00:00:56.440 Now, let's dive into Scamala, Kamala Harris unmasked, and see what the left doesn't want you to know.
00:01:03.640 Kamala Harris made history on January 20th, 2021, when she was sworn in as the first female vice president of the United States.
00:01:10.600 Upon her swearing in, she also became the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history and the first African-American and Asian-American vice president.
00:01:18.100 The mainstream media buzzed with praise and anticipation.
00:01:20.880 It was time for a reset on Kamala Harris.
00:01:23.080 History made. Vice President Kamala Harris presiding over the Senate.
00:01:27.600 The first woman, the first black woman, the first woman of South Asian descent to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
00:01:33.860 Of course, this is the first time we've had a woman vice president.
00:01:37.780 And as a consequence of that, when the president takes this routine step for presidents, when they undergo anesthesia,
00:01:44.080 she's going to be the first woman in American history to exercise or have the potential to exercise presidential power.
00:01:50.700 The New York Times posited that as the tie-breaking vote in an evenly split Senate, she would be a historic figure.
00:02:00.300 She'd also lead the way on a variety of issues, they reported.
00:02:02.460 She will bring to her history-making role at the White House an array of skills that Mr. Biden will draw on,
00:02:07.860 including the prosecutorial chops that she displayed in Senate Judiciary Committee hearings,
00:02:12.060 her personal energy that balances Mr. Biden's low-key approach, and the voice she will offer to women and people of color.
00:02:18.320 The Times further reported that Biden would not be tasking Kamala with any specific spheres of control.
00:02:22.880 Instead, she would serve as a governing partner to Mr. Biden on all of his top priorities.
00:02:27.760 If fulfilled, that mandate could make her among the most influential vice presidents in history.
00:02:32.860 But Kamala's vice presidency was destined to be a failure, a historic failure.
00:02:37.320 In fact, she was destined to become the least popular vice president in American history.
00:02:42.080 That unpopularity was the result of three factors.
00:02:44.540 First, the unpopularity of the administration she served.
00:02:47.660 Second, her own incompetence.
00:02:49.120 And third, her grating personality and irritating foibles.
00:02:52.200 Kamala's vice presidential tenure would be riddled with more gaffes, scandals, and failures
00:02:56.040 than all previous vice presidencies combined.
00:02:58.740 Her tenure began with problems surrounding COVID.
00:03:01.060 As a vice presidential candidate, she'd expressed skepticism about any potential vaccine developed under the Trump administration.
00:03:07.040 During her vice presidential debate with Mike Pence, she'd even rejected the vaccine outright.
00:03:10.900 If the doctors tell us that we should take it, I'll be the first in line to take it.
00:03:15.360 Absolutely.
00:03:15.780 But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.
00:03:19.480 Now, she was tasked with outreach to communities across America on the vaccine.
00:03:23.160 And she wasn't a particularly convincing saleswoman.
00:03:25.520 The community's power to heal, the community's power to do the work that we know must be done
00:03:33.860 in the spirit of what the Bible and everything else about life tells us about the importance of love thy neighbor.
00:03:42.920 Love thy neighbor.
00:03:44.280 And that truly is the spirit with which we are gathered today.
00:03:48.100 In March 2021, Kamala cast the tie-breaking vote on the so-called American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
00:03:53.680 Critics suggested that pouring trillions of dollars in stimulus spending into the economy would only further jog already high inflation.
00:04:00.280 Kamala instead celebrated the passage of the act.
00:04:02.880 The next year, she would also cast the tie-breaking vote for the so-called Inflation Reduction Act again, denying it would spur inflation despite its massive spending.
00:04:09.640 Prices have gone up and families and individuals are dealing with the realities of that bread costs more, that gas costs more.
00:04:24.780 And we have to understand what that means.
00:04:27.420 That's about the cost of living going up.
00:04:29.800 In March 2021, with a massive and unprecedented increase in illegal border crossings, Biden tasked Kamala with the unforgiving job of handling border issues.
00:04:38.140 There are many factors that lead president to leave these countries.
00:04:42.380 And while we are clear that people should not come to the border now, we also understand that we will enforce the law.
00:04:50.080 The administration has been facing criticism about conditions at facilities run by Customs and Border Protection.
00:04:56.360 CBP releasing this video shot last week inside a facility meant to hold 250 people.
00:05:01.820 Instead, there are close to 4,000 there.
00:05:04.060 The border situation would become, under the Biden administration and Kamala's watchful eye, the worst migration crisis in modern American history.
00:05:10.660 We'll get some more on that in a moment.
00:05:11.840 First, are you still struggling with back taxes or unfiled returns?
00:05:14.140 Nearly one in four Americans owe back taxes.
00:05:16.720 And the worst thing you can do is ignore the problem as penalties pile up, interest accumulates, and the IRS loses patience.

00:06:23.600 In fiscal year 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported over 1.7 million encounters with migrants at the southern border,
00:06:30.380 the highest annual total on record.
00:06:32.380 This figure represented a 374% increase from the approximately 458,000 encounters reported in fiscal year 2020.
00:06:40.280 In 2021, the number of unaccompanied minors apprehended at the border reached over 144,000,
00:06:45.580 straining the capacity of facilities designed to house them.
00:06:48.240 In some detention centers, children were held for an average of 120 hours, well beyond the 72-hour limit set by American law.
00:06:54.940 Children in cages, the supposed horror of the Trump administration, became commonplace under Joe Biden.
00:06:59.340 Cities nationwide were overwhelmed by the migration crisis.
00:07:02.600 Oh, it is a crisis.
00:07:03.620 Mike Johnston is one of five Democratic mayors recently writing President Biden,
00:07:08.620 saying action is needed to help cities address the crisis.
00:07:12.040 What's the one thing you want from the Biden administration right now?
00:07:15.240 When you admit someone for asylum into the country, they should get work authorization.
00:07:18.920 We should expedite the process of approving that application so it doesn't take four years.
00:07:23.060 It could take 30 days.
00:07:24.080 I'd like the city to actively proclaim that it is not a sanctuary city.
00:07:28.960 And Kamala did nothing.
00:07:30.900 Well, actually, she waited a few months, then traveled to Guatemala,
00:07:33.740 where she declared that she would be seeking to alleviate the root causes of migration.
00:07:37.560 If you want to deal with the effects of a problem, then you have to go to the core of what is causing it.
00:07:44.400 And so that is the approach we are taking.
00:07:46.160 When the president asked me to deal with this issue, it was about addressing the root causes of migration.
00:07:51.680 And the root causes are based on the problems and the challenges that people are facing in countries like Guatemala,
00:07:59.320 which is why I was there.
00:08:00.540 But it was her odd admonition to would-be migrants that drew attention.
00:08:03.320 I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border.
00:08:12.580 For the left, such a statement was heresy.
00:08:27.140 For the right, such a statement was merely empty talk.
00:08:29.600 Kamala, meanwhile, avoided the actual American border like the plague.
00:08:32.900 Seeking to avoid the awkward photo op of presiding over an open border,
00:08:36.120 she instead went on national television and lied about having visited the border,
00:08:39.160 and then was caught in that lie.
00:08:41.280 Here's an interview from June 2021.
00:08:43.020 There's one other topic I wanted to talk to you about, but let me just quickly put a button.
00:08:46.860 Do you have any plans to visit the border?
00:08:51.140 I'm here in Guatemala today at some point.
00:08:54.540 You know, we are going to the border.
00:08:57.620 We've been to the border.
00:08:58.920 So this whole thing about the border, we've been to the border.
00:09:03.580 We've been to the border.
00:09:04.760 You haven't been to the border.
00:09:06.660 And I haven't been to Europe.
00:09:08.240 And I mean, I don't understand the point that you're making.
00:09:12.300 The tone deafness, dishonesty, awkwardness were all patented Kamala.
00:09:16.560 By June 2021, Politico is running pieces openly speculating about the breakdown
00:09:20.420 of Kamala Harris's office, calling it rife with dissent.
00:09:23.680 Quote, there is dysfunction inside the VP's office,
00:09:26.120 aides and administration officials say, and it's emanating from the top.
00:09:29.600 As with her presidential campaign and then her vice presidential campaign,
00:09:32.700 Kamala's team was rudderless and chaotic.
00:09:34.500 Quote, Harris's team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication,
00:09:38.660 and diminished trust among aides and senior officials, Politico reported.
00:09:41.760 One staffer said, quote, people are thrown under the bus from the very top.
00:09:44.980 There are short fuses.
00:09:45.940 It's an abusive environment.
00:09:47.280 It's not a healthy environment, and people often feel mistreated.
00:09:49.820 It's not a place where people feel supported, but a place where people feel treated, like.
00:09:53.780 Kamala spokeswoman, Simone Sanders, ripped into the staff league, saying, quote,
00:09:57.000 we are not making rainbows and bunnies all day.
00:09:59.180 Months later, Sanders left for a job at MSNBC.
00:10:01.340 By November 2021, Kamala Harris carried a 28% approval rating,
00:10:05.920 an unheard of number for a vice president.
00:10:07.860 It had been well earned.
00:10:09.280 Kamala's team struck back in December 2021 against Joe Biden's White House.
00:10:13.680 In a December 23rd, 2021 piece, the New York Times reported that Kamala's allies
00:10:17.460 were frustrated at her treatment by the White House.
00:10:19.780 The problem was not Kamala's obvious incompetence and unlikability.
00:10:23.220 It was Joe Biden's refusal to grant her more of a stage.
00:10:26.180 Quote, according to interviews with more than two dozen White House officials,
00:10:29.140 political allies, elected officials, and former aides,
00:10:31.540 Ms. Harris is still struggling to define herself in the Biden White House
00:10:34.380 or meaningfully correct what she and her aides feel is an unfair perception
00:10:37.760 that she is adrift in the job, the Times reported.
00:10:40.600 Kamala denied involvement in the story.
00:10:42.660 Uh-huh.
00:10:43.520 As her vice presidency sank into the mire,
00:10:45.560 Kamala began to rely more and more on her intersectional credentials as a defense mechanism.
00:10:49.900 The Times piece reported that Kamala blamed her lack of popularity on,
00:10:53.260 wait for it, racism.
00:10:54.580 Quote, Ms. Harris has privately told her allies that the news coverage of her
00:10:57.780 would be different if she were any of her 48 predecessors
00:11:00.560 whom she has described as all White and male.
00:11:03.620 Kamala began to talk endlessly about equity,
00:11:05.840 the notion that inequality of outcome was the fault of systemic racism.
00:11:08.980 This had been a theme of Kamala's since the 2020 race.
00:11:11.660 In November 2020, just days before the election,
00:11:14.140 she had tweeted out this video explaining equity in a way that would make Karl Marx blush.
00:11:17.780 So there's a big difference between equality and equity.
00:11:21.560 Equality suggests, oh, everyone should get the same amount.
00:11:25.380 The problem with that, not everybody's starting out from the same place.
00:11:29.320 So if we're all getting the same amount, but you started out back there and I started out over here,
00:11:34.300 we could get the same amount, but you're still going to be that far back behind me.
00:11:37.200 It's about giving people the resources and the support they need
00:11:43.760 so that everyone can be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing.
00:11:50.400 Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.
00:12:00.800 But now racial equity became a theme of her vice presidency.
00:12:03.780 The days of top cop Kamala Harris were over.
00:12:25.100 She was now a full-fledged left-winger on matters of law and order.
00:12:27.600 Because you voted and said, hey, nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.
00:12:38.920 We're now dealing with that because you voted.
00:12:44.220 Kamala, in her desire to be loved, was leaving her supposed moderation in the rearview mirror
00:12:48.000 and pandering to the max.
00:12:49.460 Our Supreme Court is on the line.
00:12:51.240 Our basic freedoms are being tested, Madam BP.
00:12:54.080 Pete, I know you've been traveling across the country.
00:12:57.040 What are you hearing?
00:12:58.460 Yeah, girl, I'm out here in these streets.
00:13:00.220 And let me tell you, you're right, Taraji.
00:13:02.180 There is so much at stake in this moment.
00:13:04.640 The majority of us believe in freedom and equality.
00:13:09.160 But these extremists, as they say, they not like us.
00:13:13.240 No, they not.
00:13:14.240 In light of that last clip, Complex Magazine called Kamala's acting stint, quote,
00:13:17.800 unflinchingly corny, while comparing it to similar moments from 2016 Democratic presidential
00:13:22.280 candidate Hillary Clinton, quote,
00:13:24.120 If Hillary Clinton is the Ken Griffey Jr. of pandering, then it looks like Kamala is becoming
00:13:27.580 the Barry Bonds of it, the magazine wrote.
00:13:29.540 She also began playing up her feminist credentials, particularly in the aftermath of the Supreme
00:13:33.240 Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
00:13:36.100 Kamala leapt into action to declare her ardor for abortion.
00:13:38.560 This is a health care crisis, because understand, millions of women in America will go to bed
00:13:48.780 tonight without access to the health care and reproductive care that they had this morning.
00:13:57.660 This is the first time in the history of our nation that a constitutional right has been
00:14:06.820 taken from the people of America.
00:14:10.740 This would become a running theme for Kamala.
00:14:12.780 Kamala is defender of abortion.
00:14:14.560 But as usual, Kamala's defense was weird and confusing.
00:14:17.220 So everyone get ready for the language, uterus.
00:14:23.480 That part of the body needs a lot of medical care from time to time.
00:14:27.840 As the administration continued to decline in popularity, both Biden and Kamala began to
00:14:32.220 refocus on the argument that had won them power in the first place, the supposed evils of
00:14:36.080 Donald Trump.
00:14:36.800 On the first anniversary of January 6th, Kamala gave an absurd speech at the Capitol.
00:14:41.100 December 7th, 1941.
00:14:44.440 September 11th, 2001.
00:14:48.040 And January 6th, 2021.
00:14:51.260 This was a crazy comparison, but it was a theme she would continue to press to this very
00:14:55.420 moment.
00:14:55.960 I don't think it's hyperbolic to say this genuinely could be the last Democratic election
00:15:00.820 we ever have.
00:15:01.600 You're right.
00:15:02.520 Listen to what he says.
00:15:03.800 He's telling me, dictators aren't a dictator for one day, and then it's let the people
00:15:08.540 decide.
00:15:09.020 No, and I'm going to tell you, as vice president, I've now met with over 150 world leaders.
00:15:14.560 Presidents, prime ministers, chancellors, and capes.
00:15:17.720 World leaders have come up to me expressing their real concern.
00:15:21.800 None of it worked.
00:15:22.640 The biggest problem for Kamala wasn't, in the end, either Joe Biden's unpopular policies
00:15:26.400 or even her own political incompetence.
00:15:28.580 It was her bizarre, off-putting personality.
00:15:30.240 She became famous for her odd word salads.
00:15:33.520 We all watched the television coverage of just yesterday.
00:15:40.040 That's on top of everything else that we know and don't know yet, based on what we've
00:15:44.880 just been able to see.
00:15:45.920 And because we've seen it or not doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
00:15:48.840 But just limit it to what we have seen.
00:15:50.740 For us at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which
00:15:58.380 we exist and are present.
00:16:00.380 I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been.
00:16:04.320 You know?
00:16:04.860 Six former administration officials last week wrote that open letter urging the administration
00:16:09.860 to change course, to change strategy.
00:16:12.780 Is it time?
00:16:14.500 It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day.
00:16:21.220 Every day it is time for us to agree.
00:16:24.700 Kamala even lost The Daily Show with these gems.
00:16:26.500 It wasn't just the word salad, though.
00:16:53.900 It was Kamala's extreme inauthenticity.
00:16:55.740 Her supposed love for Venn diagrams, a love that apparently should be the subject of Homeric
00:17:00.460 odes.
00:17:00.940 Remember Venn diagrams, those three circles, right?
00:17:03.900 And then let's just see where they overlap.
00:17:05.840 You will not be surprised, because I have constructed a Venn diagram on this.
00:17:09.860 Remember those three circles, how they overlap?
00:17:11.940 I love Venn diagrams, so I just do.
00:17:15.800 Whenever you're dealing with conflict, pull out a Venn diagram, right?
00:17:19.480 And so, you know, the three circles.
00:17:21.100 Her supposedly passionate enjoyment of electric buses.
00:17:23.380 No exhaust, no diesel smell, the bus has Wi-Fi, and even USB outlets next to every seat.
00:17:34.620 I mean, come on, imagine, you can charge your phone on your way home from work.
00:17:39.740 That's good stuff.
00:17:41.380 Perhaps the most cringeworthy moment of her vice presidency was her explanation of space
00:17:45.020 to a group of supposedly awestruck schoolchildren.
00:17:50.020 Your next challenge is to find and meet the head of the Space Council.
00:17:54.160 I'll give you a hint.
00:17:55.580 She actually lives at the Naval Observatory.
00:17:58.540 I wonder who the head of the Space Council is.
00:18:02.780 Are you kidding?
00:18:03.620 The head of the Space Council is the vice president!
00:18:06.060 People and the smart people and the scientists and the engineers came up with the idea that
00:18:11.640 if you build something that looks like that, you can see the sun and you can see the moon,
00:18:16.080 right?
00:18:17.020 Well, wait till you guys see the moon.
00:18:18.600 I'm talking to you.
00:18:19.520 I just, I don't know what it is about those craters on the moon.
00:18:22.880 Hilariously, it turned out the school kids from the NASA video were child actors hired
00:18:26.860 by a company appropriately titled Sinking Ship Entertainment.
00:18:30.240 None of that stopped Kamala from further explorations of the magic of space, of course.
00:18:33.480 Space is exciting.
00:18:36.200 It spurs our imaginations.
00:18:39.880 And it forces us to ask big questions.
00:18:45.120 Space, it affects us all.
00:18:47.840 Strapped in to their seats and waited as the tanks beneath them filled with tens of thousands
00:18:55.420 of gallons of fuel.
00:18:58.040 And then they launched.
00:19:01.220 Yeah, they did.
00:19:06.120 Indeed, space appeared to have no limits between Kamala Harris's ears.
00:19:09.980 All of this could have been chalked up to a veep-like inability to communicate properly.
00:19:13.580 But as we've learned, Kamala Harris isn't just awkward.
00:19:16.220 She's a liar.
00:19:17.420 Nowhere has that mattered more than in the matter of Joe Biden's help.
00:19:20.160 It has been obvious to anyone with a functional brain that Joe Biden has been in a state of
00:19:24.060 severe physical and mental decline for at least three years.
00:19:26.460 That should have been most obvious to the vice president who stood beside him, carried his
00:19:30.320 water, made excuses for him.
00:19:32.220 But from the very beginning of her term, she has downplayed President Joe Biden's health
00:19:35.620 issues.
00:19:36.380 This wasn't done out of an innocent desire to spare Joe Biden's feelings.
00:19:39.500 This was lying.
00:19:40.760 It was deliberate falsehood.
00:19:42.420 For example, in an interview with Katie Couric, Kamala downplayed the age issue, stating that
00:19:46.340 critics had nothing to run on, suggesting that focusing on Biden's age was a sign of political
00:19:50.280 desperation.
00:19:50.960 This whole issue that they are raising about his age is, again, because they've got nothing
00:19:58.000 to run on.
00:19:59.220 When asked if she would be honest about the president's health if it started to go south,
00:20:02.520 she said this in November 2023.
00:20:04.300 If there ever is a problem, do you think that you could go tell the American public?
00:20:10.140 Do you think in your role that you're in a position to do that?
00:20:12.780 Of course, if necessary, but there's no need for that.
00:20:19.080 I don't, there is a political argument that is being made that is not based on substance.
00:20:26.140 And you're asking me to hypothesize around what are my duties to the American people as
00:20:32.220 vice president of the United States that are based on ethics and morals and the law.
00:20:36.620 I will always follow those rules.
00:20:38.980 But I am suggesting to you that it is important we not be seduced into one of the only arguments
00:20:45.980 that that side of the aisle has right now.
00:20:48.520 But of course, she was lying.
00:20:50.180 And in January, she kept on lying.
00:20:51.900 I spend a lot of time with Joe Biden, be it in the Oval Office or the Situation Room.
00:20:57.660 And I can tell you, this is someone who is tireless in terms of working on behalf of the
00:21:05.200 American people. To your point of knowing Joe Biden, he comes from a background and a place
00:21:12.060 in his heart and soul where he cares so deeply about working people, about families.
00:21:17.840 Just weeks later, when special counsel Robert Herr released a report clearing Joe Biden from
00:21:21.620 his handling classified documents based on Joe Biden being senile, Kamala ripped into Robert Herr.
00:21:26.460 What I saw that report last night, I believe, is as a former prosecutor,
00:21:36.000 the comments that were made by that prosecutor, gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate.
00:21:45.260 And of course, who could forget these awkward moments following Joe Biden's horrific
00:21:48.420 zombie-esque debate performance with Donald Trump?
00:21:50.660 Yes, there was a slow start, but it was a strong finish.
00:21:53.360 And what became very clear through the course of the night is that Joe Biden is fighting
00:21:58.800 on behalf of the American people, on substance, on policy, on performance.
00:22:04.740 Joe Biden is extraordinarily strong.
00:22:08.380 And that cannot be debated.
00:22:09.740 But I'm sorry, on substance and policy and performance tonight, I mean, the president's
00:22:13.280 performance tonight clearly was disappointing for his supporters.
00:22:17.640 CNN is reporting Democratic lawmakers watching the debate were worried about the
00:22:23.360 president's performance.
00:22:24.340 One said it was a disaster.
00:22:26.240 Another called it a train wreck.
00:22:27.920 Anderson, the point has to be performance in terms of what a president does.
00:22:35.140 A president who incites an insurrection against the Capitol.
00:22:39.100 No, but I got the point that you're making about a one and a half hour debate tonight.
00:22:44.300 I'm talking about three and a half years of performance in work that has been historic.
00:22:51.020 But is that the man who we saw on the stage tonight?
00:22:54.200 Is that the person you see in meetings every day?
00:22:57.560 Kamala's insistence on Biden's vitality, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary,
00:23:01.880 proved her complicity in hiding the true state of his health from the American public.
00:23:05.460 And there was a reason for that.
00:23:06.900 If Joe Biden could succeed in defeating Donald Trump again, he would almost certainly resign the
00:23:10.700 presidency during his second term if he didn't die in office first.
00:23:13.880 And then Kamala Harris would be president of the United States.
00:23:17.120 And this is where we now stand.
00:23:18.880 Whether Joe Biden drops out of the race or not,
00:23:21.100 Kamala Harris is the Democratic candidate for president of the United States.
00:23:24.620 She's incompetent, of course.
00:23:26.020 She's unlikable beyond a doubt.
00:23:27.400 But most of all, Kamala Harris is false.
00:23:29.780 She has been false nearly her entire life.
00:23:32.480 From dating a man twice her age for his political power,
00:23:35.300 to playing a tough-on-crime prosecutor for the cameras.
00:23:37.460 From covering up scandals as Attorney General of California,
00:23:40.700 to manufacturing scandals out of whole cloth as a senator.
00:23:43.920 From gaining the vice presidency by playing racial radical,
00:23:46.400 to seeking the presidency by covering up Joe Biden's infirmities.
00:23:49.720 Kamala Harris is a liar.
00:23:51.800 She is inauthentic.
00:23:53.180 And she demonstrates that inauthenticity every single day.
00:23:57.380 That's what lies behind the bizarre laughter,
00:23:59.520 the strange word salad, the obtuse slogans.
00:24:02.020 It's what lies behind her policy confusion,
00:24:04.040 the messiness of her campaigns, the incompetence of her office.
00:24:07.460 It's why she's the most unpopular vice president in American history.
00:24:11.560 All of it is a cover-up.
00:24:12.960 A cover-up for nothing.
00:24:15.140 Because, in the end, that is what is at the core of Kamala Harris.
00:24:19.760 Nothing.
00:24:20.700 She has no guiding principles.
00:24:22.020 She has no basic philosophy.
00:24:23.600 She has no actual beliefs or true agenda,
00:24:25.840 other than her own power.
00:24:27.520 She is what she always was.
00:24:29.500 Grasping, ambitious, power-hungry, and venal.
00:24:33.000 Kamala Harris is a scam artist.
00:24:34.620 And that scam artist is now a hair's breadth from the Oval Office,
00:24:37.880 where her incompetence and inauthenticity aren't just a problem.
00:24:40.980 They're a dangerous existential issue for the United States of America.
