Kamala Harris is the Democratic presidential nominee for the remaining 100 or so days in the 2020 campaign. She's a firecracker of a woman who could easily be the next president of the United States. But how would she do it if she was running against Joe Biden?

00:00:00.000 The Democrats are now considering what will be unburdened by what has been, namely Joe Biden.
00:00:06.420 It's been the honor of my life to serve as your president, but this sacred task,
00:00:10.400 it's not about me, it's about Kamala Harris.
00:00:13.040 Kamala Harris is the presumptive nominee for the remaining 100 some odd days in the 2024
00:00:18.800 presidential race. So we have dug up some of Kamala's most soaring orations to give you a
00:00:25.940 little glimpse into a woman who could be president. We've been to the border. So this whole thing about 0.99
00:00:33.700 the border, we've been to the border. We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border.
00:00:38.840 And I haven't been to Europe. I don't understand the point that you're making.
00:00:44.620 Kamala does this thing where she just repeats the same sentence like seven times because she doesn't 1.00
00:00:49.920 have that much to say because she doesn't really know anything. So she'll just, she has her line
00:00:54.020 and she'll repeat it seven times. And this is very awkward when the line is not true.
00:00:57.560 We have been to the border. We have been to the border. Lester, we have been to the border.
00:01:01.400 Lester, why are you, we have been to the border. Have you been to the border though?
00:01:06.760 No. What's your point? What are you talking about? Not a good start.
00:01:14.120 I think that to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed,
00:01:22.400 but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled. Certain issues are just settled.
00:01:27.440 Clearly we're not. No, that's right. And that's why I do believe that we are living,
00:01:31.720 sadly, in real unsettled times.
00:01:37.420 Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:01:40.480 Whenever someone says, to be honest with you, I'm going to be honest with you, let me be honest
00:01:45.280 with you, that person is admitting that they are not regularly honest with you.
00:01:50.960 You calling me a liar?
00:01:51.980 I ain't calling you a truther.
00:01:53.780 The words that Kamala Harris utters don't even rise to the level of speech.
00:02:00.280 They're just sounds that vaguely resemble speech.
00:02:03.740 So me think, why waste time? Say lot word when few word do trick.
00:02:08.460 You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
00:02:10.420 You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
00:02:19.800 This is actually a good point. This is the first good point I think I've ever heard Kamala Harris make.
00:02:24.280 And she makes it in a way that's bizarre and off-putting and ridiculous.
00:02:29.000 You think you fell out of a coconut tree?
00:02:30.360 But the point she's making is that we are born into a family, into a community, into a country, in a society that exists in history,
00:02:42.380 in which we practice traditions and rituals.
00:02:46.820 We don't just appear out of the ether.
00:02:49.520 We're not just atomized individuals who pop into existence in a cloud somewhere, or even outside of a cloud, you know, just in a vacuum.
00:02:56.680 So that's the point she's making. She's actually making an oddly conservative, dare I say, Burkean point.
00:03:04.040 But she's doing it in a really silly way, so everyone's just going to make fun of her if we're talking about coconut trees. 0.98
00:03:08.360 Good afternoon. I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion
00:03:14.400 about some of the most pressing issues of our time.
00:03:21.060 I am Kamala Harris. My pronouns are she and her.
00:03:24.000 I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.
00:03:32.080 The best part of this, obviously, is the blue suit.
00:03:38.820 The rest of it we've come to expect. It's very silly.
00:03:41.080 Hi, I'm Kamala Harris. I am a woman.
00:03:44.900 The pronouns for a woman are she, her. You know, you have to explain all of these things that... 0.63
00:03:48.880 Three-year-olds knew intuitively until about five minutes ago.
00:03:51.300 But then my favorite part is, and I'm wearing a blue suit.
00:03:55.560 Do you like my blue suit?
00:04:00.980 Nope.
00:04:01.680 Why is she doing this? The liberals will tell you she's doing this in order to paint a picture for blind people. 1.00
00:04:08.720 If you're blind, you can't tell what color suit she's wearing, so she wants to tell you that.
00:04:13.560 But who cares? Why do the blind people need to know what color suit she's wearing? 1.00
00:04:18.560 I would tell you to kiss my ass too, but you probably can't find it, you blind mother... 1.00
00:04:22.280 In the world of Kamala Harris, there is only the superficial.
00:04:26.520 There is nothing deeper.
00:04:28.500 There are just appearances and accidents and superficial trivialities.
00:04:34.160 It's all facade, but there's nothing behind the facade.
00:04:37.160 It's just a desert.
00:04:39.020 It's like there's a big...
00:04:40.700 It's not even that big.
00:04:41.340 It's a semi-impressive facade in front of an arid desert that contains nothing.
00:04:47.260 That's a great image of Kamala Harris.

00:06:00.920 To protect your data today.
00:06:02.520 If you believe Putin has made up his mind, what leverage do you really have?
00:06:06.340 Why not put those sanctions in place now?
00:06:08.400 Absolutely.
00:06:08.940 We strongly believe.
00:06:10.700 And remember also that the sanctions are a product not only of our perspective as the United States,
00:06:16.740 but a shared perspective among our allies.
00:06:19.300 And the allied relationship is such that we have agreed that the deterrence effect of these sanctions is still a meaningful one,
00:06:27.580 especially because, remember also, we still sincerely hope that there is a diplomatic path out of this moment.
00:06:35.900 But within the context of a diplomatic path still being open, the deterrence effect we believe has merit.
00:06:43.260 Okay, so what she's saying here is not so much silly as it is needlessly wordy.
00:06:48.440 All she needed to say was, we're instituting these sanctions because we want to deter Putin, 0.67
00:06:54.000 and we think that our strategy will be successful at deterring Putin.
00:06:57.700 What makes the clip ridiculous is that the day after Kamala Harris made this gobbledygook word salad for the reporter,
00:07:06.920 Putin invaded into Ukraine.
00:07:08.180 And so it, uh, it didn't work.
00:07:12.080 You have failed.
00:07:14.640 She could have saved us all 75 minutes or however long that interminable address was. 0.66
00:07:21.300 It didn't work.
00:07:22.480 In those debates, you landed haymakers on Joe Biden.
00:07:27.240 I mean, they were, his teeth were like chicklets all over the stage.
00:07:30.720 And now I believe you that you're fully supportive of him.
00:07:34.460 How does that transition happen?
00:07:36.180 And how do you go from being such a passionate opponent on such bedrock principles for you?
00:07:43.380 And, and now you guys seem to be pals.
00:07:47.880 It was a debate.
00:07:51.920 Not everybody landed punches like you did though.
00:07:55.180 It was a debate.
00:07:57.840 So you don't mean it.
00:07:59.820 It was a debate.
00:08:01.240 It was a debate that the whole reason, literally it was a debate.
00:08:04.540 It was called a debate.
00:08:06.460 I understand.
00:08:07.300 Everyone traveled to the debate.
00:08:08.560 I remember this when it happened, but it, good, good on Colbert.
00:08:12.960 He was trying to help her out.
00:08:14.200 He was elite.
00:08:14.780 He said, look, there's this obvious question here.
00:08:16.620 Your whole campaign in as much as you had a campaign was about how Joe Biden's a big racist
00:08:21.720 and kept you off a school bus when you were a little kid because you're black.
00:08:24.980 So, you know, that's a pretty rough.
00:08:27.800 That's a little more than Joe and I disagree on tax policy.
00:08:30.380 So how are you pals now?
00:08:32.280 You said he's a horrible racist who kept you out of, tried to keep you out of school.
00:08:35.920 Uh, tell me about how you, how you came together.
00:08:38.680 It was a debate.
00:08:40.520 And she has no answer.
00:08:41.160 She goes, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:08:43.500 It's a debate.
00:08:44.360 Ha, debate, debate.
00:08:45.640 Ha, ha.
00:08:46.160 So then he has to go where she's going.
00:08:49.000 I mean, she, she led herself into this really bad position where he says, see, you didn't mean it?
00:08:54.100 Okay, hold on.
00:08:54.520 Let me just stop you right there. 0.84
00:08:55.580 Okay.
00:08:55.900 First you lied, right?
00:08:58.080 Then you lied about lying.
00:09:00.380 Okay.
00:09:00.740 Then you lied about lying about lying.
00:09:03.700 Stop lying.
00:09:04.600 Your, your big attack during your brief presidential campaign that Joe Biden was a racist, that
00:09:10.780 was just fake.
00:09:11.620 You were just lying.
00:09:12.620 Why should we believe anything you have to say now?
00:09:14.920 He, Colbert didn't say that last part, but that was implied.
00:09:17.900 And what does Kamala respond?
00:09:20.080 Ha, ha, ha, ha, debate, debate, debate, debate.
00:09:22.880 What happened, Stephen?
00:09:23.700 You fall out of a coconut tree.
00:09:25.060 I didn't.
