The Megyn Kelly Show - Kamala's Embarrassing ＂Call Her Daddy＂ Moment, and Trump's Powerful Return to Butler, with Andrew Klavan ｜ Ep. 909

00:00:00.460 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

00:00:11.940 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:00:15.560 I want to start today with the total abandonment of American women. 1.00

00:00:19.120 Total abandonment.

00:00:21.740 Honestly, this press corps couldn't give two craps about the actual state of American women today. 0.99

00:00:29.060 What they care about is that you can kill a baby in utero. 0.99

00:00:34.500 Beyond that, they have absolutely no use for women. 1.00

00:00:38.360 That's where I want to start today, after what I've witnessed this weekend around Kamala Harris and her absurd media behavior.

00:00:47.560 Now, currently the media is enjoying a round of girl boss moments. 0.98

00:00:51.340 Have you checked anything on the web today?

00:00:54.500 What a girl boss Kamala Harris is. 1.00

00:00:56.980 As a result of her decision to appear on the podcast, Call Her Daddy. 0.98

00:01:01.760 Which normally traffics in shows entitled, quote, F me with a dildo, end quote. 0.86

00:01:06.720 Not kidding.

00:01:07.720 But this weekend decided that presidential politics may in fact be their thing.

00:01:12.780 It isn't.

00:01:14.800 It isn't.

00:01:15.860 It was an utter fail. 0.95

00:01:17.000 Well, I like I'm so, you know, I don't know shit about sports. 0.98

00:01:22.440 Sorry. 0.91

00:01:22.740 I don't know anything about sports.

00:01:23.700 I don't.

00:01:24.020 As you guys know, occasionally sports becomes a news story and I'll talk about it.

00:01:28.840 But I'm very quick to disclose I don't know anything about it.

00:01:31.580 And I certainly would never be the person purporting to do an important interview of a sports figure who's in the center of some sports storm, as opposed to just my role over here as a random commentator when it becomes news.

00:01:44.420 That's that's the position this person was in.

00:01:46.960 You played with fire and you got burned and you misled and you failed at an important moment in presidential history.

00:01:56.820 There's so much to go through.

00:01:58.580 The particular moment that's being celebrated this morning had Kamala Harris responding in this interview to a barb from Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. 0.93

00:02:09.360 It was akin to the childless cat lady remarks from J.D. Vance, which were years ago.

00:02:14.860 Right. He made those comments three or four years ago.

00:02:18.900 They got brought up again against him once he was named as Trump's running mate.

00:02:24.300 And for some reason, Huckabee Sanders thought it might be a great idea to double down on them.

00:02:30.200 She said last month at a town hall the following.

00:02:33.660 As my eyes feel with tears, my sweet daughter reaches up, pats my shoulder and says, it's OK, mommy.

00:02:39.340 One day you can be pretty, too.

00:02:41.160 So my kids keep me humble.

00:02:48.740 Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn't have anything keeping her humble. 1.00

00:02:56.800 She didn't need that last line.

00:02:59.400 She didn't need it. 1.00

00:03:01.220 It was dumb politics. 1.00

00:03:03.320 And I love Huckabee Sanders, but this is stupid for Republicans to keep doing this. 1.00

00:03:08.200 OK, so Harris goes on this podcast and the host brought it up. 0.99

00:03:16.060 And here was Kamala Harris's response.

00:03:18.780 I don't think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who, one, are not aspiring to be humble.

00:03:28.720 Oh, Lord.

00:03:29.560 Two, a whole lot of women out here who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life, and children in their life. 1.00

00:03:41.340 And I think it's really important for women to lift each other up. 1.00

00:03:46.360 I have two beautiful children, Cole and Ella, who call me Mamala.

00:03:51.840 We have a very modern family.

00:03:55.760 My husband's ex-wife is a friend of mine, and I love those kids to death.

00:04:00.900 And family comes in many forms.

00:04:04.220 And I think that increasingly, you know, all of us understand that, you know, this is not the 1950s anymore.

00:04:14.100 Families come in all kinds of shapes and forms.

00:04:16.200 All right. First of all, it is absurd for anyone on Team Trump to be ripping on someone else for not being humble enough.

00:04:25.180 OK, this just was not a smart attack.

00:04:28.980 Second, did the GOP not learn its lesson with the J.D. Vance comments and the blowback, which he's still laboring under?

00:04:36.360 I understand what he was trying to say.

00:04:39.300 We've talked about it on the show.

00:04:40.620 He gave me his first interview.

00:04:42.020 We went through it all, but there's no question that this is not a smart line of attack that the right should double and triple down on.

00:04:51.880 You heard when Tucker came on this show, he expressed that he felt bad.

00:04:55.360 He said, you know, as a cable news host, I think I egged him into that.

00:04:59.240 I was kind of snarky, and I wish I hadn't, and I'm sorry for it. 0.94

00:05:02.580 Stop doubling and tripling down on this dumb attack, OK?

00:05:05.580 Not having biological kids is not disqualifying for someone who wants to hold higher office, nor does any presidential candidate have a lot of humility, OK? 0.92

00:05:15.020 It would be great if they could find some.

00:05:17.000 It would be great.

00:05:18.260 But anyway, for the love of God, Kamala Harris has enough real and deeply disturbing personality traits and policies to actually attack her on. 1.00

00:05:27.260 This one is not necessary.

00:05:28.500 But as for the way how Kamala Harris actually responded to this, it actually, it's not a girl boss moment. 0.97

00:05:35.060 It wasn't empowering.

00:05:36.360 It was off-putting.

00:05:38.880 Everyone who runs for office should be looking for a little humility, for a little opportunity to be humble.

00:05:48.060 All the leaders should.

00:05:48.920 We don't need God-complex presidents thinking they alone know best when it comes to free speech, Madam Vice President, or forever wars.

00:05:58.500 Right?

00:05:58.780 She has virtually no governing experience.

00:06:02.560 She was a lifelong prosecutor who then spent three and a half years in the vice presidency doing ribbon-cutting events.

00:06:08.580 Her one actual responsibility was the border.

00:06:11.400 And we all know how that went.

00:06:13.280 But had she actually spent the last term governing and making decisions for this country,

00:06:18.200 I think she would likely realize that humility might actually be a good thing, not something she needs to eschew.

00:06:23.140 Just to sound tough.

00:06:24.960 We're not looking to be humble.

00:06:26.940 We're not looking to be humble at all.

00:06:28.180 Okay.

00:06:29.740 I mean, honestly, to me, it jumped, it was like the exact same thing as, I eat no for breakfast.

00:06:34.620 That routine she's been giving, it shows a fragile ego. 0.90

00:06:38.260 She's insecure. 0.81

00:06:39.780 She doesn't have the goods. 1.00

00:06:41.060 And she knows we know.

00:06:43.080 We do know, Kamala.

00:06:44.760 We all see it.

00:06:46.320 Well, today that story's everywhere.

00:06:47.800 It's everywhere.

00:06:48.300 The media's loving this comeback she gave.

00:06:51.620 You go, girl.

00:06:52.260 So the system is working exactly as it has been lately, and as the Democrats think it should.

00:06:58.200 The Democratic presidential candidate avoids virtually all real questions in the press, right?

00:07:03.460 Like she's in a new form of the presidential protection program.

00:07:07.520 She goes instead on some sex podcast where she knows she will get no tough questions.

00:07:12.940 She gets digitally fellated by the host, and then the sycophant media gets off on the performance telling us all how good it was.

00:07:22.000 It is the presidential equivalent of a visit to the Amsterdam Red Light District or the 1970s Times Square back alleys.

00:07:29.080 They all need a shower, and we are all feeling grosser for having heard about or witnessed it in the first place.

00:07:34.960 Okay, here's the real problem, though.

00:07:40.480 Not one, not one of those media enablers has reported on the story that we may be about to put a woman abuser in the White House as, quote, first gentleman.

00:07:52.360 Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, has been accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, not 30 years ago, not 30 years ago, 12 years ago, in front of a red carpet gala on the street in France in 2012, right before he met Kamala Harris.

00:08:10.520 And not a single one of these same guffawing media outlets has written one word about it.

00:08:17.160 We discussed this in detail on Friday's show.

00:08:19.180 Now, we understand that Ms. Harris sat for this particular interview the day prior to the Daily Mail report breaking the news of Emhoff's alleged assault.

00:08:30.200 Fair enough.

00:08:30.840 The host did not know.

00:08:32.420 But Kamala Harris almost certainly did. 1.00

00:08:34.960 And listen to her go on that podcast and talk about what a champion of women Harris is. 1.00

00:08:43.220 We still have so far to go on the issue of child sexual assault.

00:08:46.420 Just like in a previous time, the issue of domestic violence.

00:08:51.720 People didn't talk about domestic violence.

00:08:54.180 And part of it was this really warped idea that, well, what happens in the home is none of our business.

00:09:02.400 But if it happened on the street, it would be our business if we witnessed it on the street.

00:09:07.560 And so the point being that abuse of anyone is something we should all take seriously as opposed to saying it's not our business.

00:09:17.920 It's something that we have to agree should not happen.

00:09:21.280 And whatever resources and whatever attention we can put into reducing the likelihood that it happens is worthwhile.

00:09:28.020 Well, if it happened on the street, it would be our business.

00:09:35.820 You heard it from her directly.

00:09:37.880 If it happened on the street, it's our business.

00:09:42.760 Abuse of anyone is something we should all take seriously as opposed to saying it's not our business.

00:09:51.080 And whatever attention we can put into reducing the likelihood that it happens is worthwhile, then do that, Madam Vice President, do that.

00:10:02.840 Because this did allegedly happen on the street.

00:10:06.440 So it is our business by your rule.

00:10:08.980 This is something some of us are taking seriously, as is your rule.

00:10:13.780 And we here at the MK Show, as well as at the Daily Mail, which broke the story, are putting attention into reducing the likelihood that it happens to someone else by reporting on the story.

00:10:26.500 Madam, why won't you follow your own rules? 1.00

00:10:30.760 We've gotten no comment from you at all.

00:10:33.900 An unknown campaign spokesperson gave a benign statement to Semaphore saying the report is untrue.

00:10:42.740 Any suggestion that Mr. Emhoff would have or has ever hit a woman is false.

00:10:50.720 Totally generic and doesn't respond to the vast majority of the report.

00:10:56.980 You've sat idly by and you've celebrated as this media has made a hero out of your husband.

00:11:04.720 Knowing about the nanny and if the second Daily Mail report is true, knowing that he paid her 80 grand to stay silent after she lost their baby.

00:11:12.740 Which she blames on him.

00:11:15.160 You watched as they said he has single-handedly redefined masculinity.

00:11:19.340 That he's a wife guy.

00:11:21.160 That quote, supporting women is just something he's always done.

00:11:25.240 What a crock.

00:11:28.320 We played you the Jen Psaki stuff on Friday.

00:11:30.940 Another so-called journalist actually had Doug Emhoff sit for an interview after the Daily Mail story broke.

00:11:42.640 What a get.

00:11:44.260 Great.

00:11:45.540 Maybe he'll ask him.

00:11:47.340 Does anyone give a damn about domestic violence?

00:11:50.700 Maybe this guy does. 0.50

00:11:52.200 Abuse of a woman in public on the street?

00:11:55.220 Kamala Harris says we have to pay attention to that kind of thing.

00:11:57.320 Here's Tim Miller of The Bulwark.

00:12:01.400 An entity whose very existence is due to their deep loathing of one thing.

00:12:07.940 Donald Trump. 1.00

00:12:10.060 I don't mind taking shit. 1.00

00:12:13.200 I actually kind of like it and revel in it. 1.00

00:12:15.280 I don't mind if some jerk is whatever attacking me. 0.98

00:12:19.400 I don't mind the harassment. 0.99

00:12:20.620 It's fine.

00:12:21.040 I don't like it when my kid gets brought into it.

00:12:24.300 And I do sometimes react poorly.

00:12:26.860 And that has happened over the past few months.

00:12:30.840 And that happens to you all the time.

00:12:32.420 I mean, your kids are getting targeted.

00:12:33.700 I see Ella getting targeted. 0.99

00:12:35.140 I just kind of wonder how you process that, how you deal with it.

00:12:38.800 Well, first of all, sorry that what you're going through.

00:12:41.120 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:12:41.460 It's nothing compared to what you're doing.

00:12:42.560 No, but we got to call it all out.

00:12:45.720 I mean, look, you're a journalist.

00:12:47.340 We believe in a, you know, free press.

00:12:50.480 We need strong journalists out there calling it out.

00:12:55.380 And for you guys to be able to do your job, you can't do it being threatened and being targeted.

00:13:01.540 And that's part of their game, too.

00:13:03.780 It's all a distraction.

00:13:05.980 So the attacks on me personally, the kids, Kamala, look, it's not fun, especially when it hits the kids.

00:13:12.780 Um, but right now we have a mission and that mission is to win this election.

00:13:20.220 Okay.

00:13:20.800 They were talking about attacks, including attacks on his daughter, Ella, for whom I have nothing but sympathy.

00:13:27.320 I feel bad for this young woman.

00:13:29.000 Can you imagine having your dad cheat on your mom with your nanny and then create a love child who then gets miscarried, according to the Daily Mail, allegedly because of something your dad did?

00:13:40.520 That's the claim.

00:13:42.140 What we know is true because he's admitted it is he knocked up the nanny while he was married to this child's mother. 0.96

00:13:48.640 So that's disgusting. 0.72

00:13:50.640 But here he'd like to play the victim. 0.65

00:13:53.280 It's not nice to make fun of that child or any of the children.

00:13:56.820 We haven't done that here on the show.

00:13:58.540 Um, but I am interested in what happened to the nanny and I'm very interested in what happened to the girlfriend on the street, Kamala, in Cannes, France, less than two years before you started up with this guy. 0.95

00:14:11.580 And for Tim Miller to not ask him one question about the allegation that he's a woman beater is a disgusting failure.

00:14:22.820 However, it is yet another dereliction of journalistic duty.

00:14:28.140 And he does consider himself a journalist now.

00:14:32.160 Amazingly.

00:14:33.320 I don't even care if you do.

00:14:34.980 I don't care if you consider yourself a journalist, a sex podcast host, whatever.

00:14:39.280 You get this guy sitting in front of you, you ask the question that is in the news that he's he's now responded to through a campaign spokesperson to ask whether he actually hit his girlfriend in 2012 outside of a red carpet gala in Cannes, France, and whether there will ever be tape of such a thing.

00:15:02.780 Or if that person is, is not actually wasn't the subject of his abuse, why won't he put her forward?

00:15:10.020 Will, can we expect to hear from her?

00:15:12.060 Because you guys out there know if you were wrongly accused of hitting or punching a girlfriend and you didn't do it, you would go to her and say, please tell the world this is a lie.

00:15:22.760 Where is she?

00:15:24.440 Why hasn't he?

00:15:26.360 Why didn't you ask?

00:15:28.560 Tim Miller.

00:15:29.560 Remember, this media is too busy celebrating her girl boss moment to talk about the fact that on her arm, she may be escorting a woman abuser right into the oval. 1.00

00:15:42.140 Easter egg hunt, Christmas tree party, all of that.

00:15:47.980 Great.

00:15:48.680 How many women are going to get to go and have Doug Emhoff put their arm around them if she becomes president at the White House Christmas party? 1.00

00:15:56.280 And wonder whether he used that same arm to smack a girlfriend across the face because she allegedly placed her hand on the shoulder of a valet to get a cab.

00:16:09.500 I mean, this is just, we've fallen so far, I can barely hold on.

00:16:16.780 I'm holding on by my fingertips to see a press corps that I recognize as vigorous and honest and not owned by anyone in power.

00:16:27.960 As for the rest of the Harris interview on this sex podcast, which I realized does other things besides sex, but not many.

00:16:37.300 I don't, I've never listened to this thing a day of my life.

00:16:41.300 My team has pulled sound bites, which I think might be too filthy for us to actually play.

00:16:45.140 But I gave you the feel for what she does.

00:16:48.180 The young host admits at the top, to her credit, that she's not the one who should be asking questions about the economy, immigration or fracking.

00:16:56.060 Good. I appreciate that.

00:16:58.220 And there might be a lane for her to ask questions.

00:17:00.540 But in this position, a month out from the election, one has to stop and ask oneself, why did she come to me?

00:17:07.460 Am I being used?

00:17:09.380 And do I really want to be this person's stooge?

00:17:13.040 Instead, what appears to have happened here was the host decided to make the entire interview about the area she claims to know best.

00:17:19.380 Women. Women's rights. 1.00

00:17:21.080 All right, I'm listening.

00:17:22.560 Do you?

00:17:23.520 Like, you say you talk about it all the time.

00:17:25.020 Actually, what that turned out to mean, not a surprise, given that this is an obvious leftist, is one thing, abortion.

00:17:31.080 Abortion, abortion, and more abortion. 1.00

00:17:34.020 And sure enough, that is what we got.

00:17:36.440 We got the now oft-repeated lie that Georgia's abortion laws caused a young mother of one son to die as she was trying to abort her twins.

00:17:45.960 In fact, she died of malpractice when, after taking the abortion drug, she was forced to wait too long for a perfectly legal DNC by her Georgia doctors.

00:17:56.660 Her family should sue over that. 1.00

00:17:59.220 We got a lie from Kamala Harris that the GOP wants to take away women's birth control, which is not true. 0.99

00:18:04.860 We got the host seemingly upset that Trump has called Ms. Harris names in the past, like, dumb. 0.93

00:18:14.660 The question was, how does that affect you when he calls you those names? 0.99

00:18:19.780 Well, gee, how do you think it affects Trump to be called a sexual predator by Kamala Harris, a fraudster, a criminal, Hitler by her top surrogates and supporters? 1.00

00:18:32.880 Might that warrant a response of, she's crazy, she's fake, she's dumb, which are the adjectives the host brought up? 1.00

00:18:41.820 You might want to contextualize your question so that the audience has some idea that these didn't come out of nowhere. 0.99

00:18:51.220 The host seemed particularly bothered by Trump telling women at a rally in Pennsylvania not long ago that he would be their protector if he's returned to the Oval Office.

00:19:01.740 Harris was allowed to rail on how that was a lie because he hand-selected the three judges who participated in overturning Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs opinion.

00:19:11.360 And that was exactly what this host wanted to hear.

00:19:13.880 I wonder if the host cares anything, anything about issues affecting women other than abortion.

00:19:20.800 Like, does she care that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have changed Title IX with a stroke of their pen?

00:19:26.200 And they've allowed boys and men to take over women's sports and redefined womanhood to begin with? 0.96

00:19:32.540 And that Trump has promised to reverse that?

00:19:34.940 That Trump has promised to remove men and boys from women's private spaces where they are being hurt all the time?

00:19:42.460 Raped in prisons?

00:19:44.720 Sexually assaulted in bathrooms and locker rooms?

00:19:47.880 Having their medals stolen?

00:19:50.540 Not to mention their innocence? 0.99

00:19:52.180 Do you care or is it all about killing the baby in utero?

00:19:56.960 I just wonder because as a woman, I care about a lot of things.

00:20:01.160 I care about where the country is on abortion rights.

00:20:05.340 I think it's an interesting topic.

00:20:07.120 But I really care about what happens to the women once they are born and live their lives. 1.00

00:20:13.440 Here's, you know, you engage in an industry of filth from what I read.

00:20:19.180 Here's terms you can understand it in. 0.99

00:20:21.580 The young girls don't want a bunch of penises coming at them in their locker room, okay? 1.00

00:20:27.700 I know you love that. 0.98

00:20:29.800 That's the business that you're in, talking about all the times you've been on the receiving end of one.

00:20:34.960 But I don't want it happening to my 13-year-old while she's trying to play soccer.

00:20:39.920 You get that?

00:20:41.300 Do you get it? 0.99

00:20:42.100 Try to keep up, because there are issues affecting women outside of the only one you give a shit about. 1.00

00:20:50.660 Does this person know anything about the anti-sex trafficking law that Trump passed? 0.99

00:20:56.500 Does she know he's promised to seriously increase sentencing for those who abuse women and girls down at the border as part of his immigration policies?

00:21:05.380 How about the fact that we had no wars under Trump, as opposed to under the Biden-Harris regime, where we expressed and showed weakness right off the bat with the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, leading many experts have said directly to Putin feeling emboldened and invading Ukraine, not to mention what happened in Israel.

00:21:25.820 In Ukraine, at least 10,000 civilians have died, including 3,000 women and almost 600 children.

00:21:32.220 Does she care about that?

00:21:33.880 Could those women consider themselves better protected when Trump was in office? 1.00

00:21:38.400 Not to mention the 1,200 dead in Israel as of today, the one-year mark, including almost 300 women and 29 children, and those who died in the retaliatory campaign in Gaza, and that goes on beyond.

00:21:53.440 All of this is so infuriating.

00:21:58.200 What bothers me is the hypocrisy of it, the hypocrisy of it. 0.77

00:22:02.020 They want you to end that podcast thinking Kamala Harris is the one who will protect women, who cares about women.

00:22:11.100 And none of these issues is even brought up.

00:22:14.080 The whole thing is designed to make Trump the devil and Harris the savior of women's rights. 1.00

00:22:24.680 And it's infuriating.

00:22:27.340 Health has been a big topic around the country over the past few weeks, right?

00:22:30.600 And one thing we don't talk about enough is how exercise plays a vital role in that.

00:22:35.400 And it's not just cardio.

00:22:36.700 We really need to look at strength training.

00:22:38.880 More muscle helps to boost metabolism and helps as we age.

00:22:42.660 But let's face it, many are intimidated when it comes to lifting weights at a gym, not to mention the fact that we're all busy and we don't necessarily have the time.

00:23:27.780 Joining me now, Andrew Klavan.

00:23:29.740 He's host of The Andrew Klavan Show.

00:23:31.460 He's out with a new book, a highly anticipated mystery novel titled A Woman Underground, available now for pre-order.

00:23:38.840 Andrew, welcome back to the show.

00:23:40.300 What do you make of my opening comments?

00:23:42.520 It's good to see you.

00:23:43.720 And I think, you know, this is one of the key issues of this election.

00:23:47.500 This is one of the things this election is going to decide.

00:23:49.580 The American media has protected Kamala Harris far more efficiently than the Secret Service has protected Donald Trump.

00:23:57.780 And one of the things I think that this election is going to decide is whether the people are going to ask to be lied to for another four years, whether they're going to trust the same media that lied to them about Donald Trump and Russia, that lied to them about COVID and the vaccine, that has lied to them about Joe Biden and whether he was competent to hold office.

00:24:18.360 Do these people still have the sway that they used to have back in the day when the media controlled basically the flow of information?

00:24:26.420 I personally don't think so.

00:24:27.980 I'm kind of optimistic about this.

00:24:29.440 I think when people look at Kamala Harris going on a dopey show like Call Her Daddy, I don't blame the girl in Call Her Daddy for interviewing her. 1.00

00:24:38.200 That's a big opportunity for her.

00:24:40.060 She has no capacity to do an intelligent political interview. 1.00

00:24:43.880 So that's not a problem.

00:24:44.920 But don't the people look at that and say, why is this woman who's asking not just to run the country, but to be the leader of the free world? 0.99

00:24:52.380 Why doesn't she face down the kind of hostile questions that Donald Trump faces down as he walks across the street, as he walks to his plane?

00:24:59.760 He stops and talks to people who despise him.

00:25:02.640 But Kamala Harris goes on Stephen Colbert.

00:25:05.360 She goes on places where she knows she's going to be treated with kid gloves.

00:25:08.580 And I guess I'm wondering, because I don't think I know, I don't think anyone knows the answer or will know the answer until the election is over. 0.97

00:25:15.620 Are the people really suckers like this? 0.97

00:25:19.060 Are they really going to let this woman unvetted, almost completely get into the Oval Office? 1.00

00:25:25.720 And, you know, I'm hopeful that they're not going, it's not going to happen.

00:25:28.800 I'm hopeful that over the weeks, you know, I understood the surge of emotion that came upon the Democrat Party when a dead candidate, Joe Biden, was removed for a living candidate, Kamala Harris.

00:25:39.840 I understood that that was kind of an up for them.

00:25:42.420 But at some point, at some point, it shouldn't take more than 30 days.

00:25:46.800 At some point, you can't help but think, aren't the wise people among the Democrats going to say, oh, this is a fraud, this is a phony? 0.99

00:25:54.120 I think you're absolutely right about one thing, Megan, that Republicans can be terrible fools. 0.99

00:25:59.380 They're outnumbered. 1.00

00:26:00.320 The press has them outnumbered.

00:26:01.600 The press takes any gaffe they make and turns it into a major, major scandal where it doesn't matter what Kamala or Tim Walsh says.

00:26:08.980 They they'll let it they'll bury it.

00:26:10.540 But still, I think you're absolutely right that the GOP has done a bad job of defining what it is that makes Kamala Harris so bad.

00:26:19.300 They throw out words like radical, which don't really have any resonance.

00:26:22.400 They do things like pick on the fact that she has no children, which is utter nonsense. 1.00

00:26:26.660 But they don't really get at the fact that this is a party that has become anti-American.

00:26:31.460 This is a party that is has a theory.

00:26:33.760 They have a theory of anti-colonialism, that it's countries like America that are the problem, that America became strong by bleeding the weak, by bleeding people of different colors. 0.91

00:26:43.580 And it's America that needs to be weakened and destroyed.

00:26:46.020 And American allies were the problem.

00:26:47.600 And Kamala Harris is one of these people.

00:26:49.320 She believes these things.

00:26:50.580 Tim Walsh is definitely one of them.

00:26:52.700 He's appointed a man to help rejigger the education system in Minnesota, who has said that America needs to be overthrown.

00:27:00.960 America needs to be deconstructed and overthrown.

00:27:03.460 So these are people who have beliefs that are antithetical to what a majority of Americans left and right believe.

00:27:10.280 And the GOP has not done the job it should do in bringing this out.

00:27:14.140 If they're waiting for the press to do it, don't hold your breath because it's not going to happen.

00:27:18.560 But I think you are absolutely right that they have not guided their attacks in the kind of sharp, incisive way they need to to get people to see who this really is.

00:27:28.240 She's a bad hat and she does not love this country that she's asking to lead. 1.00

00:27:32.320 You know, I wouldn't be giving this host a hard time if she said, I don't, you know, like some of these guys that Trump has sat with, they haven't asked him hard questions, but they own it. 0.99

00:27:44.140 They're like, shit, I don't know anything about anything. 0.99

00:27:46.300 Let's talk about drugs. 1.00

00:27:47.360 Let's talk.

00:27:47.720 Right.

00:27:47.880 OK, that what this person said was, I'm not going to get into fracking the economy or immigration because that's not my thing.

00:27:54.480 But this is what she actually said.

00:27:56.780 I'm all about women. 1.00

00:27:58.980 This show has been rooted in supporting women and talking about women and lifting women up.

00:28:05.140 And then she goes on to say, because there's no denying we've always been underserved and we are second class citizens to men.

00:28:12.360 We've been treated like second class citizens to men, the same old, you know, tropes we've heard from sort of first wave, many wave feminists for a long time.

00:28:21.740 OK, great.

00:28:23.200 Now you have my attention in a different lane.

00:28:25.240 Right.

00:28:25.540 I was listening first as a journalist, but now you check that.

00:28:28.860 So I get it.

00:28:29.660 This isn't going to be that kind of interview for now.

00:28:31.180 But now you want my attention as a woman. 1.00

00:28:33.020 OK, I'm paying attention to that.

00:28:35.180 Everyone on the left.

00:28:36.040 And she purports to want to appeal to both leftists and rightists on her show, lefties and righties,

00:28:41.300 that she doesn't want to get political.

00:28:43.240 A lot of the people there's a major backlash against her today because she apparently does have some more conservative listeners. 0.99

00:28:50.020 Once the show has gone, you know, to expand beyond discussing men's testicles, which is literally what she does. 1.00

00:28:57.840 I she probably got a couple of conservatives in there. 1.00

00:29:00.280 She started to get a little bit more self-helpy and she doesn't want to lose them.

00:29:04.200 So she comes out to say, like, oh, you know, I thought a lot about whether I should do this.

00:29:07.400 Well, I have a little lesson for you, madam.

00:29:09.120 I think conservatives care about a lot more than whether they can kill their babies in utero a lot, like some of the issues that I just outlined.

00:29:18.320 And instead, what we got was this person coming out and calling herself the host, a privileged white woman that lives in Los Angeles.

00:29:27.740 So I'm very aware of that.

00:29:29.860 OK, that's not how conservatives want to hear you talk about yourself.

00:29:33.340 We're not obsessed with color or privilege or any of that nonsense.

00:29:37.020 And they wouldn't allow Kamala Harris to get away with saying you don't have to abandon your faith or deeply held beliefs to agree with her position on abortion, that you can talk to your priest and still emerge totally fine with abortion.

00:29:51.520 That's a fail, madam.

00:29:53.940 That's you can defend abortion if you want, but not on those grounds.

00:29:57.460 She gets a pass on it.

00:29:59.760 She didn't know that Kamala Harris was the first sitting vice president ever go to Planned Parenthood. 0.91

00:30:04.800 Why didn't you know that?

00:30:05.780 I thought you were all about women's rights, right?

00:30:07.520 Isn't that your mecca?

00:30:08.680 Planned Parenthood.

00:30:09.320 That's what every leftist woman loves and lifts up is Planned Parenthood. 0.98

00:30:13.440 She let her get away with the contraception law. 1.00

00:30:15.720 She get her a lie. 1.00

00:30:16.580 She let her get away with the Amber Thurman lie.

00:30:19.900 She let her get away with the nonsense about Trump saying that babies are dying on the table after birth.

00:30:30.360 She teased it up saying in the debate, Trump claims some states are executing babies after birth.

00:30:36.480 Can you just clarify as though Kamala Harris is this independent witness who's just going to clear it up for her?

00:30:41.660 And Kamala returns with more of a nonsense answer that doesn't acknowledge babies are being allowed to die on the table post birth.

00:30:52.800 Ladies, pay attention. 1.00

00:30:54.420 Here's that exchange.

00:30:56.640 I do want to clarify something.

00:30:58.980 In the debate, former President Trump claimed that some states are executing babies after birth.

00:31:08.680 Can you just clarify?

00:31:11.140 That is not happening anywhere in the United States.

00:31:15.020 It is not happening.

00:31:17.060 And it's a lie.

00:31:18.880 Just it's a bold faced lie that he is suggesting that.

00:31:24.620 Can you imagine?

00:31:25.960 Can you imagine?

00:31:27.000 He is suggesting that women in their ninth month of pregnancy are electing to have an abortion.

00:31:35.700 Are you kidding?

00:31:36.460 That is that is so outrageously inaccurate and it's so insulting.

00:31:46.060 OK, Andrew, my point is, if you're going to do if you're say your lane is all about women and you introduce these topics, a modicum of information should be thrust into your brain. 0.98

00:32:01.240 Try to put her up, put away the discussions about the testicles for two minutes and think about your research. 0.95

00:32:09.100 All right. 0.87

00:32:10.260 Execute may not be the right word, but there is an issue of born alive babies being allowed to die without the doctors surrounding them on the table doing anything to help them.

00:32:23.500 It's happening in multiple states, including her running mate's home state of Minnesota, where 24 babies have been allowed to die on the table since.

00:32:33.660 Since 2015, Tim Walsh reversed the mandate that they be helped in 2023 and also pulled all reporting requirements.

00:32:43.540 So we have no idea. It could be double 24 by this point because they no longer have to tell us how many babies born after a botched abortion are allowed to just die with no help on the table.

00:32:53.860 It's, you know. I don't even know what the word is that I'm looking for.

00:32:58.280 Is it it's it's hypocrisy. It's laziness. It's this newfangled like I am woman. 0.99

00:33:03.720 Hear me roar because you get a very successful podcast and good. Good for her. 0.96

00:33:07.060 I begrens you none of her success. But if you're going to venture over into a lane that could determine the future of the country and you're going to bring up issues that could determine people's votes, do your homework.

00:33:20.980 You know, just to give a little sympathy to this woman, she's obviously a dope. 1.00

00:33:26.560 I mean, that's the first thing she asked Kamala Harris to name a law that restricted the bodies of men the way an anti-abortion law would, I guess, restrict the bodies of women. 0.98

00:33:36.360 And my first thought was, well, there's a law saying I can't use my body to kill someone else's body.

00:33:41.480 I mean, there's a law that restricts the bodies of men in the same exact way that an anti-abortion law restricts the bodies.

00:33:47.500 Well, let me ask you this, Andrew. How do you think it would go for maybe not you, because you like I are longer in the tooth.

00:33:52.700 How do you think it would go for Spencer if we got into an all out war with Iran in the Middle East and we had to implement the draft?

00:34:00.200 Do you think Spencer would be able to say my body, my choice? I'm not going.

00:34:03.980 Pretty sure that affects his body in a profound way.

00:34:07.020 But consider this for just a minute, that those lies that Kamala was just telling about the fact that babies can be left to die in Minnesota, as you said, Tim Walz oversaw taking out the restriction of keeping a baby alive.

00:34:21.160 It was taken out of the law in Minnesota. It was in there and then they took it out so that babies can be left to die. 1.00

00:34:26.820 And they have been left to die. But consider this at the debate between Trump and Kamala Harris, the moderators from one of our major news outlets also supported that lie.

00:34:38.380 They also let that lie pass and actually said, oh, no, this this doesn't exist anywhere.

00:34:43.380 They basically said what Kamala said on that podcast.

00:34:45.920 So you're being a little hard on this podcasting dope with our our major journalists from our one of our mainstream networks did the exact same thing.

00:34:56.280 No, fair point. Yeah. Well, I mean, look, she does have her areas of expertise. 0.99

00:35:02.200 I mean, I'm not going to take that away from her. Here's a sample of some of her work in SOT 16.

00:35:08.540 How do you work with the balls and the asshole on a man? 1.00

00:35:12.120 The balls, like it really depends on the guy. Like some guys don't like it. 1.00

00:35:16.880 Some have less sensitivity and you can tug on them. Put them all in your mouth. 0.96

00:35:21.240 Yeah. Other guys are like, fuck. Yeah, it hurts whenever you try to do it. 1.00

00:35:25.020 And it's so interesting to always see like the difference in the balls because some have like really tight, smaller ones and then other really saggy. 0.67

00:35:31.720 Interesting fact about Mike. I don't know if this is every guy, but he has something that we call like morning balls in the morning.

00:35:37.160 They're like super tight, like sucked up, like looks like a 12 year old. 0.96

00:35:40.600 Wait, what? 0.91

00:35:41.360 Yes, they're like really tight and perky in the morning. And then at nighttime, they're like all saggy out like grandpa balls. 0.91

00:35:47.820 Wait, that's so interesting. 0.86

00:35:51.180 I'm sorry.

00:35:52.580 I got a bleach in my ears for that.

00:35:55.000 This is disgusting. Who? What kind of a person? Like very classy, very classy and very classy of Kamala Harris to sit down with a person.

00:36:02.800 Weird that the subject of Doug Emhoff's balls did not come up. Does he have morning balls? 0.99

00:36:07.580 Did he when he banged the nanny? However, his balls like when he was abusing his ex-girlfriend. 1.00

00:36:12.780 What has happened to us? 0.99

00:36:14.760 I'm a little disappointed that she didn't ask those questions. That would have been at least a more interesting interview than the ones we've been getting from Kamala Harris.

00:36:22.280 But again, don't you think that people are looking at this and see that this is a dodge, that they are being mistreated?

00:36:29.600 The voter is being disrespected here.

00:36:32.080 I mean, it's not Kamala Harris who's being disrespected. 1.00

00:36:34.580 It's not Donald Trump. It's not this girl running the podcast. 0.73

00:36:36.860 It's the people who have a right to know what this woman is going to do at three o'clock in the morning when we find out that Iran has launched a missile, not just at Israel, but at us. 0.75

00:36:46.540 You know, that's the job she's running for. 1.00

00:36:48.940 She's not running for Mamala.

00:36:50.560 You know, she's not running to be our maiden aunt. 0.96

00:36:53.840 She's running to run a country that has been driven into a serious state of disrepair and crisis on her watch, on the watch of her administration. 0.55

00:37:04.520 And it's no good saying, well, she was just the vice president.

00:37:07.960 The president himself has said she was in on everything.

00:37:10.400 She as far as he was concerned, she was just as qualified as he is, which I would agree with.

00:37:15.000 She is just as qualified as he is.

00:37:16.580 But I think that, you know, I just I just have to wonder, and I think if we have a country in which people can watch what you just showed and watch the kind of conversation that Kamala Harris is opening herself to and say, yes, you know, that by golly, that's the lady I want in the White House.

00:37:33.800 Then maybe, you know, unfortunately, we get what they deserve.

00:37:37.540 I mean, I think that that's that is the question.

00:37:39.560 At some point, at some point, when you've been lied to once, twice, three times, four times on major, major issues, as the American news media has lied to us over the last four years, five years, eight years on several issues of tremendous importance.

00:37:55.080 Once you've been shut up in silence and once you've seen how people are silenced to disagree with the agenda that's being put forth by the media, do you not say I'm done?

00:38:05.340 I'm not voting for these people.

00:38:06.660 Even the people who hate Donald Trump, I can understand why people don't like Donald Trump.

00:38:10.800 I can't understand why they would vote for Kamala Harris.

00:38:13.100 What has she said?

00:38:14.360 What has she done?

00:38:15.460 What has she accomplished that they support?

00:38:17.820 The only people I can see supporting Kamala Harris with a full heart are the people who stormed onto the campuses after October 7th a year ago and said, wow, we really are voting for Hamas. 0.99

00:38:29.920 We really want all these Jews to be killed. 1.00

00:38:32.040 We think this is great anti-colonialism. 1.00

00:38:34.020 Those are the people I guess can support Kamala Harris.

00:38:36.280 But who else is looking at her and thinking, yep, that's my president because of the things that she has said and done?

00:38:43.920 And so this this podcast, it's indicative.

00:38:46.920 I mean, if she goes on Stephen Colbert, if she goes on places where they basically just want to promote her because they haven't got the brains God gave a goose.

00:38:53.620 Because, you know, I guess this is part of that.

00:38:56.340 If that's what you're going to fall for, that's what you're going to fall for.

00:38:59.140 But there must be.

00:39:00.040 There has to be.

00:39:01.080 And for this country to continue, we have to please beg God that there is a large contingent of people, even to the left of center, who are looking at this and saying, I just can't pull the trigger on this.

00:39:12.700 I cannot put a vote in for this empty woman who really is hiding a very, very radical agenda, a very anti-American agenda behind these soft soap interviews and these soft soap answers. 1.00

00:39:24.440 Here is the clip that they have released ahead of the 60 Minutes interview.

00:39:36.040 There are two actually now.

00:39:38.260 The one they released over the weekend was about Netanyahu and whether he's a close ally.

00:39:45.540 Look at SOT 17.

00:39:47.640 But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.

00:39:51.800 Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.

00:40:13.880 Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister Netanyahu?

00:40:22.100 I think with all due respect, the better question is, do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people?

00:40:31.800 And the answer to that question is yes.

00:40:33.960 Okay, so she won't call Netanyahu an ally, and I have no idea what the first part said.

00:40:41.440 She makes no sense.

00:40:44.100 I'll say one thing.

00:40:45.420 On the sex podcast, she made sense because it was her favorite issue, too.

00:40:49.740 Kamala Harris loves abortion. 1.00

00:40:51.600 She loves talking about abortion.

00:40:53.480 And by the way, she was definitely edited on that show. 1.00

00:40:55.820 There's no doubt in my mind they cleaned up her answers.

00:40:57.660 You could tell on some of the clipped answers that they had done her a solid of clipping, which should be disclosed.

00:41:04.140 In any event, she made no sense on a topic that's really important, the Middle East, and then refused to call Netanyahu an ally.

00:41:12.280 So it doesn't seem like it's going very well.

00:41:15.020 We're going to see the 60 Minutes interview tonight instead of last night because the show was preempted due to some special.

00:41:20.300 And there's a possibility now, you tell me, Andrew, that the reason we now hear she's going on The View, Howard Stern and Colbert tomorrow, is that it didn't go so well for her when she sat down with 60, and she's anticipating needing to change the narrative.

00:41:41.180 It never goes well with her when she gets asked any serious question.

00:41:45.260 I mean, it really doesn't.

00:41:46.280 I cannot remember a shining moment when Kamala Harris was challenged by a not-all-together-in-the-tank journalist and came back with an answer that made you think, wow, this woman really has a grasp on the issues.

00:41:59.920 And this Israel issue, this war in the Middle East that started, as you say, because of Joe Biden's weakness, this is one of the most serious issues that exposes who these people are.

00:42:11.880 You know, I don't want to go back too far into the past, but there's a way in which this war, and this is the anniversary of October 7th, so it's worth talking about.

00:42:21.440 There's a way in which this war is Barack Obama's war.

00:42:25.100 Dinesh D'Souza was put in a halfway house for eight months, sentenced to eight months in a halfway house for nothing, for a minor campaign contribution, a fraction,

00:42:33.740 because he pointed out that if you read Obama's works closely, you will see that he is an anti-American, anti-colonialist who thinks America has to be weakened and cut back in order for the smaller countries of the world to be free.

00:42:48.460 And in keeping with that philosophy, the reason they put Dinesh in jail for that, for saying that, is because it was absolutely 100% true.

00:42:55.500 And in keeping with that philosophy, he sought to strengthen the terrorist American-hating country of Iran, who wants to destroy Israel, but only on the way to destroying us. 0.83

00:43:06.860 Donald Trump took the agreement that Obama worked so hard to put in place with Iran, an agreement that Netanyahu said would pave the way for Iran to get a nuclear weapon.

00:43:18.000 He said it won't block the way, it will pave the way to Iran to get a nuclear weapon. 0.67

00:43:21.940 Donald Trump repealed that agreement and put sanctions on Iran that kept them helpless for four years, kept them quiet for four years.

00:43:29.540 The minute Biden got back in office, he gave all the money back, he took all the sanctions away and put that agreement back in place so that Iran is now apparently hours away from making a nuclear weapon.

00:43:41.720 That philosophy, that philosophy that has strengthened the America-hating country of Iran is the same philosophy that brought the students out into the quads on October 7th, cheering for the murder of Jews and the rape and murder of women. 0.90

00:43:55.980 Murders so heartless, so cruel that they're almost unbearable to think about.

00:44:00.780 And yet those students were cheering because they're being taught the same things by the same professors who taught Obama, the same kinds of professors who taught Obama.

00:44:09.980 This is what Kamala Harris and Tim Walsh also believe, that this country is the problem, that Iran can be strengthened and make the Middle East a better place.

00:44:20.420 But it's obvious. There are still, I think, 97 hostages in place. It's common decency. You don't even have to be a geopolitical genius.

00:44:28.440 It's simple, common decency that you do not negotiate with these people, that you do not call for a ceasefire, that you back Netanyahu up 100 percent until every damn one of those hostages are released.

00:44:39.340 And instead, they're picking on Netanyahu. He's the problem. He's the problem somehow. 0.84

00:44:45.120 And they have, you know, he must be running, Netanyahu must be running places on his back for them to stab him because they have been, done nothing but stab him since this debacle began.

00:44:55.420 And when people are drowning in North Carolina and in Georgia, their houses are being wiped away.

00:45:00.780 And Kamala Harris is issuing statements about the poor Lebanese who are suffering because Israel is doing what it has to do to fight Hezbollah, who is Iran, just like Hamas is Iran.

00:45:10.820 And it just shows you that they're not on track to support this country, that they are asking you to put a woman in the Oval Office who does not feel that this country is the last best hope on earth. 0.65

00:45:25.160 And, you know, I don't mind if some radical professor wants to hold that idea, but I think electing presidents who do not believe in this country like we did with Obama, I think it's a big mistake.

00:45:35.340 I think when you have a president, when you have someone leading the country, he should love the country, he should put this country first, he should want to build it up, he should want to make America great again.

00:45:44.480 And I don't think there's any chance that Kamala Harris wants those things either openly, philosophically, or deep down in her heart.

00:45:52.180 And I think it's a dangerous thing, and I think she has revealed it at times, but this is what the press is hiding.

00:45:57.440 This is what the press is doing so much work to keep from us, is that she is not on our side, but she wants to lead us.

00:46:05.140 Very dangerous situation.

00:46:06.900 She wouldn't even say Israel.

00:46:09.220 Israel is our very close ally.

00:46:12.080 She just talked about the Israeli people, which there is a distinction there that she's trying to get around.

00:46:18.460 I mean, it's amazing to me, one year after this horrific terrorist attack on Israel that took the lives of so many innocents, we're in the place where our possible next president won't say that Israel or Netanyahu are close allies, gives us a bunch of gobbledygook, I don't know what she said, our work has resulted in movements.

00:46:41.080 I have no idea what she was saying, and I don't think she did either, as Trump said about Biden, and that really the Hamas propaganda campaign, which was incredibly effective, continues to lead to massive demonstrations in the streets of America and around the world in their favor.

00:47:02.640 Sure. You know, if you went back and asked Hamas, though it's been blown apart by Israel, you know, in retaliation for what Hamas did, if you went back and asked whoever's left, was it worth it? 0.83

00:47:14.340 I don't think you'd find one to say no.

00:47:16.480 I think they'd all say yes, it was worth it.

00:47:18.600 Look at the worldwide sympathy for them that's been generated.

00:47:24.100 It happens every time Israel goes to war.

00:47:26.460 Every time.

00:47:27.180 Since the beginning, since Israel's founding, it has happened every time we have stopped them from the victory that they need to complete the defense of their country.

00:47:36.220 We say they have the right to exist, but that's soft.

00:47:39.200 You know, that's nothing, the right to exist.

00:47:41.400 Everybody has the right to exist.

00:47:43.200 Do they have the right to exist as a Jewish state and not be under fire and not have people trying to obliterate them?

00:47:49.180 You know, it is amazing to me that there are those on the right, the Groypers, the anti-Semites, who basically support, who call themselves America first and yet support the people who say death to America. 0.92

00:48:01.000 But it is not amazing, it is not amazing that the left supports Iran and despises Israel.

00:48:07.120 This is the important thing for people to understand.

00:48:09.420 This is not an accident.

00:48:10.680 This is not like if they only knew.

00:48:12.360 This is not like, oh, if you could just open their eyes, then people wouldn't be saying, oh, we're queers for Palestine, where queers would be killed, or women for Palestine, where women would be virtually enslaved. 0.93

00:48:23.160 It's not that they're ignorant, it's that they have been taught a philosophy that makes good, evil, and evil good. 0.52

00:48:30.080 That is the problem, that in our universities, people are being taught a philosophy, Obama was one of them, that actually makes good, bad, and bad, good.

00:48:38.140 And it's so important for people on the right to understand.

00:48:42.500 I think J.D. Vance understands it, but I'm not sure that Donald Trump quite grasps it, to understand that we're dealing with a philosophy that is antithetical to the health of America.

00:48:51.420 And it's not stupidity, it's not the fact that they don't know which river and which sea they're chanting about, it's about the fact that they've been taught to see the world ideologically in a certain way that makes us the villains in the world. 0.56

00:49:05.100 The ideology isn't true. 0.98

00:49:07.280 It isn't true that countries become powerful by leeching off the weak.

00:49:11.820 What is true is that countries that are powerful sometimes spread in power over the weak, and sometimes that's very helpful.

00:49:18.220 I think the British Empire was actually a net positive to the world.

00:49:22.640 I think America is not an empire, but I think America has been a good for the world.

00:49:30.240 There is nobody in any university, in any major university in America, who agrees with me.

00:49:34.540 And so they're teaching our students, our young people, for the money we pay them, the money the federal government gives them.

00:49:40.120 They're teaching our young students this hatred of America, which also is hatred of Israel, which also is hatred of the Jews, because all of those entities represent the West and its freedoms.

00:49:50.240 And it's the freedoms that have made us as strong, as powerful as we are.

00:49:53.800 All right.

00:49:54.060 We have more with Andrew coming up, including President Biden's message from the White House and President Trump returns to Butler.

00:50:00.680 What an appearance.

00:50:01.800 Imagine waking up one day to find out your home no longer belongs to you, that someone somewhere has stolen your property right out from under you.

00:50:09.480 It sounds unthinkable, but it's a sad reality for some American homeowners and a risk for anyone that owns property.

00:50:15.600 House stealing.

00:50:16.360 That's what the FBI calls it.

00:50:17.960 It's a form of real estate fraud where scammers leverage loopholes in the system to fraudulently transfer your home's title into their name.

00:50:24.980 And then they take out loans against your property or even sell it behind your back.

00:50:29.000 By the time you find out, the scammer's long gone, leaving you, the legitimate homeowner, to clean up the mess.

00:50:34.500 But right now, Triple Lock Protection is available through HomeTitleLock.com, offering 24-7 tile monitoring, alerts, and restoration services.

00:51:03.380 Kamala Harris is out there Friday.

00:51:05.200 Like, it's interesting to me because I think she's having a change in strategy right now, and Jen Psaki seemed to be suggesting the same.

00:51:10.980 But I do think it's interesting that suddenly she's blanketing the field when it comes to media. 0.98

00:51:15.280 Not real journalism, but, you know, I mean, going on The View is obviously not real journalism.

00:51:20.320 Colbert, same.

00:51:21.620 Howard is a fun show.

00:51:22.900 He'll ask her some serious questions, but he's obviously a fan.

00:51:28.020 But, you know, you know what you're getting when you go on those programs.

00:51:31.200 And she's doing more of it than she has.

00:51:33.080 So I, to me, that tells me, yes, possibly 60 didn't go well.

00:51:36.900 But I think Zoom out and what it tells me is the campaign's not going well.

00:51:41.240 The numbers are not moving.

00:51:42.160 And she's got to do something else because if she thought she were winning, she would certainly not be taking the risks of speaking without her prompter.

00:51:50.880 You know, she doesn't like to do that. 1.00

00:51:52.940 And she's not good at it. 1.00

00:51:54.680 In fact, there was an issue with, was she in Detroit just the other day where she tried to speak?

00:51:59.640 And she was on prompter and she felt good.

00:52:01.860 She was in Flint, Michigan.

00:52:02.720 And you could see the prompter froze and panic set in.

00:52:07.580 She can't do it without that prompter.

00:52:09.660 Here's that moment.

00:52:10.340 Look at this.

00:52:11.200 They're kneeling, Senator Sabinell, Senator Peters, Representative Slocken, who we will elect to the United States Senate.

00:52:19.680 She still has the prompter there. 0.70

00:52:21.560 Today we've got 32 days until the election.

00:52:24.020 Hair freezes.

00:52:24.660 Uncomfortable pause.

00:52:30.920 Deep sigh.

00:52:31.420 So 32 days.

00:52:34.340 32 days.

00:52:36.420 Okay, we got some business to do.

00:52:38.280 We got some business to do.

00:52:39.980 All right.

00:52:41.200 32 days.

00:52:43.400 Wow.

00:52:43.680 And we know we will do it.

00:52:46.620 And, and this is going to be a very tight race until the very end.

00:52:57.420 This is going to be a very tight race until the very end.

00:53:01.200 We are the underdog and we know we have some hard work ahead.

00:53:05.840 But here's the thing about us.

00:53:07.300 We like hard work.

00:53:09.560 We like hard work.

00:53:11.560 Hard work is good work.

00:53:13.640 Hard work is good work.

00:53:15.420 And with your help in November, we will win.

00:53:23.380 We will win.

00:53:25.560 We are not playing around.

00:53:29.920 I'm so embarrassed for her, Andrew.

00:53:32.100 Like she, you can imagine if she, like imagine if she had to sit in front of your microphone and do your show for one day. 1.00

00:53:41.160 Just not, not as a guest, just as you speaking extemporaneously about issues of the day without that prompter.

00:53:49.080 32 days.

00:53:50.680 32 days.

00:53:52.320 32 days.

00:53:53.120 And then in front of a, the only reason she gets away with it is because the crowd is adoring of Democrats.

00:53:58.260 So she can get away with saying, hard work is good work.

00:54:01.900 Hard work is good work.

00:54:03.180 And get like a bunch of people to cheer that nonsense.

00:54:06.340 Compare it to Donald Trump too, you know, I get frustrated with Trump sometimes, especially during debates when he hasn't got the detailed responses that I want him to have.

00:54:16.200 Because sometimes in the Kamala Harris debate, she just left herself open to be sliced and diced and he couldn't quite bring that to bear.

00:54:23.440 But he talks to everybody all the time.

00:54:25.640 And you said quite rightly, he talks to people who are friendly toward him, but he also talks to people who just despise him and he talks off the top of his head.

00:54:33.900 He's not afraid to say what's on his mind.

00:54:35.920 And one of the things that I think is actually incredibly appealing about Donald Trump is, you know, you're getting Donald Trump.

00:54:41.660 There's nothing phony about the guy.

00:54:43.040 I mean, you can hate him, you can love him, but there's certainly nothing phony about him.

00:54:46.440 And Kamala Harris, where is she? 1.00

00:54:48.720 Who is she? 0.99

00:54:49.320 What is she actually like?

00:54:50.360 We have no idea.

00:54:51.520 We have no clue whatsoever.

00:54:52.780 And every time, every single time she was without a prompter or gets a question that comes out of left field and she doesn't see it coming, she unravels completely.

00:55:02.120 She's like a ball of wool in the hands of a kitten. 1.00

00:55:05.040 She just is taken to pieces.

00:55:07.280 And, you know, compare her to Trump, but also compare her to J.D. Vance, who's an educated, articulate man who does have a grasp of the facts.

00:55:14.080 And it's just embarrassing.

00:55:15.340 It's embarrassing to think that she could be representing this country.

00:55:18.420 She, um, as she's out there campaigning, like almost at the same moment, Joe Biden comes for the first time ever into the White House briefing room and decides to start speaking to the press.

00:55:33.840 And there's been a lot of speculation.

00:55:35.800 I don't think it's crazy about whether this was an intentional attempt to undermine her, because here was the message.

00:55:42.280 You'd think this would be a plus.

00:55:44.020 But given his approval ratings and how people feel about this economy and the border, et cetera, it's not.

00:55:49.120 Um, it's not it's it's not a nice thing to do.

00:55:52.060 Here's what he said.

00:55:54.160 Can you talk about how your vice president, who is running for the presidency, has worked on these crises and what role she has played over the past several days?

00:56:01.700 Well, she's I'm in constant contact with her.

00:56:04.820 She's aware we're all we're singing from the same song sheet.

00:56:08.960 We she helped pass all the laws of being employed now.

00:56:13.120 She was a major player in everything we've done, including passage of legislation, which we were told we could never pass.

00:56:21.760 And so she's been and her her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we're doing.

00:56:29.300 It took about two seconds for Team Trump to release this ad.

00:56:38.040 I'm in constant contact with her.

00:56:40.260 She's aware we're we're all we're singing from the same song sheet.

00:56:44.300 We she helped pass all the laws of being employed now.

00:56:48.460 She was a major player in everything we've done.

00:56:51.420 I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message.

00:56:53.700 I mean, on the other side, what was she what was he supposed to say?

00:56:59.320 You know, like she'll she'll make a big change from my terrible policies.

00:57:02.620 It's kind of hard to imagine what he could have answered.

00:57:05.160 You know, thank God she'll rescue America from my terrible policies. 1.00

00:57:08.860 I really don't think she's done anything.

00:57:10.100 I got to be honest.

00:57:10.860 I think the one thing they asked her to do is be the border czar. 1.00

00:57:13.720 She stunk. 0.92

00:57:14.540 She didn't do anything. 0.99

00:57:16.000 And that she's had no responsibility.

00:57:17.940 I really do.

00:57:18.500 That's what I think.

00:57:19.400 I don't think they used her.

00:57:20.160 She's a ribbon cutter at the vice president normally doesn't do anything unless her name 1.00

00:57:23.700 is Dick Cheney.

00:57:25.060 So I don't even count that job as part of her experience.

00:57:27.620 I'm stuck with her in twenty nineteen when she was running for the top job. 1.00

00:57:31.060 She told us how she felt about everything.

00:57:33.100 And I don't think she's really had any experience since then.

00:57:35.500 She sat there not doing anything about the border and not doing anything else.

00:57:39.300 And now she wants to, like, sort of say she's this important person.

00:57:43.940 Really?

00:57:45.720 And there's really nothing to look at to see that she could be an able president of the United 0.76

00:57:49.720 States.

00:57:50.160 Listen to CNN reacting to the fact that as they were just about to go to the Harris

00:57:55.040 campaign speech, Biden chose to come out.

00:57:58.680 Watch.

00:57:59.500 I do have a note and I'm curious what you think about this.

00:58:03.800 We were actually about to go live to Vice President Kamala Harris, who's speaking right

00:58:08.300 now in Detroit, Michigan.

00:58:10.100 And apparently she's talking about this port strike ending.

00:58:13.260 She's trying to appeal to union workers. 0.99

00:58:15.200 And yet you have the president of the United States come out clearly overshadowing her,

00:58:20.280 answering significant questions.

00:58:22.400 Is that a communications mistake?

00:58:24.420 Is the left hand not talking to the right hand in this situation?

00:58:28.780 That's a very good point.

00:58:30.240 And if they were coordinated, as you assume they would be, this would not have happened.

00:58:34.180 It is interesting.

00:58:38.140 It's not too big a guess that Biden just hates her.

00:58:42.620 You know what I mean?

00:58:43.600 Right.

00:58:43.960 He obviously feels forced out of office.

00:58:46.100 He actually believed he could win even after that disastrous debate.

00:58:50.300 You know, and Kamala Harris did everything she could to bolster him up for as long as she

00:58:54.680 could.

00:58:54.940 But he was basically thrown out by his own party.

00:58:57.700 It was a coup.

00:58:58.500 And I don't think he's taken it well.

00:59:00.620 Also, he hasn't got the cognitive coherence anymore to hide that fact.

00:59:06.480 I don't think he can actually hide his rage.

00:59:08.920 I thought the takeoff they did of him on Saturday Night Live was probably pretty close to the

00:59:14.900 truth where he was screaming, I don't want to go.

00:59:16.640 I didn't want to go.

00:59:17.640 I think that that's probably where he's at about now.

00:59:21.360 So it wouldn't surprise me at all if he just hates this woman.

00:59:24.000 So we've got some good SNL clips we'll play in a minute.

00:59:27.480 But so you've got Kamala trying to like generate excitement out there in Flint, in Michigan. 0.99

00:59:33.360 It doesn't go well.

00:59:34.200 She loses prompter.

00:59:35.180 Then she gets overshadowed by her former boss.

00:59:37.280 Well, current boss.

00:59:37.940 He's still president.

00:59:39.740 And at the same time, you've got the 60 Minutes interview, which we'll see tonight, the new

00:59:46.640 interview strategy as of tomorrow.

00:59:48.560 I mean, this is a big change.

00:59:49.660 She's been doing almost nothing.

00:59:50.900 So this is a lot to have added.

00:59:52.320 I can't wait to see how it goes tonight, because if it goes relatively well and smoothly, it'll

00:59:57.560 mean it's a legit change in strategy for the campaign.

01:00:01.000 If 60 is a disaster, it will mean that what she's doing tomorrow is an attempt to distract

01:00:05.080 from what happened on CBS.

01:00:07.480 So we'll we'll know in 24 hours.

01:00:10.400 But surprisingly, they also put out Tim Walz, the emotional security support governor, went

01:00:18.660 over by himself to Fox News and sat down with Shannon Bream on the Sunday show and told a

01:00:26.780 bunch of lies.

01:00:28.200 Here's one example.

01:00:29.080 The Minnesota abortion law where he made sure you could abort your baby all the way through

01:00:33.580 the ninth month and made sure that if after that abortion it were born nonetheless alive,

01:00:39.680 you could let it suffer to death on the table.

01:00:42.560 Well, no requirement for lifesaving care.

01:00:45.700 Shannon brought that up in side 18.

01:00:47.800 You signed the bill that makes it legal through all nine months.

01:00:51.340 Is that a position you think Democrats should advocate for nationally?

01:00:54.300 Look, the vice president, I have been clear the restoration of Roe versus Wade is what

01:00:59.820 we're asking for.

01:01:00.520 But that law goes far beyond Roe v. Wade.

01:01:02.240 To make her own choice.

01:01:03.280 The law does the law is very clear.

01:01:05.240 It does not change that.

01:01:06.380 That was been debunked on every occasion.

01:01:08.360 But wait, wait, let's agree.

01:01:10.260 What you signed is there's not a single limit through nine months of pregnancy.

01:01:13.860 Roe had a trimester framework that did have limits through the pregnancy. 1.00

01:01:17.580 The Minnesota law does not have that.

01:01:19.040 This puts this puts the decision with the woman and her health care providers. 0.84

01:01:23.580 This doesn't change anything.

01:01:25.100 It puts the decision back on to the woman. 1.00

01:01:28.380 But you do acknowledge it takes out the language about preserving the life of an infant who was

01:01:32.020 born alive.

01:01:34.420 Every doctor has an ethical responsibility to provide what they can in each situation.

01:01:38.960 That is the way the law is written out.

01:01:41.460 No, it isn't.

01:01:42.640 That doesn't even mean it makes sense to provide what they can in each situation.

01:01:46.360 We read the statutory language to our audience last week.

01:01:50.120 We read the exact language.

01:01:51.960 They used to have to provide life-saving care, and now they don't because of his strikeouts

01:01:57.620 in the law.

01:01:58.440 He signed in 2023, and he also got rid of the reporting requirement, so we know how many

01:02:02.180 babies this is happening to.

01:02:03.500 Just a bunch of lies.

01:02:06.020 You know, the guys at the Daily Wire are making fun of me about this, but I find this guy so creepy.

01:02:11.280 I find something, it's not just every, almost every word out of his mouth.

01:02:14.720 You know, I was joking about it on one of the shows about how I keep waiting for Clarice

01:02:21.160 Starling to show up and take him away because he just seems like the kind of guy who has

01:02:26.160 a girl in an oubliette in his basement. 0.63

01:02:28.640 But I just, every word that comes out of his mouth is a lie.

01:02:32.740 That big-eyed, you know, look like he got caught in the headlights.

01:02:36.680 There is just something so creepy about this guy.

01:02:39.300 And you can tell it really is there by the fact that the press keeps telling us what a

01:02:44.220 regular guy he is.

01:02:45.600 He's a coach.

01:02:46.620 He's a, you know, he wears flannel shirts.

01:02:48.740 He's a, he carries a gun and all this.

01:02:51.080 And I just keep thinking, you know, something, you know, it's very cruel.

01:02:55.580 If you ever, I'm sure you have watched little boys in school.

01:02:58.540 They know immediately when some guy's not right, you know, they start to bully him.

01:03:02.360 They throw him out of the group.

01:03:03.580 They can be very mean about it.

01:03:04.820 That's the way I feel about this guy.

01:03:06.400 You know, I feel like if he came to my, if I'm in elementary school, he's the kid I'm

01:03:10.700 going to start bullying, you know, because there's just something.

01:03:13.240 I mean, honestly, like, especially when you realize he put tampons in your bathroom as

01:03:16.620 a, as a boy.

01:03:18.360 So, yeah, that's a giveaway.

01:03:20.400 Shannon brings up the subject of his many, many lies.

01:03:25.760 She, she strings a couple of them together to see what he'll say.

01:03:29.960 And here's how that went.

01:03:31.540 You've modified your story or explained that you misspoke about things involving your military

01:03:35.680 rank, about carrying a weapon in war, your 1995 DUI arrest using IVF to have your beautiful

01:03:42.500 children, Gus and Hope, being in Hong Kong and China in the summer of 1989 during the Tiananmen

01:03:47.900 events.

01:03:48.940 What do you say to the American people who think, I don't know that I can trust this guy with

01:03:53.600 all those modifications to be the potential commander in chief of this country?

01:03:57.980 Well, I think they heard me.

01:03:59.060 They heard me the other night speaking passionately about gun violence and, and misspeaking.

01:04:02.900 And, and I got to be honest with you, Shannon, I don't think people care whether I used IUI

01:04:07.740 or IVF when we talk about this.

01:04:09.680 What they understand is Donald Trump would resist those things.

01:04:12.880 Look, I speak passionately.

01:04:14.460 I had an entire career decades before I was in public office.

01:04:17.480 Um, they know, and I'm very proud of my 24 years in service and my records.

01:04:22.320 I will own up when I misspeak.

01:04:24.320 I will own up when I make a mistake.

01:04:25.680 Let's be very clear on that debate stage.

01:04:27.840 The other night I asked one very simple question and Senator Vance would not acknowledge that

01:04:32.080 Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

01:04:33.780 I think they're probably far more concerned with that than my wife and I used IUI to have

01:04:38.540 our child.

01:04:39.060 So I speak passionately.

01:04:43.440 I speak passionately.

01:04:45.480 People don't care.

01:04:47.060 I'm proud of my service.

01:04:48.980 I will own up when I misspeak.

01:04:51.840 I mean, it's amazing to me.

01:04:54.640 I'd love, if I had him, I have to say, I'd probably not string them together.

01:04:57.400 I'd probably zero in in particular on the retired command Sergeant major.

01:05:01.340 You said it.

01:05:02.740 I mean, I, it's so many times I've lost count.

01:05:04.840 I would string the butted soundbite together of what we actually have of him on cam.

01:05:09.060 And then I'd have all the written examples in front of me.

01:05:12.040 And then I'd ask him, are you really asking this audience to believe that each one of

01:05:15.700 those was you quote misspeaking?

01:05:18.300 Isn't it more likely that you intentionally overstated the rank that you had achieved?

01:05:23.440 And can you understand why military veterans are upset about it?

01:05:27.740 I mean, he, there's no answer to that.

01:05:30.220 You can't, it's just more everything the guy says he's pathological. 0.98

01:05:34.280 Andrew is a lie.

01:05:35.860 You know, it's, it is absolutely true.

01:05:37.880 First of all, that's why he hasn't come on your show.

01:05:40.700 And if he does come on your show, please have security because I'm telling you, the guy

01:05:44.520 is really off somehow.

01:05:46.800 I don't, I feel like I wouldn't be his target.

01:05:51.920 But I just, I just think the kinds of things he lies about really are offensive.

01:05:56.760 I mean, the last time you and I were talking, I was saying, you know, I, I was given a t-shirt

01:06:00.260 by the 101st airborne.

01:06:01.600 I won't wear it out of the house.

01:06:02.760 Cause I'm afraid that people might think I was serving in that unit.

01:06:06.180 You know, I just, I'm just not going to do it.

01:06:07.700 And I think that he's the things he lies about, about being in Hong Kong during Tiananmen

01:06:12.260 Square.

01:06:12.640 And then he said, Oh, I got the dates wrong.

01:06:14.140 That's like getting the date of nine 11 wrong.

01:06:16.120 You know, if you're somewhere on nine 11, you know, it, you know where you are.

01:06:20.460 He, he lies and he lies with that kind of weird childlike irresponsibility.

01:06:25.640 Like he's never going to be caught.

01:06:27.240 He's actually not ready for primetime.

01:06:29.540 He's not ready for a national, uh, showing except for the fact that the press again has

01:06:34.480 drawn a circle around him and is trying to draw a circle around him anyway.

01:06:37.880 And just like they've done for Kamala Harris, the press really is the problem.

01:06:42.080 It's funny.

01:06:42.660 It's boring in a way to say the press is the problem because people are always blaming

01:06:45.780 the press and people always say, well, both sides hate the press.

01:06:48.400 I don't think that's true.

01:06:49.440 I think our press is corrupt and it's corrupt in one direction.

01:06:53.120 Um, Jen Psaki liked it. 0.99

01:06:54.960 But she decided that what we need in this change of strategy we're seeing from Harris

01:06:59.280 Waltz is more walls.

01:07:01.200 Watch this.

01:07:03.040 Former president Obama is going to be out on the campaign trail.

01:07:05.460 Liz Cheney was with her out on the campaign trail.

01:07:07.440 Are you starting to, are you anticipating a strategy shift?

01:07:10.740 We've already seen them announce this, which I think is a great thing.

01:07:13.600 Um, vice president Harris has a number of interviews she's doing over the next couple

01:07:16.780 of weeks.

01:07:17.280 Uh, while Tim walls, who I think is a huge asset who hasn't been tapped into nearly enough

01:07:22.220 for the last month is going to be out there.

01:07:25.780 Is he though?

01:07:26.720 Is he a huge asset?

01:07:27.800 I mean, sooner or later, you might get somebody who really gets to drill down, you know, with

01:07:33.180 him on one of these.

01:07:33.980 It'd be great to just, here's my recommendation.

01:07:36.700 If anybody, you know, gets him and is an honest broker, just, just take one category,

01:07:43.260 take just the abortion or just immigration or just the lies and drill, drill, drill, drill.

01:07:50.300 Because the way he gets away with it is just, you can only ask like one or two questions

01:07:54.160 on it.

01:07:54.400 And then you have to move on as the interviewer because you want to cover a lot of ground.

01:07:56.840 But if you really like, I would love to show him, show him the language of the Minnesota

01:08:00.320 abortion law.

01:08:00.960 Look at it.

01:08:01.460 You're the governor.

01:08:01.960 You signed it.

01:08:02.680 You're way more familiar with this than I am.

01:08:04.980 Why did you remove the part that says must give life-saving care?

01:08:09.180 That's no longer in there.

01:08:10.620 Now, what did you understand you were doing?

01:08:13.280 It's your loss, sir, right?

01:08:14.740 Like, or take the lie.

01:08:16.420 Like, how could you not remember that you were not in Tiananmen?

01:08:20.060 I mean, we're on the one year anniversary of 10-7.

01:08:22.920 You know, if you were in Israel on 10-7, you would know because people were being murdered

01:08:27.840 all around you.

01:08:29.400 Children, babies, innocents sitting and waiting for the bus.

01:08:33.100 You'd know.

01:08:34.020 Same as Tiananmen, frankly.

01:08:35.920 The death toll wasn't as high, but the slaughter was absolutely shocking at the hands of the

01:08:41.780 government.

01:08:42.280 You'd know.

01:08:43.140 How could you have screwed that up over and over?

01:08:46.840 Like, press it a little and see what he says.

01:08:49.560 Yeah, and, you know, the question for me when people lie, sometimes people lie.

01:08:54.380 I think Walz does this a lot.

01:08:55.880 He lies to aggrandize himself, to make himself seem like more than he is and to make him seem

01:09:00.760 more normal than he obviously is.

01:09:02.880 But I think people also lie to hide stuff.

01:09:04.740 And I think that this is the whole question of this campaign is what are they hiding?

01:09:08.140 And as I said before, I think they're hiding a very anti-American agenda.

01:09:11.900 You know, these last four years have been very upsetting in some ways, not because of the

01:09:17.060 failure of policies.

01:09:18.640 Jimmy Carter had failed policies, but he didn't hate the country.

01:09:21.780 He just made a mistake.

01:09:22.980 He didn't know how things worked.

01:09:24.760 He didn't actually know what made economies better, what made countries more secure.

01:09:29.820 That's not what's happening now.

01:09:31.480 This is an actual attack on our sovereignty and on our ability to be the leader of the

01:09:36.800 free world and maybe even the leader, the hegemonic leader of the world in general.

01:09:40.880 And I think that this is, again, a philosophy that has been piped down from the upper reaches

01:09:46.040 of academia, through the press, through the media, and has taken hold on a lot of the

01:09:51.320 intellectuals and a lot of the intellects in our administrations and in our leadership.

01:09:57.100 And I think that that's the sort of thing we should be going after.

01:10:00.500 We should be exposing what they really believe.

01:10:02.680 Why would you say that Lebanon should be the center of our sympathies when not only is Israel 0.99

01:10:09.840 the one under attack, but North Carolina and Georgia are underwater?

01:10:14.120 Why would you say that?

01:10:15.320 Why would you say that it shouldn't be illegal to cross the border illegally?

01:10:20.920 Why is that so?

01:10:21.820 Why would you want to protect people as they're doing in California, where they've made it

01:10:26.480 against the law to check somebody's ID as he comes to vote?

01:10:31.120 You know, when I was a kid, I wish they would have done that in liquor stores, but now they

01:10:34.100 want to do it.

01:10:34.760 It's against the law to check someone's ID when he comes in to vote.

01:10:38.200 Why would you do that?

01:10:39.520 And why is there not one journalist who asks that question or asks the even more important

01:10:44.520 question, who's running the country? 0.68

01:10:46.300 Who right now is running America?

01:10:48.300 You know, it's amazing to me.

01:10:49.560 You know, I was a journalist for a period of time, a short period of time, but I was

01:10:53.700 a journalist and I was okay.

01:10:55.260 I was full of curiosity.

01:10:57.240 I wanted to know.

01:10:58.060 I didn't trust anybody.

01:10:59.200 I didn't trust anybody in power.

01:11:00.660 Why is not one journalist at any major venue saying, who's running the country?

01:11:05.220 Who is making the decisions in this country?

01:11:07.240 It's clearly not.

01:11:07.800 I have a theory on that.

01:11:09.300 Okay.

01:11:09.740 I have a theory.

01:11:10.920 My theory is the left does not want to go there because they don't want her elevated

01:11:19.000 up to the presidency between now and election day, because it'll be a lot harder for voters

01:11:26.340 to say, she's not responsible for any of this.

01:11:28.520 Like if she's the sitting president and things don't start turning around right away, that

01:11:32.740 doesn't, that's not good for her. 1.00

01:11:34.040 So the left doesn't want it.

01:11:35.220 And the right doesn't want it because it will elevate her in a way that has the risk of making 0.98

01:11:43.160 people not want to fire the first female black president after one or two months in office. 0.97

01:11:49.380 So they're just like head down.

01:11:51.820 We're going to have to stick with the guy who's in there because there's some risk in

01:11:55.640 her being elevated for us.

01:11:57.040 So both sides have an interest in not pushing it.

01:12:01.720 That's a really interesting thought that if everybody has an interest in keeping quiet

01:12:05.780 about it, but it does make me curious because I want to know who was running the country

01:12:10.360 before we suddenly discovered to our shock and surprise that Joe Biden wasn't capable

01:12:15.540 of doing it because it's been a long time.

01:12:17.680 I mean, remember Kamala and all the rest of them lied to us for a long time about just how

01:12:22.120 sharp this Joe Biden, who was the best of all possible Joe Bidens, was before we found

01:12:26.620 out.

01:12:27.160 So who does run the country?

01:12:28.380 I mean, is this a new idea that we're supposed to have, that there's just some blob of a

01:12:33.020 bureaucracy that runs the country without any elected leadership?

01:12:36.360 I suspect it is.

01:12:37.640 I mean, that's all we heard during the Trump administration from the New York Times was,

01:12:41.080 thank God we have an unelected government that's stopping Donald Trump from doing what the

01:12:45.020 electors want him to do.

01:12:47.360 But it's a really good theory, Megan.

01:12:49.660 I think you're probably exactly right.

01:12:51.360 But I do wonder myself, like, what are we supposed to think?

01:12:55.900 How are we supposed to think this country works now?

01:12:58.300 Is the president just a figurehead?

01:13:00.020 Is there somebody else that we can turn to?

01:13:01.840 Is there somebody else we can hold responsible and vote out of office when they get it wrong?

01:13:05.660 Because I don't know who that would be.

01:13:08.040 And so I guess I want to know, because I want to know when Kamala takes office, will it matter?

01:13:13.300 Is it going to change anything?

01:13:14.780 Yeah.

01:13:14.940 Will we notice anything?

01:13:17.040 Yeah.

01:13:17.180 Yeah, well, I mean, I assume we'll see her a little more than we see the current guy,

01:13:22.980 because she is, you know, 60.

01:13:25.540 She's not 20, you know, whatever he is, 200.

01:13:29.980 But I don't know, because she's so awkward at the mic, they may just keep her underground. 0.96

01:13:34.240 I do want to get back to The New York Times, because they did this unbelievable hit piece on Donald Trump and how old he's getting.

01:13:40.200 I mean, the absolute nerve by The Times.

01:13:43.860 But before we leave her change in media strategy, there is some reporting that it's a definite shift, as Jen Psaki alluded to there.

01:13:53.980 NBC News, the headline is, Harris's campaign plans to ramp up its negative messaging about Trump.

01:14:00.580 A new phase, I mean, like that's new.

01:14:03.420 A new phase aimed at trying to move the small number of undecided voters her way, according to five Harris campaign officials, 0.99

01:14:10.040 driven in part by internal campaign data showing that sharper messaging against Trump could persuade some still unsure Americans.

01:14:16.740 The numbers aren't moving, quote unquote, said a Harris campaign official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

01:14:24.240 And on Friday, in a campaign speech at the Redford Township Fire Department in Detroit,

01:14:30.800 Harris said the following about Trump and union workers.

01:14:36.940 Take a listen.

01:14:38.540 We will not be fooled.

01:14:40.980 We will not be gaslighted.

01:14:43.280 Donald Trump's track record is a disaster for working people.

01:14:49.480 And he's trying to gaslight people all over our country.

01:14:53.060 But we know the facts and we know the truth.

01:14:57.360 He is an existential threat to America's labor movement.

01:15:03.800 That's rich.

01:15:05.700 I mean, under Donald Trump, the first time that wages went up in decades is the first time that the gap between rich and poor

01:15:13.260 and narrowed, the first time that the gap between black and white narrowed.

01:15:16.220 What on earth is she talking about?

01:15:18.580 The working class got a bigger percentage tax cut rate than the more wealthy did.

01:15:25.460 There's a reason that the teenagers union did not endorse her.

01:15:30.040 And now the firefighters did not endorse her.

01:15:33.940 By the time she showed up, there was no endorsement waiting for her.

01:15:38.400 By a slim margin, the International Association of Firefighters declined to back any candidate.

01:15:45.540 The union reps more than 300,000 career firefighters and emergency responders.

01:15:49.900 They were the first to endorse Biden at the outset of his campaign against Trump in 2019.

01:15:56.060 This time around, nothing, which seems to clearly suggest it's another Teamsters situation where the membership backs Trump,

01:16:03.660 but the leaders don't want to say that.

01:16:06.700 So I don't know if this is her new sharper messaging, like he's an existential threat.

01:16:12.160 They've been saying all that stuff.

01:16:13.880 There's is there another tool in the arsenal to get meaner about Trump?

01:16:18.380 Well, it's also kind of comical.

01:16:21.480 I mean, because I have a morbid sense of humor, it is kind of funny to watch them worry that Donald Trump will do things like try to put his political opponents in jail.

01:16:30.280 You know, basically, all they've tried to do is put Trump in jail.

01:16:33.600 It's kind of amazing that they can get away with it.

01:16:35.640 But I guess when you have a dishonest and corrupt press, you can get away with it.

01:16:39.240 But it is it's sort of comical.

01:16:40.800 I mean, everything that they accuse him of doing, they're doing.

01:16:44.100 And if you talk to some left wingers, as I occasionally do, they'll tell you, well, that's OK, because it's all right when you do it to Trump.

01:16:51.440 But it's not all right when you do it.

01:16:52.680 If you do it to anybody else, then suddenly magically becomes a threat to democracy.

01:16:57.980 I really see I'm kind of optimistic.

01:17:00.120 I'm not usually optimistic about elections, and I absolutely do not know what's going to happen.

01:17:04.540 I think it's completely unclear.

01:17:06.420 I think when you guess you have a 50-50 chance of being right.

01:17:09.520 But right now, it just has a gut feeling.

01:17:11.400 I'm kind of optimistic because I think Trump is doing pretty well, and I think he's sort of saying the things that he needs to say.

01:17:17.140 And I think slowly by slowly, Kamala Harris is the illusion of Kamala Harris is falling apart.

01:17:24.040 And people are remembering, oh, yeah, we always hated her.

01:17:26.480 They always hated her.

01:17:27.360 The press hated her.

01:17:28.440 The people hated her.

01:17:29.240 She's never won a vote for anything, you know, in terms of the presidential, her presidential run.

01:17:34.500 So, I don't know.

01:17:36.040 I think that right now, whatever they're doing is not only not working, I think it's also the opposite of working.

01:17:41.600 I think she's actually losing.

01:17:43.000 They say the polls aren't moving, and I suspect they are.

01:17:45.940 I think they're moving in Trump's direction.

01:17:47.920 You can sense a bit of panic.

01:17:49.780 Why else would we be seeing Tim Walz on Fox News?

01:17:52.680 Why would we be seeing Kamala Harris on 60, which is a very big risk for her, not to mention all those other places I just mentioned.

01:18:00.340 And why else would we be seeing the New York Times, the New York Times, try to go deep on Trump's age?

01:18:12.200 May I remind this audience, which they already know because we discussed this when they were refusing for quite some time to report on Biden and his age.

01:18:22.760 This is the paper that wrote the piece, quote, for Joe Biden, what seems like age might instead be style.

01:18:32.820 It might be a style thing.

01:18:35.380 And it went on.

01:18:36.640 I mean, it was very long and it was very absurd.

01:18:38.800 And they compared him to how, in some cases, the older artist revisits familiar themes with a new sense of playfulness and freedom, like Henry Matisse making cutouts, Shakespeare bending the rules of the game in The Winter's Tale and The Tempest, or Bob Dylan reshuffling the pages of his songbook.

01:18:59.480 So you see, so a late style, they say, is to highlight the way certain artists at the end of their careers enter a new and distinctive phase of creativity.

01:19:06.500 That's how they wanted us to look.

01:19:09.300 He's Dylan.

01:19:10.500 He's Matisse.

01:19:11.760 But now they get to Trump.

01:19:14.180 And yesterday, the top story yesterday on the New York Times website was as follows.

01:19:20.300 Trump's speeches, increasingly angry and rambling, reignite the question of age.

01:19:27.660 Subtitle.

01:19:28.260 With the passage of time, the 78-year-old former president's speeches have grown darker, harsher, longer, angrier, less focused, more profane, and increasingly fixated on the past, according to a review of his public appearances over the years.

01:19:43.620 All right, now you're going to love this.

01:19:44.900 Here's just a couple of things that they pull out.

01:19:47.780 According to a computer analysis by the Times, Mr. Trump's rally speeches now last an average of 82 minutes, compared with 45 in 2016.

01:20:01.120 That makes him older, you see, Andrew.

01:20:03.920 That's evidence of his advanced age, that he can go longer.

01:20:07.360 Proportionately, he uses 13% more all-or-nothing terms, like always and never, than he did eight years ago, which some experts consider a sign of advancing age.

01:20:23.900 Always and never.

01:20:25.060 Those are no-nos if you want to seem young.

01:20:27.040 Similarly, he uses 32% more negative words than positive words now, compared with 21% in 2016.

01:20:37.360 That doesn't mean it makes no sense, which can be another indicator of cognitive change.

01:20:42.440 You see, he's more negative than positive, which means he's old.

01:20:47.240 Then here's another one.

01:20:48.060 He uses swear words 69% more often than he did when he first ran, a trend that could reflect what experts call disinhibition.

01:20:59.620 Well, then I have it, too, because I use a lot more swears than I ever had in my life.

01:21:04.960 I, too, am, I guess, having dementia.

01:21:07.360 He cites fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter and said, where's Johnny Carson?

01:21:14.280 Bring back Johnny, who died in 2005.

01:21:17.580 And goes on about how attractive Cary Grant was.

01:21:21.300 This is their evidence that Trump is too old and is enfeeble.

01:21:26.760 Well, it's possible he's citing Hannibal Lecter because he's running against two walls, but it's also just possible.

01:21:33.560 This is, you know, these may be signs of his being, his replaying the, like, in like a Bob Dylan-like way, his changing up his songbook, the Trump songbook.

01:21:43.140 I'd like them to produce-

01:21:43.500 Yeah, why isn't it his Dylan period, Andrew?

01:21:45.460 I don't get it.

01:21:45.920 Why isn't he late, Matisse?

01:21:47.100 Obviously, this is like him in the village, you know, in 1962.

01:21:50.880 And I think, you know, I don't understand exactly.

01:21:54.380 I'd like them to produce the article in which they said his speeches weren't angry, in which the New York Times said his speeches weren't negative and weren't angry.

01:22:01.940 And so they're really disappointed now because he's moved from being, it's just so sweet.

01:22:06.520 What about her?

01:22:07.520 If she's going to go negative now, is she going to get the same analysis that she's now gotten more negative than positive versus where she was three months ago?

01:22:14.680 Well, that's just her Bob Dylan-like artistic as she grows older.

01:22:18.140 She's kind of replaying.

01:22:19.560 But in Trump, it's obviously dementia and-

01:22:22.780 Decline.

01:22:24.220 It's great.

01:22:25.020 I mean, the New York Times is a hilarious newspaper.

01:22:27.260 I read it every day and get a lot of laughs out of it, but it's sad.

01:22:30.800 Yeah, it used to be, it used to actually be, I know, you're probably not old enough to remember this, but it actually used to be a good newspaper.

01:22:37.300 Yeah, it's been a long, long time.

01:22:40.660 There is some hope happening, not at the New York Times, but I am somewhat encouraged, not like overly, but I'm somewhat encouraged to see Saturday Night Live get a little funny and take aim not just at the Republicans.

01:22:52.900 It seems like it's trying.

01:22:55.460 It's, of course, much more pointed and nasty toward the Trump team than it is towards the Dems.

01:23:00.340 But to do anything with the Dems is progress from where we were.

01:23:04.540 They took on the VP debate this Saturday, and here's a bit of that in SOT 22.

01:23:10.920 Okay, he's out there.

01:23:14.200 He's doing his thing, whatever that may be.

01:23:19.380 Come on, just relax.

01:23:20.820 You know, you haven't had a night off in three months.

01:23:23.040 Do you want to watch something less stressful like the Menendez Brothers show?

01:23:25.860 I don't know, Dougie.

01:23:28.440 I kind of wish I had picked Josh right now.

01:23:30.860 Oh, Josh Shapiro?

01:23:32.140 No, Josh.

01:23:33.800 Cabernet.

01:23:35.620 Look, Tid will be fine.

01:23:37.360 It's not like he's going to say something crazy.

01:23:39.300 I've become friends with school shooters.

01:23:46.420 She breaks the wine glass.

01:23:48.880 It's a good imitation, too, actually.

01:23:50.720 I appreciate it.

01:23:51.960 Oh, Jim Gavigan's very funny.

01:23:53.960 It's nice.

01:23:54.660 You know, it is nice to see because the fact that they have actually stopped making fun of one side.

01:24:00.160 First of all, I think it's terrible for the country that there is no comedian on mainstream TV, on late night TV, making fun of the left.

01:24:07.680 You know, everybody can laugh at himself if you're also laughing at the other guy.

01:24:11.360 But if they're only attacking you night after night, you're going to turn them off and you're going to get angry.

01:24:15.940 And it's just it's just loud.

01:24:17.060 Stephen Colbert is bad for the country.

01:24:19.200 It is bad medicine to have some guy who's just promoting left wing ideas and left wing people and then constantly attacking anybody who thinks that Donald Trump is worthwhile.

01:24:29.440 It actually is bad for the country.

01:24:31.480 So it's really nice on that sense to see them laughing at the other side a little bit.

01:24:35.260 But also the other side is funnier than we are. 0.95

01:24:37.520 I mean, they are just more incompetent. 0.99

01:24:39.680 They lie more. 0.64

01:24:41.000 They're so comfortable in their cocoon of the press that they actually do expose themselves a lot more than we do.

01:24:46.460 We have to be a lot more careful.

01:24:47.780 Some of the stuff that you open the show with when you were talking about the mistakes that Republicans make, like, you know, J.D.

01:24:54.040 Ben's talking about cat ladies and all this stuff.

01:24:55.900 The only reason those mistakes get blown up so much is because they cover them so completely.

01:25:01.060 They keep covering them endlessly anytime somebody makes a gaffe on the right or if somebody makes a gaffe on the left.

01:25:06.260 It's just their Bob Dylan phase.

01:25:08.220 And I think that that's, you know, that it really is bad for the country to have a media that only does that.

01:25:14.580 And it's especially bad on the entertainment media where we all participate.

01:25:17.980 We all want to be entertained.

01:25:18.920 And I'm willing to laugh at my fellow conservatives if they will also let me laugh at the left.

01:25:25.240 And that would that would be a healthy thing for both sides.

01:25:28.640 Exactly.

01:25:29.260 It's like all the fact checkers have that after that VDP debate fact checking Tim Walsh and his lies about Minnesota laws just keep saying needs context.

01:25:36.980 The fact checks that are needs context like the truth and then they just repeat exactly what the accusations against him were and as true.

01:25:44.040 But like when you've added no context, what you've done is you've fact checked him is telling a lie without admitting that you just caught him in a lie.

01:25:51.020 Here's a little bit more from SNL with, quote, Tim Walsh and, quote, President Biden.

01:25:56.920 You claimed you were in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre when you were home in Minnesota.

01:26:02.820 Can you explain that?

01:26:04.680 So I think what happened is I went to Epcot.

01:26:09.620 You can go around the whole world and I had a couple in the Germany section and I thought I went to China. 0.61

01:26:17.420 Anyway, I'm a knucklehead.

01:26:20.580 You've been watching this guy.

01:26:22.200 Come on, Walsh.

01:26:23.120 What's wrong with that guy? 1.00

01:26:24.480 He's crazy. 0.99

01:26:25.620 Get your facts straight, Jack. 1.00

01:26:28.000 You got to hit him with a no joke.

01:26:30.280 Here's a deal.

01:26:30.900 Let me be clear.

01:26:37.820 You know, Nora, it's rich to say that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy when he peacefully gave over power.

01:26:44.020 We said no fact checking.

01:26:45.300 And willingly, and willingly, don't check that, got on his plane without incident, don't, right after saving Obamacare.

01:26:51.540 Don't check that.

01:26:52.000 Well, if we're allowed to stand up here and lie, then I would like to say I actually was in Tiananmen Square.

01:27:00.020 That's a fair joke, yeah.

01:27:06.120 It makes it so much easier.

01:27:07.420 It does make you feel like there's like, okay, there's some hope that they realize.

01:27:11.840 By the way, they've killed their entire genre, right?

01:27:14.720 They've killed it.

01:27:15.480 Like Colbert's dead.

01:27:16.740 Kimmel's dead.

01:27:17.680 All the late night shows are getting crushed by Gutfeld.

01:27:20.300 They're starting to realize if the other way, the Colbert way, is not the way, it's not a good business model, they're probably sick of losing.

01:27:30.640 Well, I'd almost say it means you should bring back Johnny Carson, but I wouldn't want the New York Times to think I was getting old.

01:27:36.580 You know, I think that was an actual thing.

01:27:39.340 You know, my father was a comedian, he had a big radio show in New York, and he would always hit one side and then the other side, even though he was a staunch left winger.

01:27:46.660 Johnny Carson did the same thing, he was a staunch Democrat his whole life, but he always had a joke for the right and a joke for the left.

01:27:51.980 And it's healthy.

01:27:52.900 It's a healthy thing to do, especially when you have what is essentially a town square, like network television, where people are gathered together of all different kinds and persuasions.

01:28:02.660 And it's just bad. It really does strike me, you know, when I see Colbert, and you have to hope ultimately it's bad for their business model, because what happens is the more you serve the left, the more you have to serve the left, right?

01:28:15.720 The New York Times can't even run an op-ed that's slightly to the right because their readership is now so entirely left wing that they will be offended to hear an opposing opinion.

01:28:25.060 So once you start doing that, once you start slanting it, it kind of builds on itself until finally that's your whole audience, and now you've got audience capture, you're stuck playing to that audience again and again.

01:28:35.420 We heard the MSNBC producer caught under cover last week by James O'Keefe saying exactly that. 0.96

01:28:42.800 He was a weekend producer for MSNBC saying, we can't, we can't, we can't really challenge the Democrats because our audience gets mad, and we get a bunch of letters, and, you know, now he's like, we've made our viewers dumber. 0.95

01:28:53.660 Sure. Okay, let's take a pause because I'm going to squeeze in a quick break, and then we're going to come back, and I want to talk about Butler, which was, you want to talk about joy.

01:32:11.640 Andrew, on Saturday, former President Trump, amazingly, went back to Butler, Pennsylvania.

01:32:22.100 It's really incredible to hold a rally 12 weeks after he was nearly assassinated to the day.

01:32:29.560 Look at these shots of the huge crowd.

01:32:32.620 According to Fox News, it was about 60,000 who showed up.

01:32:35.580 The campaign used cranes to once again fly a massive American flag above the stage.

01:32:41.120 When Mr. Trump took to the stage, he stood behind thick, bulletproof glass.

01:32:46.820 At one point during his speech, he also welcomed Elon Musk to the stage.

01:32:50.820 Look at him jumping up for joy.

01:32:53.100 He was jumping around before telling the crowd he's, quote, dark MAGA,

01:32:56.580 and saying he believes Trump must win to preserve the Constitution.

01:33:02.620 Here are a couple of highlights from the night in Satwan.

01:33:05.740 A big thank you to Pennsylvania.

01:33:09.340 We love Pennsylvania.

01:33:10.900 And as I was saying,

01:33:17.400 get astronauts into space.

01:33:21.000 Come here.

01:33:22.600 Take over, Elon.

01:33:23.500 Yes, take over.

01:33:24.380 Thank you.

01:33:26.580 Fist pumping after getting shot.

01:33:30.920 Fight, fight, fight.

01:33:36.500 He's dancing.

01:33:37.560 The Trump dance.

01:33:42.240 Wow.

01:33:46.060 For those of you wondering, Elon's t-shirt read Occupy Mars.

01:33:49.420 Think of what it must have taken, Andrew, for him to go back there

01:33:52.060 and just get right back up and make a joke out of it,

01:33:54.740 as I was saying when he turned his head.

01:33:57.440 You know, Elon Musk said this when they when he interviewed him on X and said,

01:34:02.160 you know, it's just inspiring what he did.

01:34:04.900 And that's something that a president should be inspiring.

01:34:07.800 And it makes me think back to when he got COVID and he stepped out on the balcony of the White House

01:34:13.080 and took his mask off and took his mask off and the press dissolved in tears.

01:34:17.220 I mean, it was I thought one of the most shameful moments in American journalism was Jake Tapper saying when Trump said,

01:34:23.240 you don't have to be afraid of COVID.

01:34:24.480 You shouldn't let it dominate your life.

01:34:26.020 Jake Tapper said, no, you should be afraid and you should let it dominate your life.

01:34:29.600 Well, they can't erase this.

01:34:30.860 They can't erase the fact that somebody shot a bullet at this guy.

01:34:34.060 It hit him.

01:34:35.260 It hit him in the ear and he stood up and shook his fist.

01:34:38.060 And, you know, Musk made a joke of it at the at the Butler reunion.

01:34:42.120 He made a joke saying one president can't even get up a flight of stairs and the other president shakes his fist after getting shot.

01:34:48.200 But, you know, there is something to that.

01:34:50.320 It's not just rhetoric.

01:34:51.380 I mean, you do want a president who is going to lead in attitude, not just in policy.

01:34:56.480 And that is something, you know, I don't think we've had in quite a while.

01:34:59.760 You know, the kind of FDR who stands up and says we have nothing to fear, but fear itself.

01:35:04.200 I think Trump embodies that.

01:35:05.580 And he has proven that he is who he says he is.

01:35:09.080 He is the tough guy and the brave guy that he says he is.

01:35:12.480 And at this point, you can dislike him, but you can't disrespect him because that is something that you do not see that often.

01:35:18.020 You don't get a chance to see it that often.

01:35:20.360 Somebody who reacts like that under fire.

01:35:22.560 It really was an inspiring moment.

01:35:24.520 And it's going to be an inspiring moment, no matter how the left tries to push it down the memory hole.

01:35:28.580 And that's one of the things he's talking about when he says, I'm going to protect women.

01:35:32.300 He's talking about keeping us safe, keeping us and our children out of wars,

01:35:38.060 trying not to get us bombed or killed by Iranians or their generals or our sons or daughters killed in outposts. 0.96

01:35:45.960 It like it takes that kind of strength to do those kinds of things and also to project to the world.

01:35:52.700 Don't mess with us.

01:35:54.580 You'll be sorry.

01:35:56.000 Trust us.

01:35:56.740 It's not going to go well for you.

01:35:59.320 Biden has exactly the opposite projection, and it's gotten us into a lot of trouble.

01:36:03.760 I think most people can see that.

01:36:05.120 Elon Musk actually tweeted out a video of a young woman.

01:36:08.320 I don't know her.

01:36:09.000 I don't think she's a public person talking about how she's a Democrat.

01:36:14.480 She hated Trump.

01:36:16.080 She believed all the narratives about him in the media.

01:36:18.740 And it was actually COVID that started to turn her opinion around on the guy when she watched him come out and say exactly what you just said, Andrew.

01:36:25.320 She recognized, though, the media freaked out in response to his messaging.

01:36:29.880 This is our leader who's trying to keep us calm and keep a positive attitude and maintain normalcy and not create a panic.

01:36:38.260 You know, same as what we saw in Butler that day when he was still bleeding from his head.

01:36:43.340 Yeah.

01:36:43.940 And I remember the press attacking anybody who said, you know, during COVID there are worse things than death.

01:36:51.340 But there are.

01:36:52.120 Dishonor is worse and cowardice is worse and weakness in the face of true danger is worse.

01:36:57.600 And the press wants us to forget that.

01:36:59.820 They want to manipulate us.

01:37:00.820 They want to use our fears to manipulate us.

01:37:03.100 And they can't do it unless they can cause panic.

01:37:05.020 They want us to panic over everything.

01:37:06.680 The weather is a cause of panic.

01:37:08.660 Whatever we do to get energy out of the ground is a cause of panic.

01:37:12.780 Everything is a cause of panic because if we're panicked, they can control us.

01:37:16.260 And to see a president take a bullet to the ear and stand up and shake his fist, that's the opposite.

01:37:21.200 That's a calming thing.

01:37:22.400 That makes you think, OK, somebody's in charge who can handle it when the three o'clock in the morning call comes.

01:37:27.360 There's just no question that when Donald Trump brags that he will go to Putin and tell him, look, you're going to do certain things or you're going to have to deal with me, that that is more impressive than Kamala Harris or Joe Biden doing it.

01:37:39.660 When he says it to Iran, when he says it to China, you know they're listening. 0.98

01:37:43.080 And when he hands a terrorist a picture of his house and says, we're going to drop a bomb on that house if you don't do what we want you to do, you're going to believe him because he is who he says he is.

01:37:52.440 That was an important moment.

01:37:54.100 It wasn't just an inspiring one.

01:37:55.320 It was an important moment and a defining moment for the Trump personality and for the Trump campaign.

01:38:01.320 At the same time, we get how many pieces on Mamala and what a wonderful stepmother she is and what a wonderful aunt she is.

01:38:08.820 And no coverage of Trump's tender moments with his sons and his daughters or his grandkids or this woman who is one of the paramedics who took care of Trump in the wake of the shooting in Butler.

01:38:20.860 She spoke for a bit on Saturday and it was really lovely.

01:38:24.940 Here she is.

01:38:26.280 That evening, I witnessed a man with a deeply rooted bond with his family.

01:38:30.380 I heard him speak with his wife, his children and his grandchildren.

01:38:33.780 He let them know that he was safe and that he was being taken care of.

01:38:38.580 I heard his daughter say, only by the grace of God, you are here.

01:38:43.680 The man that we all see on TV with the strong personality who sometimes doesn't mince for words or who is seen as a wealthy, powerful businessman was not the man that I stood beside that evening.

01:38:54.700 What I saw was a man that in the aftermath of one of the most terrifying experiences of his life showed resiliency.

01:39:00.880 He showed strength and courage.

01:39:03.820 He showed that his family was at the forefront.

01:39:06.580 He was a husband, a father and a grandfather.

01:39:09.880 He was compassionate and grateful.

01:39:11.960 He was kind and humble.

01:39:13.920 Several times I stood and stared at him with tears rolling down my cheeks.

01:39:17.380 He was someone's dad.

01:39:19.240 He's a human just like you and me.

01:39:21.740 I held the hand of that man who sends out the mean tweets and I thanked him for loving our country and fighting for our freedoms.

01:39:28.240 He assured me that he is doing everything he can to save our country.

01:39:38.980 And I believe this to be true now more than ever.

01:39:42.460 Wow.

01:39:43.000 What do you make of it?

01:39:44.300 Well, you look at Trump's children and they really have turned out well.

01:39:47.780 You don't have to like them, but they've turned out well.

01:39:49.620 They're successful.

01:39:50.480 And then you look at some other people's children, you know, and maybe not so much.

01:39:53.920 And I think that does say something.

01:39:55.300 It does say something about a man.

01:39:56.460 There's no question about it.

01:39:57.380 Nobody's going to look at his marriage record and say, good for Donald Trump.

01:40:01.720 He's been a great husband.

01:40:03.040 But he obviously is a man who the people around him love him and his kids love him and his grandkids love him.

01:40:09.500 And that does say something about him.

01:40:10.820 I mean, as a as a person, I think there's more far more to him than the press wants us to see.

01:40:17.080 It's one thing if you're not going to make her into the mom a lot, if you don't want to do either with either one of them, I'm fine with that.

01:40:22.620 But if you're going to do it for the one, you've got to take an honest look at the other.

01:40:25.840 And Trump is a loving dad and granddad.

01:40:28.240 And there's really no two ways around it.

01:40:30.080 Great to see you, Andrew.

01:40:30.940 Thanks for being here.

01:40:32.520 Thanks for having me, Megan.

01:40:33.480 It's good to see you.

01:40:34.500 Kamala's on 60 tonight.

01:40:35.760 I'll give you my thoughts tomorrow.

01:40:36.900 Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. 0.94

01:40:41.920 No BS, no agenda and no fear.
