not in control of the country.
00:49:45.000They're trying to redo 2020 where they're acting like Donald Trump is the current President of the United States.
00:49:50.000That Donald Trump is actually currently in charge of the country.
00:49:56.000They are trying to make it seem like she's some insurgent, some upstart, some... CNN was calling her the underdog and really playing this up, and I mean, I just find it completely offensive.
00:50:09.000You know, and then this other thing that we were talking about in our chat is how we all got opt with this special guest.
00:50:15.000I mean, if it was just a giant gimmick and we got played, That's a really telling aspect of the night, that they were willing to sort of just leak out a complete lie just to get more eyeballs on the speech because people were like, oh, is Taylor Swift coming?
00:51:33.000We have our own Obama at home, and they just roll out Kamala for you.
00:51:38.000You can just imagine like Harry Sisson and that Parker Short guy just like in tears realizing they didn't get to dance to Beyonce or Taylor Swift.
00:53:41.000Taiwan is a little island and China is a big country and China is... There's water all around it.
00:53:51.000Alright, so Paulie Market is down 2% tonight for Trump.
00:53:55.000He's still up 51.47%, but if that's the big DNC bump for Kamala based on the betting markets, then to your point, Blake, I think we're gonna... This could have been a lot worse.
00:54:08.000I mean, frankly, this whole night, this whole production, the DNC, Charlie, we said it, you know, she got this big Kamala momentum bump right after the announcement that she was top of the ticket.
00:54:20.000And we said, listen, there's going to be some bad polls between now and the DNC.
00:54:24.000We've got to weather this storm and then close hard.
00:54:28.000I'll be honest, I expected this to be worse.
00:54:29.000I would say on Monday, looking at polymarket over time, on Monday it was Harris 51, Trump 47, and over four days they switched places.
00:55:27.000Jack, Charlie, I'd love your feedback on this.
00:55:29.000But I just don't see the same quality of talent within the Democrat ranks, the bench if you will, that I do within the Republican circles.
00:55:38.000The fact that we have somebody as talented, as articulate as J.D.
00:55:42.000Vance, yes they're attacking him, yes they're smearing him, but they would have done that to anybody that Trump chose as his VP, whether it was Marco Rubio or whatever.
00:55:50.000uh... but the fact that we have a jd vance in the ranks of that we have a
00:55:53.000marco rubio who at whose views more and more i tend to agree with these become much more
00:55:59.000domestic focus much more populist right uh... but the list goes on i mean that the rnc was a was a
00:56:05.000uh... we were spoilt for choice with how much talent we have on our bench
00:56:09.000and the Democrats, I mean, you're putting up Mike Waltz or Tim Waltz as your as your
00:59:18.000Interesting that it does seem like the protests have ramped back up tonight.
00:59:23.000A sort of final crescendo from a protesting standpoint as well.
00:59:27.000Jack, are you hearing anything from sort of our team that's in the field about if it's actually ramping up or if this is just a few hot spots?
01:00:07.000And it was getting, it was, you know, the police came out, and the police have been, you know, pretty forceful here, but... Yeah, so, so we were hearing... And pretty strong throughout all of it, but... Jack, I'm wondering if your sources confirm this.
01:00:18.000Yeah, they're like under the L. I'm wondering if your sources confirm this, but we spoke with... Does that work, guys?
01:00:39.000There's a whole bunch of gizmos here that I've never heard.
01:00:43.000There's live views and sound busters and monkey keys and transponders and an axle rod.
01:00:51.000And I've never heard of these things before.
01:00:54.000Well, we're glad to have you back, Charlie.
01:00:57.000We were just commenting on the protesters, and we spoke with William J. Kelly, who's a very famous reporter in the Chicagoland area, and he was saying there was a dirty deal that was made between Brandon Johnson and the protesters.
01:01:12.000And so I think there was sort of a handshake deal that said, hey, we're not going to stop you.
01:02:35.000... rhetoric, a speech with many many shots across the bow of Donald Trump, her opponent, and a speech in which she sought to portray herself as a credible commander-in-chief.
01:02:47.000Patriotic, firm, confident, and credible.
01:04:56.000They don't want to hear Kamala Harris scream like an out-of-control wine mom about how she's gonna, you know, invade Russia if they dare, you know, say a bad tweet about us or something.
01:05:07.000Actually, on that note, a little bit of a white pill, Charlie.
01:05:11.000We were looking at your TikTok numbers, and Ryan, if you can pull some of those numbers up so I make sure I get them right, but the Charlie Kirk Show TikTok has reached, in the last however many what was it, three months or something? 176 million people.
01:05:46.000There was nobody else on that plane even talking about the DNC.
01:05:51.000There was nobody on their phone trying to catch clips of the DNC.
01:05:54.000I'm sure a lot of them will pick it up later or see clips on social media or whatever.
01:05:58.000But there was no... I sort of expected it to be like the World Series and you look across the plane or the Super Bowl and everybody's watching the DNC.
01:07:47.000There was a couple of the- Hillary did mention it, right?
01:07:50.000But it wasn't, it was a much, much of a, it was a de-emphasis from where it was in 2016,
01:07:58.000from this idea that, and so Charlie, this is going back to what we were talking about before,
01:08:02.000white working class men, that they know that that's where you saw the emphasis.
01:08:07.000You saw the emphasis where them going over the top and having like, you know, Tim Walz's football team from like 25 years ago or something is like dancing around on stage with them.
01:08:18.000and veterans, again, the Hicklib stuff, the Yellowstoning stuff,
01:08:23.000but you didn't hear in 2016, eight years ago, the last time they ran a female candidate,
01:16:18.000You just imagine Joe Biden was getting his B12 shot and his whole cocktail, you know, getting ready for his speeches.
01:16:24.000Meanwhile, Kamala's in the side room just throwing back a few white wines.
01:16:28.000It does fit, but I, you know, it's a...
01:16:32.000Andrew, you're a wine guy, so you might know this better than me, because I got a text earlier tonight that said that her go-to is something called Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru.
01:16:45.000That white wine is like her, it's like her, from Burgundy, it's like her number one go-to wine.
01:16:50.000Might be a little out of my price point, but yeah.
01:17:36.000I mean, the media is going full Pravda and it will be a problem if they're just, they're basically tipping their hand that they are so committed to Kamala being president that they have foregone any objectivity or any sober, rational, speaking of sobriety.
01:20:32.000Nora, I am on the convention floor, but that floor is now covered up to my waist in balloons.
01:20:37.000I think the confetti's in the air, the big balloons are flying, and the 2024 Democratic National Convention is definitely in the books, and people are loving it down here.
01:20:48.000Chuck Schumer, was he dancing, was he prancing?
01:20:53.000We've got cheers, we've got a certain underwater quality as people dodge the balloons, a certain concert quality as people wait and enjoy the music.
01:21:03.000And I will leave the reviewing of the content to you, but the emotion and the feeling down here is... I don't know.
01:21:11.000Seven-year-old's birthday party is how I would put it.
01:21:13.000There is joy and there's not a lot of thinking.
01:21:22.000Well I'm literally reading, this is how, I'm not making this up, this is how NPR Congressional Editor Deirdre Walsh wrote about Kamala Harris- Sherman!
01:21:33.000Kamala Harris speaking in 2020 to the DNC in 2020.
01:21:38.000Speaking, Harris introduced herself and began to prosecute the case against Trump, with some political observers already setting expectations that this national introduction could determine the success or failure of a future Harris presidential campaign.
01:21:53.000Harris faced the test of connecting with people who were taking a first look and energizing those in the Democratic base who have been less than enthusiastic about Biden.
01:22:03.000Harris received national attention for her debate performance during her primary run, but this was the first time many Americans heard about her mother and father, immigrants from India and Jamaica, respectively.
01:22:19.000She's never given a real convention speech before.
01:22:22.000So that's how much of a bank... That was the backbencher of backbenchers.
01:22:27.000She's never... Like Obama did the 04 speech before he was elected Senate, and then he gets in, and then he's there for two years, then he runs.
01:22:36.000Or excuse me, he runs in 06, and then he's there for two years.
01:22:39.000And then she's never actually given, I guess that means she didn't speak in 08,
01:22:44.000she didn't speak in 12, and she didn't even speak in 16.
01:22:48.000And then 2020, when she's nominated for Vice President, who, as Joe Biden has said, she was there because she was a DEI hire and Amy Klobuchar was his original choice, by the way, that, you know, she spoke to an empty room on like a live stream.
01:23:02.000And this was the first big convention speech she's ever done.
01:23:34.000But but those are the type of moments that you remember where you were at and you know for Rachel Maddow to just throw it out like a very subpar speech.
01:23:46.000I'm telling you they are going to go all in.
01:23:49.000All in on getting this woman, this flash-in-the-pan, vapid, substantless woman across the finish line.
01:24:11.000The world was headed down a path, and then, out of nowhere, Kamala Harris appeared, and with the power of her rhetoric, diverted the course of history down a different path.
