Kamala Harris's support among Black voters is cratering, but the campaign has a plan to win them back. Also, the media runs with an outlandish and obviously fake story about Donald Trump, Eminem hits the campaign trail and threatens to make literally no impact at all, and Liz Cheney says that we should be looking for a president who would make a good babysitter.
00:02:32.880And with each hour that passed, especially in the overnight hours, Donald Trump's lead slowly trickled away until finally the media declared that Joe Biden had emerged victorious.
00:02:42.300What followed was widespread suspicion of election fraud, January 6th, a lot of lawsuits, and so on.
00:02:48.400And whatever you think of the results themselves, this is a clear failure of our government.
00:02:52.480Their job is to ensure that elections are beyond reproach.
00:02:56.340The appearance of fairness is almost as important as actual fairness.
00:03:00.340And that clearly didn't happen four years ago.
00:03:03.160Now, to quell the outrage that unfolded after the race, the race was called for Joe Biden.
00:03:07.220Democrats came up with an explanation for what had occurred.
00:03:10.480They stated that it was completely foreseeable that Trump's lead would dissipate, then vanish over several days.
00:03:15.860And the reason they said that it made sense is that in key states like Pennsylvania, all of the votes weren't counted on Election Day.
00:03:24.420They told us that as counties east of the Appalachian Mountains reported their results, it was only natural for Joe Biden's lead to continue to grow.
00:03:32.460Democrats said that there was no cause for alarm here because when you look at the demographics of the late reporting counties, it all makes sense.
00:03:40.900Those counties included cities like Philadelphia and Atlanta, which have very large black populations and black voters in every presidential election in memory, have always turned out in very large numbers for the Democrat.
00:03:52.000Therefore, they said there's nothing to see here.
00:04:03.600Now, as we head into the final days of the 2024 presidential election, it's becoming clear that this excuse probably won't work this time around.
00:04:14.720They won't be able to say with a straight face that late reporting counties and majority black areas all broke for Kamala Harris by 90% at the last minute.
00:04:23.380And that's because Kamala Harris's support among black voters, according to every major poll, is collapsing.
00:04:29.980Everyone admits this, admits that it's happening.
00:05:00.740And then you take a look at the average of the most recent polls, and Kamala Harris is up by only 41 points.
00:05:06.660That is about half the margin that Obama won them by back in November of 2012.
00:05:11.660And this, I think, is, you know, when Barack Obama goes in last week when he was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, essentially talking to young black men, he made it seem like it was a Kamala Harris-specific problem.
00:12:17.680And that's the group that I'm going after.
00:12:19.380So this is the person that Kamala is relying on to scold black men, a pastor who wants to turn his churches into literal marijuana farms where they talk about sex toys.
00:12:31.560This is the quality of surrogate that she now has.
00:12:35.340CNN asked Stacey Abrams about Jamal Bryant's comments because you see Stacey Abrams, unlike Donald Trump, is allowed to claim that all of her election losses are illegitimate.
00:12:45.080So CNN still pretends to take her seriously.
00:12:47.140And in this interview, Abrams basically agreed with what the pastor said.
00:12:51.920Well, they didn't bring up the sex toys and weed farms, although Stacey Abrams is an erotic fiction author, so we can fill in the blanks there anyway.
00:14:05.960And she refuses to be told that she has lost a cohort, lost a community, simply because she's different.
00:14:13.040The best candidates recognize that you win by meeting people where they are.
00:14:16.700And Kamala Harris is doing that every single day, and will keep doing it for the next 14 days until we get to Election Day.
00:14:23.340So this is a refrain we're hearing again and again from Kamala's defenders.
00:14:26.500They are lashing out at black men and only black men for failing to support Kamala, not really going after Hispanics or even white guys.
00:14:33.420I think because they've chalked white guys up to a, you know, they've just given up.
00:14:36.200Like, that's not going to happen, and they know it.
00:14:38.540So this is maybe the first time in the history of the modern Democrat Party that they're leaving all these other demographic groups alone in terms of the scolding for now.
00:14:48.280It doesn't happen very often, but that's what they're going with.
00:14:50.980And it's hard to imagine a more counterproductive strategy with under two weeks until the election.
00:14:55.600I mean, let's just assume that everything they're saying is true and that there's an unusually large number of black men out there who are skeptical of electing a female president solely on the basis of the fact that she's a woman.
00:15:07.820I don't buy that, but let's just say that it's true.
00:15:11.280Well, the way to convince those people that a woman can lead this country is not to badger them.
00:15:20.120If they're skeptical of women leaders and your response is to be like a nagging wife,
00:15:26.200all you're doing is reinforcing every stereotype and negative perception in their minds.
00:15:34.900What you should do if you really think there's a critical mass of black men who are hesitant to vote for a woman is to actually respond to their concerns.
00:15:42.420Explain to them why Kamala is deserving of their respect, even though it's true that various authoritarians and foreign adversaries probably won't treat her with any kind of respect.
00:15:52.000In fact, still explain all the ways that Kamala has demonstrated leadership and projected toughness so that these voters can rest assured that they're leaving the country in capable hands.
00:16:02.860And if you're not able to explain that, which of course you aren't, then that probably tells you the problem.
00:16:07.340None of Kamala's surrogates can do that because they know that Kamala Harris isn't capable of projecting toughness.
00:16:13.300She's not capable of projecting a coherent thought other than the idea that she grew up in a middle class family and worked at a McDonald's somewhere,
00:16:20.180even though there's no record of either of those things occurring.
00:17:11.140There is it's almost like public opinion hasn't caught up with what she is doing out there.
00:17:16.160And also we live in a country that is sexist and racist.
00:17:19.160So, like, there is that not everybody at all.
00:17:21.740But there is a level of it that does impact election.
00:17:26.320Now, if you do what none of those these surrogates want to do and you actually talk to black voters, you'll find that they happen to have the same concerns that other demographic groups have.
00:17:35.820They're worried that Kamala is unqualified.
00:17:39.460They think she'd be bad for the economy and and and which are the main concerns of every other every other group of people that are hesitant to vote for her.
00:17:58.280There was a couple of men we spoke to who felt like she was too tough on the black community when she was the D.A. in California and that that really turned them off.
00:24:46.180Ever said this thing about, you know, burying an effing Mexican.
00:24:49.020But even without those denials, any intelligent person knows this is BS, okay?
00:24:55.220Nobody would say what Trump has claimed to have said here.
00:24:58.160Once again, Trump's enemies hate him so much that they can't even make up plausible lies about him.
00:25:04.240Like, if you wanted to make up a more plausible lie, maybe you would claim that Trump offered to pay for the funeral expenses,
00:25:09.380but then later expressed dismay about how expensive it was and, you know, made some kind of comment about how the funeral industry rips people off.
00:25:18.460Now, I don't think that he would say that or did say that, but, you know, it's slightly more, like, it doesn't go the extra mile to make it outlandish.
00:25:28.980And it wouldn't be any kind of scandal if he did say that.
00:25:33.720But they go, you know, they go much further than that.
00:25:36.140And instead they claim that he said that it doesn't cost that much to bury an effing Mexican.
00:25:40.020Which is the kind of comment that a bad fiction writer would have their villain say.
00:25:48.080And these corporate media journalists are bad fiction writers and Trump is their villain.
00:25:52.040And so this is the kind of dialogue you get from these people.
00:25:58.360Like, what does her being Hispanic have to do with the funeral cost?
00:26:02.660Like, are we supposed to believe that Trump thought that funeral costs are staggered depending on the ethnicity of the people involved?
00:26:09.460And, again, these people hate Trump so much that they can't think clearly enough to make the lie more plausible.
00:26:17.460Like, they didn't even claim that it was, like, they could have claimed that he said, oh, it doesn't cost that much to effing bury someone.
00:26:36.880And Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, who's the guy that was supposedly there and that Trump talked to and said, you know, I'm not going to pay it.
00:26:45.260But he's come out on the record and said that never happened.
00:26:52.020Defense officials who were, defense official who was present at the meeting discussing the soldier's funeral said Trump said nothing of the sort and only asked about making sure the funeral was paid for and that Millie had aides there who may have planted the Atlantic story.
00:27:04.400Meanwhile, also, the sister of Vanessa, the sister of the victim, has come out and condemned the Atlantic story and the journalists who are playing politics with her sister's death.
00:27:17.120And she said that Trump was nothing but supportive and kind to her.
00:27:20.080So, once again, we have the outlandish story about Trump saying or doing something awful with no on-the-record sources.
00:27:30.800And then you have on-the-record sources who are coming out with their name attached to it and saying, I was there, that didn't happen.
00:27:38.160In this case, you also have the family of the victim saying, like, stop it, cut this out.
00:27:47.800And, you know, as a general, even leaving aside how outlandish the claim is, I'm always going to believe, like, when you have one side with no on-the-record sources,
00:28:03.760when you have one side making a claim and we don't know who the claim is coming from because no one's putting their name to it,
00:28:09.240and then you've got another side saying the opposite, but they have their name attached and they're saying, I was there, here's, this is me, this is my name, I was there, here's what actually happened.
00:28:20.880In that case, of course, you're always going to, the logical and rational thing in a situation like that is always to believe the side that is willing to put their name on it.
00:28:31.940And, especially in this case, when it's something like this and it's like, okay, if that actually happened and he really said that, then why are you being anonymous?
00:29:00.640If it actually happened and everybody in the room knows that it happened, then why wouldn't you proudly come out as the one person who's willing to speak out against this horrible thing that was said?
00:29:13.000All right, Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with NBC News and I thought this part was pretty astounding.
00:29:42.860I'm asking you to define yourself, though.
00:29:44.480Just broadly speaking, what is your value?
00:29:46.620Do you believe they should have that access?
00:29:48.180I believe that people, as the law states, even on this issue about federal law, that that is a decision that doctors will make in terms of what is medically necessary.
00:29:59.020I'm not going to put myself in the position of a doctor.
00:30:00.880But let's also understand that Donald Trump is running tens of millions of dollars in ads to talk about two cases to distract from the fact that his policy and plan is also to take away the Affordable Care Act,
00:30:19.220which provides health care for tens of millions of people in our country, that his plan is to undo the cap, the $35 a month cap on insulin that impacts millions of seniors in our country,
00:30:34.620that his plan is to do away with the $2,000 cap on prescription medication, the annual cap, that his plan is to get rid of the Department of Education, which would mean getting rid of Head Start,
00:30:47.220that his plan is to give tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations and on the backs of middle class working people.
00:30:55.120So let's not get distracted by the issues that, to your point, from the introductory point you raised, people want to know that their president has a plan to make their life better.
00:31:10.400And that includes addressing, bringing down the cost of living.
00:31:14.140It includes dealing with prescription medication costs.
00:34:17.060So it's not, it's in a state of collapse.
00:34:23.040But that doesn't mean, you know, we can't look at, that doesn't mean that, that doesn't predict exactly what's going to happen in the future.
00:34:31.540What I'm talking about is right now, the state of things right now, the state of play right now, is just a total disaster.
00:34:41.020It's an absolute disaster for the pro-trans movement, for the trans activists.
00:34:46.000And what it shows is that our counter-strike against the trans agenda, our metaphorical counter-strike against the trans agenda has been devastatingly effective.
00:35:04.540We have made it so that the most liberal presidential candidate in history does not want to go near the issue with a 10-feet pole, 10-foot pole.
00:35:38.840And so, and you have some conservatives that, you know, they're so used to losing, they're almost like addicted to it.
00:35:46.180And so they don't even want to, whenever a win comes along, they don't want to acknowledge it.
00:35:49.660And so, and I said this, when I said this on Twitter last night, I got some responses from people, basically, like, kind of upset that I'm saying we won.
00:36:00.140Because they don't want to acknowledge that we won on anything.
00:36:02.760And I think for some of them, it's like, there's some conservatives who really had nothing to do with the win.
00:53:52.880But again, the responsibilities are very different.
00:53:55.220A president is focused on large-scale problems.
00:53:58.260A babysitter should be focused on problems in really the smallest and most personal scale.
00:54:04.980How many of the great presidents and leaders of history, whether they were president or not, were former babysitters?
00:54:14.020How many of them would have made good babysitters?
00:54:17.860Teddy Roosevelt was a great leader, but I'd probably prefer some random 22-year-old woman as a babysitter over him.
00:54:24.960Likewise, I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable going out to dinner with my wife and leaving Winston Churchill or George Washington or Julius Caesar in charge of the kids for the evening.
00:54:36.260Those men can lead armies and countries and empires.
00:55:08.020In fact, my 11-year-old daughter isn't old enough to babysit by herself at this age, but she is very good at taking care of her younger siblings.
00:55:15.560Is she qualified to be president at this point?
00:55:18.900I mean, more than Kamala Harris, yeah, I'd vote for her over Kamala Harris.
00:55:24.440So I probably spent more time debunking this point than was necessary.
00:55:26.900But it is important because it shows that the Kamala campaign doesn't understand, even in theory, what sort of qualities are necessary to lead a country.
00:55:39.720Of course, there's been an effort for decades now to turn our political leaders into glorified nannies.
00:55:44.640That's why they call it the nanny state.
00:55:48.820And now they're taking it very literally, which is bad for the country, but it does make Doug Emhoff pretty excited.
00:55:55.720And that is why Liz Cheney and I guess Doug Emhoff are today canceled.
