Okay, so let me begin with the state of the race. I always begin with the state of the race because you can't really gauge a success or failure at any political moment in time unless you know the backdrop. So the backdrop is this. This race remains a dead heat. According to a brand new Wall Street Journal poll, Kamala Harris is now at 48%. Donald Trump is at 47%. Just head to head no third party candidates. She's up 47 to 45. However, the margin of error is plus or minus two and a half percentage points.
And remember when they say that the margin of error is two and a half percentage points, they mean that if Kamala Harris is at 47%, she could be at 49.5 and she could also be at 44.5. So in other words, you have no idea who's leading this race. This thing is a dead heat. It also happens to be the case that we're in a dead heat in all of the major swing states at this point and that now has expanded to include places like North Carolina and Georgia. So we have a dead heat. We have not yet had a debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. And there's been a hue and cry from people like me.
For 40 days that Kamala Harris has answered zero difficult questions. So last night at long last, she finally sat down. And are we going to, are we going to see here's the thing about that interview.
Dan Abash, who's the interviewer for CNN did a horrifyingly bad job. She would ask a somewhat difficult question to Kamala Harris and then Kamala Harris would wriggle her way out of the question. And then Dan Abash would be one question away from just poking her and Kamala Harris could have been flying off the cliff because the thing she was saying made no sense. One little pride.
And Kamala Harris is a is a bug on the windshield somewhere. Dan Abash knew that she wasn't going to do that. So instead she started feeding her answers. She started avoiding the follow ups that would have hurt her. So Dan Abash did not do her job last night. That is not a giant shock. Also worth noting this interview was a grand total of 26 minutes, 27 minutes. Kamala Harris talked for 16 of them.
16 minute interview is not going to do it. It is not going to do it for Kamala Harris. Not only that the aesthetics of the interview were awful. You just put up a screen cap of the interview. Any of these clips just any any screen cap from all three of them. Please. There we go. So here you can see what this interview looked like.
It looks like trash. Apparently they did this in a cafe. They wanted to do it with people sitting around, but the problem was they had safety protocols. They couldn't do that. So instead they emptied out the cafe. So as my friend Matt Walsh says. They look like they were doing this from the inside of a small town airport waiting because there was a flight delay. Not only that this thing was staged poorly. Tim Wals is taller than Kamala Harris. She's not a very tall woman.
She looks like he has brought her to the principal's office. That's what he looks like. I tweeted out that it looks like she brought her dad to the McDonald's interview. That's what this image looks like. It is a bad look. It is poorly lit. It is dark. It is weirdly drained of all color. So it looks almost gray scale this interview because of lighting. Tim Walsh in the foreground. Kamala Harris is in the background, which makes her look even smaller than she normally is.
And you got a BASH and profile. So it's a very, very weird aesthetic. It's not flattering to Kamala Harris requires the flattering camera shot. She does just aesthetically speaking. She requires the upshot. She needs to look taller than she is. She requires bright colors around her because that makes her look vibrant and filled with joy.
You put her in a black and white movie in a band in coffee shop in Georgia. And what she looks like is a middle manager at a bank that is never going to make up her management because she's not qualified. And who brought her dad to an interview. That's what it looked like. So it's bad look right off the bat. Bad look.
She then happened to not be good. Kamala Harris is not qualified to be president. She doesn't look qualified to be president.

The big takeaways from this interview are a few one Kamala Harris is now attempting to obscure every policy position she ever took. She's now attempting to pretend that she didn't believe any of the things she said back in 2019. She's running to the middle by lying to you. So that is the most important thing and she should be called on those lies. Dana bash did it like a little little little bit last night, but not nearly enough.
It's up to Donald Trump and his campaigns to do that particularly in the September 10th debate. All those lines of attack are wide open. Kamala Harris has shifted virtually every position she ever held and she has explained zero of those shifts. So that's point number one point number two. You get her off the teleprompter even in a friendly interview like this. She's a disaster area truly bad wandering all over the landscape in search of an idea.
Filling the time with bromidic platitudes like when we think about the significance of she does the same trick that you did when you were in fifth grade and the teacher asked you a prompt on an essay question and you repeated the essay question as the beginning of your essay.
So your teacher would ask you about Tom Sawyer. Why did Tom Sawyer get his friends to paint the fancy the importance of Tom Sawyer getting his friends to paint the right that's what she does whenever she needs to stall for time. That is her stick and she does it all the time and it comes off truly poorly. She was incapable of answering a very simple basic softball questions in a convincing way. She looked incredibly nervous throughout the interview her affect was very very nervous.
She did not look comfortable. She does not look comfortable with Tim Walls. They do not look like they have an amazing dual dynamic unless they're actually on the move and popping about town. The minute they sit down and have to talk about policy she looks like a person who should never be elevated again above middle management she does not have natural leadership quality she's not sitting there confidently telling you her positions.
She looks as though she's filing through very slowly because she's not all that bright the note cards in her head looking for what she needs to say about a thing. Because even she doesn't know what she believes about the thing and Tim Walls doesn't know what she believes about the thing. So just the kind of general affect off putting awkward. Sort of strange. Didn't feel particularly like a joyous inauguration. Queen K here was she was gone. There was no Kamala Harris Empress of politics here.
This was Kamala Harris mid-level small town mayor. That's what this felt like. And that's putting aside all the lies and all the pervert occasions and Dana Bash not following up and Tim Walls doing his best use car salesman routine.
It was a bad performance now is it going to be an overwhelming bad reaction to Kamala Harris performance no. Because we set the bar American politics solo that she didn't physically crap her pants like Joe Biden had been doing then this meant that she was some sort of apotheosis of articulateness. But in reality it was not good and you can feel the vibe shift and this is the thing if Kamala Harris's campaign is all about vibes it's all about the dancing.
And if it's all about the cooking and if it's all about her getting to read those if it's all about that. Man Kamala Harris is in good shape. If for just one single solitary second the joy is drained. And what you actually feel like is that you're at the DMB with a person who's not particularly good at her job. She has a serious problem on her hands and that's what it felt like last night. You couldn't watch that and feel joy. You couldn't.
The entire campaign has been built around joy there is nothing joy is about this interview she looks like she doesn't want to be there Tim Walls looks like he doesn't want to be there. Dana Bash looks like she wants to be there but has no idea what to ask. This Dana Bash knows she's got to catch 22 if she pushes Harris too hard and Harris loses Dana Bash will then be blamed for Harris losing.
If she doesn't push her enough and people like me will say truthfully Dana did not do her job last night which she did not. So now let's get to the actual interview remember Dana Bash was selected for this interview specifically because she's very friendly to the Harris Walls campaign. There's a reason they didn't do this interview with a far bigger audience with like cluster holds. But the networks get way bigger numbers than CNN CNN has awful numbers generally speaking.
But they chose Dana Bash because they knew they were going to get some softball questions. So the thing leads off and Dana Bash starts by praising the campaign bus outside and the affect Kamala Harris has been told by her handlers by the way. Not to laugh ever like don't laugh. Make sure no one's here to the cackel try to keep it hemmed in and so she does read stage directions.
I will say this for Kamala Harris she know she's not a good actress but she is workman like in fulfilling the stage directions. So if the order is don't laugh then she doesn't instead she kind of awkwardly grins and pretends joy but there is no joy here. There was no joy in Madville here was the beginning of the interview. Madam Vice President governor Wells thank you so much for sitting down with me and bringing the bus. The bus door is well underway here in Georgia.
Oh we're so happy and Tim Walls there is the happy Corgi. I see the media got very angry at my Corgi metaphor yesterday. Yes folks it's a metaphor and a joke. I'm sorry that you don't like metaphors and jokes about the Minnesota Corgi. Who by the way proved that he is an idiot last night as we will demonstrate. Well while the media got mad because I made a Corgi joke about Tim Walls it turns out serious things are in fact happening in the world.
The IDF is on high alert in preparation for an Iranian attack right now. Hospitals who already prepared themselves to deal with mass casualties. Major airlines have halted all fleeting Ben-Gurian airport in Tel Aviv. Israeli have been told to prepare for at least three days that power and electricity. In the event of such an attack Israeli is across the country could be forced to spend days or weeks and bomb shelters.
While those shelters keep Israeli safe they do need to be equipped with basic essentials for survival like food and water. The fellowship has launched a project to immediately equip a bomb shelters with emergency food boxes for Israelis who have remained their in case of an Iranian attack. 10,000 of these food boxes have been delivered or preparing to deliver thousands more.
In northern Israel they've delivered firefighting equipment protective equipment for hospitals to bulletproof vehicles and much more to enhance security and protect both ordinary citizens and first responders. We are looking for 300 more listeners to join me by donating 100 bucks to meet these urgent security needs. Thanks to a generous IFCJ supporter your gift will be matched doubling your impact in the Holy Land.
We're really grateful for my loyal listeners. We are really close to hitting the goal. We need all the support we can get. We have a few days left until the match campaign ends September 8th. To give two IFCJ visit Ben4thofFellowShip.org that's Ben4thofFellowShip.org. God bless and thank you. Okay so, Dana Bash her first question was what are you going to do day one? Now this is legitimately the easiest question in American politics.
If you have spent any amount of time in American politics and you've ever thought about running for president or what you would do as president. The first thing you think is what would I do day one? You could have asked Joe Biden this question anytime in 2020. Any would have listed off a bunch of things. Donald Trump can tell you today what would he do on the very first day? This is the most predictable obvious and easy question.
And all Kamala Harris has to say about this question is I would close the border. The problem for her is that she's the current vice president of the United States. So anything she says that is an executive policy shift is an inherent rebuke of the current president quiz her boss. Even though he's dead. Now that's the problem for her. If she says I'm going to do all these world beating changes day one. The follow up from Dana could theoretically beat so why don't you do them now?
I'll see she did actually ask that question a little bit later on in the interview. So Kamala Harris the problem for her is that she actually hasn't thought about these things like at all. Kamala Harris is simply an empty vessel doing whatever the party machine says she ought to do at any given time. That means in 2019 she's anti fracking and today she loves fracking. It means that in 2019 she was open borders and today she's a border hawk.
Kamala Harris is a fresh coat of paint on a turd. That's all she is. The machine is the third Kamala Harris is the fresh coat of paint. That's it. She's asked by Dana Bashar. What are you going to do day one and she proceeds to start chopping that words out Kamala Harris. She loves to cook. I always say she likes to cook. What we mean is she gets out the words she gets out the machete and she goes to town. Here we go.
You have less time to make your case to voters than any candidate in modern American history. The voters are really eager to hear what your plans are. If you are elected what would you do on day one in the White House? Well there are a number of things. I will tell you first and foremost one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. When I look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the American people.
There is the word salad. Asperations, goals, ambitions, wow. People are ready for the source. A new way forward. A new way forward. Oh platitudes. In a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by. In a way that. Opened by optimism. Opened optimism. I think sadly in the last decade we have had in the former president someone who has really been pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing. The character and the strength of who we are as Americans.
Okay that is an objectively awful answer. That is an objectively terrible answer. Let me remind you the actual question was if you are elected what would you do on day one in the White House? I don't break this down for a second because it is everything. It is who Kamala Harris is as a human and as a politician. She said well there are a number of things. Now when you say there are a number of things what you would expect is now a list of executive actions you would take on the very first day.
That's what you'll buy in the he came into office and you signed a hundred thousand executive orders completely overturning say a safe order for example. Or achieving equity inside various administrative agencies. She says I'm going to do a number of things. What are those things Kamala? Well I will tell you first and foremost one of my highest priorities is to do what we can.
That entire phrase means nothing. You just take it and crash it. It means literally nothing. It is just her vamping for time. That is all. It's just crap. So she could have just said well there are a number of things. Support and strengthen the middle class but support and strengthen the middle class isn't something you can do on day one. Is there an executive order that says support and strengthen the middle class? If so I think we should also in it. I mean that would be quite magical.
That's not an actual thing you can do on day one because that's nothing. It's nothing. She follows up that nothing burger with this nothing burger. When I look at the aspirations the goals the ambitions of the American people again totally meaningless phrase totally totally when I look at the goals aspirations achievements wants needs desires of the American just gets out that rojaze the source and starts going right through it.
I think people are ready for a new way forward. Oh my gosh I suppose to a new way backward of course a new way forward in a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by hope and by optimism. Okay we are now a full paragraph deep and she said zero things. She is the candidate of nothing. She is the candidate of emptiness.
Boo. Boo. The queen of slime. It's just awful. It's just awful stuff. It's scrap. And then she says I think sadly at least in the last decade we've had in the former president someone who's really been pushing an agenda and an environment. Okay now I'm just going to point out the last decade that's a period of time and as we will know from Kamala Harris she thinks a lot about the significance of the passage of time she has all these verbal crutches significance is a big one.
Time is another big one. But she says that the last decade has been the real problem now again I may not be a mathematician folks but it is the year twenty twenty four. The last decade thus began if you're going to go back ten years in twenty fourteen. The president in twenty fourteen was a man in Barack Obama Barack Obama was president in twenty fourteen twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen.
That's three years then Donald Trump was president for four years and then Joe Biden has been president for three and a half years. So of the last decade a majority of it Democrats ran the place so she's like the last decade was really bad I'm sorry you're the sitting vice president of the United States that's your fault is your fault. Now later Dana Bash will ask her about that and she will completely explode.
Like the gears will stop clicking and they'll start slipping and it'll be a real problem for her but that is her initial answer again the question was what do you do day one. And she proceeds to vomit nothing just dry heave up a bunch of dobbledy book. And then Dana Bash has to follow up and she's like so I'm just going to reiterate what do you want to do like day one. And she's like we should like some more dry heaving let's do it.
So what would you do day one day one it's going to be about one implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity. Oh what you call an opportunity number of proposals in that regard which include what we're going to do to bring down the cost of everyday goods what we're going to do to invest in America small.
Businesses what we're going to do another paragraph of nothing in families for example extending the child tax credit to $6,000 for families for the first year of their child's life to help them buy a car seat to help them buy baby clothes a crib. There's the work that we're going to do that is about investing in the American family around affordable housing a big issue in our country right now. So there are a number of things on day one.
So literally the only proposal that's concrete that she makes there is to extend the child tax credit to $6,000 which is effectively a welfare scheme. I mean that is what she wants to do is give more money to people by the way it's not earmarked for their spending. So you're going to throw money at people okay that's the one thing she says so we're now you know several minutes into this interview and she has said pretty much nothing.
That is just the beginning it gets worse from here so Dan Abash asks her about the opportunity economy here is where this goes. You call it the opportunity economy you are well aware that right now many Americans are struggling there's a crisis of affordability.
One of your campaign themes is we're not going back but I wonder what you say to voters who do want to go back when it comes to the economy specifically because their groceries were less expensive housing was more affordable when Donald Trump was president. Well let's start with the fact that when Joe Biden and I came in office during the height of a pandemic we saw over 10 million jobs were lost.
People by I mean literally we were all tracking the numbers hundreds people a day were dying because of covid the economy had actually economy is in recovery in large part all of that because of mismanagement by Donald Trump of that Christ more people died of covid under her.
Hey man our highest priority was to do what we could to rescue America and today we know that we have inflation at under 3% pause it there. Okay so I'm going to point out right here this is where Dan Abash jump in and say Donald Trump's inflation rate when you heat left office was 1.4%.
Your inflation rate today is 3% the Federal Reserve shoots for 2% you've had 40 your highs in inflation right that should be the follow up the follow up should be you say you now brought it down below 3% will congratulate you all groceries are now 20 to 25% higher than they were when you took office. So how about that but of course there was no follow up along these lines. A lot of our policies have led to the reality that America recovered faster than any wealth in nation around the world.
But you are right prices and particular for groceries are still too high the American people know what I know it which is why my agenda includes what we need to do to bring down the price of groceries for example dealing with an issue like price out what we need to do to extend the child tax credit to help young families be able to take care of their children in their most formative years what we need to do to bring down the cost of housing.
Okay so this is where Dan Abash theoretically should begin right you should say to her okay let's talk about price outing do you really believe that food is too expensive because the people over at croggers and publics and Ralphs are just really really good is that your proposal is that your thing but no is there any taking of course not common Harris will not be made to answer for any of her policy vagaries certainly not by
Dan Abash but you are answerable to your family if God forbid you die and you didn't leave life insurance and you'll be dead but it's still going to be really bad like your family needs help go to policy genius the country's

anabash here she says I noticed that you're talking about a lot of the things that you want to do you've been vice president for three and a half years why don't you do any of them you have been vice president for three and a half years the steps that you're talking about now why haven't you done them already well first of all we had to recover as an
economy and we have done that I'm very proud of the work that we have done that has brought inflation down to less than three percent the work that we have done to cap the cost of insulin a $35 month for seniors Donald Trump said he was going to do a number of things including allowing Medicare to negotiate my prices never happened we did it.
So bash follows up and she says sorry saying by nomics is a success and again these are all things that Kamala Harris should have answers to and she doesn't she says by nomics is a success that is a campaign commercial and she says by nomics is not a success that's a campaign commercial so instead she filibusters maintain by nomics is a success I maintain that when we do the work of bringing down prescription medication for the American people
including capping the cost of the annual cost of prescription medication for seniors at two thousand dollars when we do what we did okay and then she just word salad so say okay so again do you get the feeling from her this is a woman who is confident in her ability to handle crisis this is a person who is solid in her belief system is that what you got I don't get that I don't feel any of this by the way Tim was spoken almost no words at this point which means she brought him along again as her
emotional support animal he's just sitting there the whole time doing nothing doing nothing looking big and white men western that's literally his job he's just sitting there doing that the whole time it's super strange it's real weird now the real the real reason that she brought Tim was they're not just because he's in emotional support animal because she was hoping that he would eat up some time if things started to get a little bit dicey but also because she is hoping that having
appeared now with Tim was she can avoid all further interviews until after the debate that's going to be the outcome of this she will not do another major quote unquote adversarial interview for another two weeks she's going to wait until the ball is start going out and she's going to count on the American people being stupid enough to be going to gamble on her despite the fact that
she's a liar about everything and it shifted all of her positions that was the whole goal just get this thing off the table without a major without a major booboo there were some somewhat major booboo as we'll get to in a moment but the biggest booboo of all is that the veneer is off the finish is off this shiny brand new object has been dented not by Dean of Ash but by Kamala Harris herself who's not good at this so perhaps the most damaging segment of this interview is where Dan
of Ash asked you know when you're in congress you supported the green new deal and you want to ban fracking so what change for you when you were in congress you supported the green new deal and in 2019 you said quote there is no question I'm in favor of banning fracking fracking as you know is a pretty big issue particularly in your must win state of
plan you do you still want to ban fracking no and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking as vice president I did not ban fracking as president I will not ban fracking in 2019 I believe in a town hall you said you were asked would you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking on your first day in office and you said there's
no question I'm in favor of banning fracking so yes so it changed in the in that campaign in 2020 I made very clear where I stand we are in 2024 and I've not changed that position or will I going forward I kept my word and I will keep my word let's be clear my values have not changed I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate and to do that we can do what we have accomplished thus far
that's enough of this nonsense so there's a lot to unpack here she's asked about the fact that she used to want to ban fracking in 2019 so first she lies and says that she reversed her position in 2020 she didn't she repeated Joe Biden's position in 2020 she was the vice presidential nominee at that time at no point in her presidential campaign
before she stepped out did she ever reverse her position on fracking so she's lying in 2020 she was then Joe Biden's VP and she said Joe Biden does not support a ban on fracking which is true because Joe Biden is less of an idiot than Kamala Harris even in his state of dementia Kamala Harris is just a big bag of bumper stickers but here's the thing in a world rife with cancel culture wearing your beliefs on your sleeve isn't just a metaphor it's a radical actor free speech
if you dare to express an opinion the woke mob does not particularly like it will come after you it happens all the time that's why I'm excited to tell you about the daily wires partnership with sticker mule sticker mule isn't just any old merch company the internet's favorite place for custom stickers magnets and more plus they're based sticker mules co founder and CEO recently vocalize his
support for president Trump calling for an end to political hate in the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump and now they're bringing you exclusive daily wire by shopping in sticker mule dot com slash daily wire and not just getting awesome urge for supporting free speech and standing up against leftist group thing you're saying I won't be silenced by the woke mob let's be honest nothing triggers a socialist faster than a well
place facts don't care about your feeling sticker yes portion of every sale goes directly to support the daily wire which means you're helping us continue to bring you hard hitting truth legacy medium won't touch so head on over to sticker mule dot com slash daily wire today make your voice heard that sticker mule dot com
slash daily wire sticker mule dot com slash daily wire so she lies about her own position then she says and I've not changed my position since and then she says my values haven't changed this all in internal contradiction logically you can't say my values never changed but my policies changed but now you should believe me because they never changed
that it's utterly unworkable totally unworkable so then danna bash starts actually trying to feed her the answers she says was there some sort of you know policy thing that made you like what made you change maybe you changed because you know you saw new data or maybe you changed because you have like danna bash is so upset with how this is going that you start feeding her multiple choice answers
was there some policy or scientific data that you saw that you said okay I get it now what I have seen is that we can we can grow and we can increase a thriving clean energy economy without banning fracking okay okay well I mean I'm glad that you repeated the answer you just gave her back to you that's exciting have you seen some new data I guess in fact I have I have
look at how she has to think about every single word coming out of her mouth there's nothing natural is to about comahiris politics nothing you could not wake her up at three in the morning ask her her position you couldn't you could for anyone who watches politics if you if you open up at three in the morning and ask my position on abortion I actually could give it to you if you all comahiris had three in the morning and said what do you believe about fracking today shoot
immediately have to fire off an angry letter to her infuriars trying to have them explain what is the best position she should take at this very moment pathetic pathetic stuff again she is not she is not primetime ready she's not she is an actor who can act in front of a camera when given lines when given a teleprompter and when given stage directions when she is not given
that she is toast she has a major major problem and then down a bash gets to her borders are job now down a bash never asked her about being borders are because there's been a an order put down presumably it's in and you must never say borders are because that might mean she's in charge of the border policy and Harris then defense will work on the board and blames Donald Trump for the border is dog ain't gonna hunt folks this is weak tea
as vice president you were tasked with addressing the root causes of migration in southern countries and not the central America the northern part of central America that deals with that affects the southern border of the U.S. during the Biden Harris administration there were record numbers of illegal border crossings why did the Biden Harris administration wait three and a half years to implement sweeping asylum restrictions
well first of all the root causes work that I did as vice president that I was asked to do by the president has actually resulted in a number of benefits including historic investments by American historic investment in that region the number of immigrants coming from that region has actually reduced I'm so mean since the all time highs I will say this that Joe Biden and I an our administration worked with members of the United States Congress on an immigration
okay and then she blames Trump okay again there's no answer to this so bash asks again in 2019 you raised your hand when you're asked whether the border should be decriminalized and then come was like but I was a tough on crime prosecutor no you weren't you were a San Francisco liberal prosecutor you're like a George Soros prosecutor in California one other question about something that you said in 2019 when you first ran there was a debate you raised your hand when asked whether or not the
border should be decriminalized do you still believe that I believe there should be consequence we have laws that have to be followed and enforced that address and deal with people who cross our border illegally and there should be some just just a very few in this race I'm the only
person who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations who do you have not prosecuted anyone for illegal immigration no one the only person in this race who actually served a border state as attorney general to enforce our laws California was a giant bathroom for illegal immigration
forward I recognize the problem I leave there when she was a G illegal immigrants were crossing into the state like nobody's when she was a G they still are ridiculous she's a ridiculous person she's a totally ridiculous person so bash ass or again the key question you keep saying that you're changing all your policies why why and then she start again the word salad is so thick is just a me asma of nothing it's a me asthma of foggy nothing it's unbelievable that people take these folks
seriously she is just not bright enough to be president of the United States I'm sorry that she stupid you picked her and the way I can tell you stupid is because she answers questions the same way a college freshman would in their first intro to philosophy class
it is total nonsensical gobbledygook jargonny trash here we go how should voters look at some of the changes that you've made that you've explained some of here in your policy is it because you have more experience now when you've learned more about the information is it because you were running for president in a democratic primary and should they feel comfortable and confident that what you're saying now is going to be your policy moving forward
and I think the the most important and most significant aspect of importance in my part is perspective and decisions is my values not change you say the summer number you mentioned the green new deal I have always believed and I worked on it that the climate crisis is real
that it is an urgent matter to like to multiply the metric that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time right there that's enough I can't I can't I cannot I can't I can't first of all again her body language is that this is an adversarial
interview Dana is a friend Dana Bash is a friend of the campaign and this is an adversarial interview because she is not capable she's incapable and let me just review the sentences that came out of her face whole slowly here Dana I think the the the most important and most
significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions total back your scrap my values have not changed I'll say there was my values have not changed then she says you mentioned the green deal I have always believed and I have worked on it that the climate crisis is real
that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time wow deep thoughts deadlines around time my god you mean as opposed to deadlines around space deadlines around mass deadlines around height deadlines around time I wish I thought of that I wish I thought of deadlines around time you know what I should try that with the staff maybe that's why we're always running behind whenever I said a deadline I'm like you
know what guys you have a deadline the deadline is three kilograms and they're like what I'm like yes three kilograms like could you translate it in terms of time like oh my god I sure thought of that a deadline around time she is a dollar she's a dollar I'm sorry that it's taking the veneer off your joy that you're so joy oh my god Joe Biden's dead and we find the queen is here oh my god Slayqueed oh so she's dancing and cooking oh joy
and then it turns out that you found a stupid person and the stupid person you pick for vice president was the only person you could consolidate around and then she gives stupid answers because she's stupid it's not my fault she's stupid it's your fault she's stupid you picked her these answers are stupid they're stupid people answers I'm sorry for getting a little exercise about this but I feel like we now live in a
person's political world very very stupid just generally speaking I know I hold myself to the standard of you know there was a time when Abraham Lincoln was the president of the United States but hell there was a time when Bill Clinton who's a pretty smart guy was president of the United States even if he was wrong about a lot of things
even Barack Obama was a fairly smart individual this person is stupid with eight o's in the middle and they keep trying to pretend that there is something there there is no there there is a good for signs explanation of Oakland there's no there there but they keep trying to make that
chap and they keep trying it they keep trying it there's a reason they're going to keep her away from the cameras they have to they have a choice they have to keep her away from the cameras in a second we'll get to the person she picked for her second in command Tim
Walls who just when I said that he is a stupid corgi when I said that he's got the dumb sitcom that energy he then went out and actually just did it he actually just did it in this interview we get to that in just one second first reminder labor day sale is here

There's nothing better possible than what will happen to you if you tell the truth it doesn't matter how it looks to you and that's a terrifying thing you know because you obviously get trouble for telling the truth that's why everyone lies and I believe that I and how could it be otherwise what are you going to do you're going to make the you're going to make the proposition that you bring about the order that is good in the world by lying
who the hell believes that no one believes that they might think they can get away with it they might use it for manipulative purposes but no one thinks that the path to paradise is paved with lies if you believe that it would destroy you if you truly believed it Don't miss this awesome episode of the Sunday special with Jordan B Peterson so let's let's be real I've been a little harsh on Connolly Harris here
because I keep saying that she's not particularly smart that she's kind of dumb and I'm not apologizing for that because I mean she is I'm sorry she is again I didn't do it you guys did it Danabash was handing her questions on a silver platter questions for which you should have been amply prepared and she was incapable of answering any of those questions
by the way one additional answer she should have had prepared here so Danabash did ask her about Joe Biden's capacity to do four more years said you know you're a big defender of Joe Biden saying that Joe Biden was with us and it turns out that Joe Biden wasn't with us
do you have any regrets about that this is where Danabash with one follow up question could have finished Connolly Harris but she didn't ask it because she didn't want to do that but here was Connolly Harris maintaining that Joe Biden is still today as he sleeps on a beach
Sharp with it intelligent the follow up question would be so why isn't he running why did you go along with the coup you can't have it both ways either he's incapable of being president and the candidate or he's fully capable in which case you shouldn't be here I should be interviewing the old man the Connolly Harris is stuck between a rock and a hard place because Democrats wanted both ways here we go
you were a very staunch defender of president Biden's capacity to serve another four years right after the debate you insisted that president Biden is extraordinarily strong given where we are now do you have any regrets about what you told the American people no not at all not at all I have served with president Biden for almost four years now
and I'll tell you it's one of the greatest honors of my career truly he cares so deeply about the American people he is so smart and loyal to the American people he's got within night stone or hand from his back hours upon hours with him be it in the Oval Office or the situation around he has the intelligence the commitment and the judgment and disposition that I think the American people rightly deserve in their president by contrast the former president has none of that
of course the last three and a half years has been part of your administration I'm talking about an era that started about a decade ago where there is some suggestion warped I believe it to be that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down she is so terrible she's so terrible again where's the follow up why didn't I ask you keep talking about these glowing terms in fact if I played an interview of you now talking about your body an
interview before he dropped out and before the debate there'd be identical so why is he out why are you here what are you doing here if he's incapable why don't you use the twenty fifth amendment to get the man who's had a clear schedule for the last two weeks in the middle of an international crisis in the middle
east in Ukraine a lot of bad stuff happening where is he does that ask any of those questions of course not now we get to the even dumber member of the pair of Tim walls so Tim walls I mentioned yesterday and apparently the media didn't like it that he is a stupid corgi that he has high
levels of enthusiasm and very low levels of intelligence Tim walls he's he's doing the whole I'm a Midwestern dad thing he's doing that thing a lot the coach walls thing but here's the thing he lies all the time he lied about his do you I back in 1995 you like about his military service
he lies about pretty much all in his resumes possible lie about he does it all the time and so then Tim walls just said the thing I mean I've been saying he's kind of a dummy and a liar and so he had to pick one so he picked dummy
so again the media were angry at me for calling the stupid corgi yesterday well then he just said he was a stupid corgi so your problem not mine I want to ask you a question about how you described your service in the national guard you said that you carried weapons in war but you have never
deployed actually in a war zone a campaign official said that you misspoke did you well first of all I'm incredibly proud to have done 24 years of wearing uniform in this country equally proud of my service in a public school classroom whether it's Congress or the governor my record speaks for
itself but I think people are coming yet to know me I speak like they do I speak candidly I wear my emotions on my sleeves and I speak especially passionately about about our children being shot in schools and around around guns so I think people know me they know who I am they know where where my heart is and again my record has been out there for over 40 years to speak for itself and the the idea that you said that you were in war did you misspeak as the campaign has said
yeah I said we were talking about in this case this was after school shooting the ideas of carrying these weapons of war and my wife the English you told my grammar is not always correct I know maybe I'll speak the English good that's the thing I was a coach I've been in that a few times I mean my English I know my English just isn't got me know me no speaky is the English no freaking Deutsch okay you didn't say the carried weapons in war because your English wasn't good because you know
speak at the English to good Tim Wall supposedly a teacher doesn't know grammar he big stupid man from Midwest he know expected to not lie he stupid so here's the thing if you'd like your kid not to be stupid like Tim Walls you should use Prager you is America

wire so his excuses I'm an idiot who doesn't know grammar you teach at a high school that's your entire campaign your entire campaign is that you're a down home high school teacher but you don't know how prepositions work how about that time you were holding an actual sign that said that you
were a veteran of the Afghan war like in 2004 how about that was that also bad grammar he's a liar he's a liar but again when it comes to line you really have only two excuses he could just say he again Dennis trying to feed him the answer Dennis like did you misspeak did you misspeak he should just say yes I misspoke I wasn't war I wasn't the military for 24 years I made a mistake I misspoke it came out wrong instead we get the no no no no I didn't
misspeak my grammar is just bad I don't know how sentences work in English wow what a what a high powered couple this this ticket is just just amazing amazing stuff honestly the most amusing part of this interview was when Kamala Harris started to tell the story of how she found out the job I didn't drop out of the race I do love it when interview checks will turn to an interview or into what Kamala does right here which is she will she says to Tana I'm going to give
you a little you know I don't know what to give too much information to say go on there's no go on there's no such thing is too much information there's no TMI here and you're like wow she's going to give too much information what's the TMI going to be it's probably going to be pretty juicy right yeah here we go when he called you and said he was pulling out of the race what was that like and did he offer to
wear did you ask for it was it was a Sunday so here I'll give you a little too much information go for it there's no such thing my family was staying with us and that is a lot of information my baby nieces oh whoa and we had just had pancakes and you know auntie can I have more bacon yes
bacon wow oh my we were gonna say we were sitting down to do a puzzle wow shocking information and the phone ring and it was Joe Biden wow that was a lot of information too much to begin almost he decided to do and back to the fake so I'm nitty I asked him are you sure and he said yes and but that's how I learned about it what about the endorsement did you ask for it he was very clear that he was gonna support me so when he called to tell you he said I'm pulling out of the
race and I'm gonna support you well my first thought was not about me oh yeah right to be honest to be fully honest I'm just that humble says Kamala Harris stole his nomination show a number of things about I don't want to hear the rest of the oh my god did you hear all that too much information
that's how down home and down to earth she is she's just you know what I'm gonna give you a little too much information I was like a saint preparing bacon for my baby nieces when I got a call from old Joe Biden and then she puts on the expression that you would get if you
heard that your grandmother wanted to be euthanized and then he told me that's how I found out and did you think for any second about the inherits no no no no me no if you fall for this your stupid she is if you fall for this again you can vote against Donald Trump because you don't like Donald
Trump or you don't like his policies fine but please stop pying on everybody's leg and telling us that she's a candidate of joy and intelligence and incisive brilliance she is clearly not which is why they're going to stalk her back in the telepromp third closet all the way up until
the debate because they cannot have her running around loose on the landscape they can't they cannot put her in front of cameras where she will answer questions without a teleprompter they can't do it this was a softball and interviews as possible to be it was 16 minutes and a
lifetime and so what's the actual outcome does it end her can it doesn't end her campaign does change the nature of her campaign yes it does because again if you watch that and you feel the joy I'll tell you what Democrats are feeling when they watch that what they feel is like I have best they
feel like okay she escaped that's what they feel at best they feel like oh my god that's really okay she didn't she didn't completely go up she can completely implode like Joe Biden on the debate stage that's it well I feel a little better right well that is a big difference
celebrate the joy let's all sing YMCA together that's a big difference and that is a problem for team Kamala Harris because without the joy she ain't nothing without the manufacturer joy she ain't nothing watch CNN try to talk themselves into Kamala after this interview watch that it's
really is it's an impressive show she did what she needed to do what she needs to do was be the same person that people have seen on the stage for the last month and have seen a new sense of sort of confidence of calm and comfortable comfort that we haven't seen before I think
there's been a consistent story of growth she's been in more of these settings I think we saw that somewhat tonight I also think to the question about how policy positions have changed there were clearly ready with an answer about how the values have been consistent it's really
interesting because for someone who doesn't want to talk about race and gender who doesn't want to kind of put that identity forward it is allowing her to make the case of change without kind of saying those words and so I thought that was really in the air of this
she answered every question now you might not like the way she answered them but she answered them as a capable qualified leader and I do think she I think she moved the ball forward a little bit those are her allies those are her allies her allies she might have
done okay she moved the ball forward like a little bit I mean it's like not the worst thing I ever saw that's how you know one good and that's how you know they're going to restock her back in the teleprompter closet that's what they're going to do
meanwhile the Trump campaign is on the offense as they need to be so yesterday the Trump campaign released an immediate ad after Kamala Harris said that her values had not changed putting forward like yeah we know her values haven't changed because she's
a radical and she always was my values have not changed there's no question I'm in favor of banning for acting you know we have to stay woke like everybody needs to be woke and you can talk about if you're with the woke is star woke her just a more woke than less woke the people who are in convicted in prison like the Boston marathon bomber on death row people who are convicted of sexual assault they should be able to vote I think we should have that conversation what would you do
about the millions of specifically assault weapons that are already in circulation what do you do about those well there are approximately five million to your point Craig we have to have a buyback program and I support a mandatory buyback program it is outdated it is wrong headed thinking to think that the only way you're going to get communities to be safe is to put more police officers on the street also says quote every individual who is a resident of the United States is entitled
to benefits for healthcare services under the sack not every individual is a resident but every individual who is a resident so you support giving universal healthcare a Medicare for all people going this country legally let me just be very clear about this I am opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety public education or public health period to reiterate you support the Medicare for all bill I think initially
co-sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders you're also a correspondent on content I believe it will totally eliminate private insurance so for people out there who like their insurance they don't get to keep it let's eliminate all of that let's move on how dare we speak Merry Christmas how dare we yeah I am radical is my values not changed this is true common values haven't changed yes that is correct correct so president Trump is on the stump yesterday and he was pushing
precisely this this needs to be the campaign her values have not changed and all the things she says that she will do that she hasn't already done she's not going to do them because she had the chance she's been VP you know exactly what a hair administration is going to look like you know precisely what it's going to look like it's going to be Biden but way way worse here is Trump yesterday saying she doesn't give a damn about you all this joy and hope he changed
he nonsense going on with her she can care about you most ambitious person American politics here is what we know about comrade Kamala Harris she just doesn't care about the American people especially hard working people or middle class Americans she just doesn't give a damn about you he's not wrong he's not wrong she cares about keeping it that Democratic party machine happy meanwhile McCulloch and a hand who was the vice presidential running mate for RFK junior who has now
dropped out and endorsed Donald Trump she released a kind of fun ad in which she went after Trump to rangement syndrome are you or your loved ones suffering from illnesses such as TDS also known as Trump to rangement syndrome do you dismiss or deny the current issues facing
our country such as historic inflation illegal immigration corporate corruption world war three escalations and the chronic disease epidemic are you willing to elect someone who was the least popular vice president in modern history and who offers no policy or vision for America simply because your
brain keeps telling you anyone but Trump if so you might be struggling from TDS introducing independence independence allows you the freedom to finally think independently once again instead of believing everything you hear from the mainstream media independence allows for constructive critical thinking I used to hear people on the news say things like Donald Trump and the movement he has encouraged are a threat to democracy and I instantly believed it with
independence I now realize the media is run by the Democrat elite who are a corrupt oligarchy that sensors free speech silences political opponents supports forever wars and a band-in's democracy by anointing its candidates independence may not be for everyone if you enjoy being lied to about your president's cognitive abilities support a million totalitarianism or are excited about communist fiscal policy independence may not be right for you common side effects of independence may
include an awakening of rational thought successfully identifying propaganda freedom of choice loss of hatred anti-narsacistic behavior and love of democracy I used to blindly hate whoever my party was running against I didn't care about
facts or policy because I was hopelessly indoctrinated with independence I'm much more interested in policies that uphold democracy and I truly care about the more country and its citizens ask your doctor of independence is right for you and enjoy your freedoms once again
it's a good ad it's a good ad and meanwhile unfortunately Donald Trump is not escaping the mall of his own missteps so Donald Trump is running against a very weak common Harris she's made clear she doesn't have any cognitive abilities to put together two sentences without relying on platitudes and bromides and wandering around in rhetorical circles but Trump stepped in it pretty bad yesterday so Donald Trump was talking about a man who's asked about amendment four in Florida
so he discussed amendment four in Florida amendment four is a constitutional referendum that would effectively extend abortion to birth so in the state of Florida the Florida state of Florida has a heartbeat law the heartbeat law says no abortion except under certain mitigating circumstances past fetal heartbeat which is about six weeks Donald Trump's position on this supposedly he wants it always so he has said before that he is he wants abortion exceptions for rape
incest life of the mother but that's about it so then he's asked about voting for amendment four now again amendment four is an incredibly radical proposition it's worded vaguely but it's very radical it gets rid of the mandate for parental consent for abortion in the state of Florida it extends the quote-unquote right to abortion all the way up to birth in the state of Florida it says liberal policy is New York would push so Trump was asked about amendment four now
there are a bunch of answers he could give because what he's trying to avoid he's saying that he's going to push serious pro-life legislation at the federal level I made a agree with that that's his position for the campaign you understand why it's an unpopular federal position all he has to say is my position on amendment four as a voter in the state of Florida is irrelevant to what I will do as president of the United States that's all he has to say in fact he could go
further he could say amendment four is an abomination amendment four is abortion until point of birth I am not in favor of that so I will vote against it were there another proposition on the ballot that loosened abortion restrictions in Florida somewhat maybe I'd be in favor of it but that's not what amendment four does but he doesn't say that instead he kind of says this in Florida the state that you are a resident of there's an abortion related amendment on the
ballot to overturn the six week fan in Florida how are you going to vote on that well I think the six week is too short it has to be more time and so that's and I've told them that I want more weeks so you'll vote in favor of the amendment I'm voting that I am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks okay but okay that wasn't the question now I guess Trump doesn't know what amendment four actually says or what it does right so I think that people are
over reading his comments there both on the pro-life side and on the pro-choice side so I think on the pro-choice side they're reading that as that guy he just completely broke his pro-life support because he's going to support an amendment that enshrines abortion as a right till birth and on the pro-life side there are many people who are panicking and doing the same things and oh look at that he endorsed the radicals so it is a source backed proposition on the ballot that's not
actually what he's saying what he's saying is I don't like the six week heartbeat but you know is he saying that he endorses like all the way to a point of birth no he's not saying that either I mean literally the same day that he said that he also said this it is rally about his abortion beliefs on a personal level and I happen to believe in the exceptions Ronald Reagan did for life of the mother rape and says the exceptions probably 90% of the people do okay but
presumably in all the other cases pro-life so in other words he's being particularly now I have faith I believe the Donald Trump will see the error of attempting to give Democrats what they want on amendment four would be a disaster for the state of Florida it would be disaster federally because a lot of other states would then enshrine the same sorts of anti-life laws so I think that what he will end up saying is something like what I'm saying right now
which is I'm not in favor of any federal legislation the good thing about getting rid of row is that it got kicked back to the state how I vote as a as a voter in the state of Florida is frankly none of your business because it has nothing to do with how I'm going to govern on the federal level I already told you and I'm going to do on the federal level right that that's that's what Trump could do my guess that's probably what he will end up doing but it's causing a lot
of heartburn at a time when all the focus should be on Kamala Harris's other incompetent inability to complete a fully content filled paragraph when asked a simple question joining some line is the star of the new film Reagan along with Dennis quaid John void John plays former KGB agent Victor Petrovich whose life becomes inextricably linked with Ronald Reagan's it's basically through his eyes that you see Reagan's story John thanks much for joining the show really
appreciate it. That's great to be with you Ben. So John Mike can tell me how you first got involved in this project I know this one has been years and years in the making. Yeah well they came to me in a couple of years ago they were this was supposed to go out a year and a half ago I guess but but the covid hit and then there was the strike and then there was some difficulty with getting the CGI right because it's tough on a certain kind
of budget you know you have to get everything in place before you go with the CGI so it was pushed back to this date and it's a very good thing it was really because it's much more relevant at this time quite amazingly relevant in a way because of certain events that happened so
so what why don't we talk about the relevance of the film obviously you know they're there people like me I was four years old and Ronald Reagan left office obviously I know fair bit about Reagan because I've read about Reagan but for many voters they don't know the Ronald Reagan era they don't know
Ronald Reagan's story so this may be their first introduction to Ronald Reagan as a man and as a president why do you think that's so relevant to people today well first of all it's a story of a good president fellow who really did things quite well and it shows the it shows the the ups and downs
the real weight of the presidency and how you deal with these serious issues on a daily basis how how does one keep one's head and you know make the proper decisions and and just you know you're going to go through a tremendous amount of very serious stuff as a president in the United States
and this fellow did it with great grace and he's he never took his eye off the ball and and and we see how he confronted these very very serious issues we also see the people around him most especially his wife Nancy who was almost a partner they had a wonderful love relationship and a wonderful
friendship and and working relationship too so so that that that's part of the story and then the movie shows all of this loves stories very beautiful and it's a very moving piece but also it gives people a very good perspective on what must be the kind of character you have to have to be president
is this one John one of the fascinating things about your characters obviously because the the movie is done sort of through your vantage point as a former KGB agent reviewing the story it's a reminder I think to a lot of Americans who really don't remember the Soviet Union just how evil the Soviet
Union was and that the size of the enemy that the United States has to take on from the rise of the Russian Revolution all the way until the fall of the Union maybe can talk a little bit about that threat well that threat is still with us and you know a lot of people were talking about all the damage that's been done by the KGB and and they attacked a very very very clever really attack on our country through through the insertion of people into our
society trying to and there's a menu that was explained in a book by Ben Carson recently and a book that came out in 1958 by a former Sput at the I agent who put out the menu of the KGB nobody paid much attention to it apparently although it was in the congressional record all these things that they
intended let me give you just a small list they tended to take over the universities they their intention was to take guide out of the schools to create a dissension between people based on race based on gender based on age to take over both parties both political parties if possible
to take over the press to take over Hollywood and all of this was laid out and if you read some of some of this is awfully clever they know our situation they know our our society very very well and they know how to damage it so that's what they set out to do as early and it was explained and
we were on it or somebody was on it this FBI agent wrote this book the naked communist in 1958 we knew about it but we didn't do we didn't find our way to doing too much about it and so we're left when I look at it and I did a lot of research of course to do this role when I see it now I
see well they pretty much accomplished everything but these were long term objectives that they had they were they they had a three tier objective to take over the United States and we're at we're seeing almost you know they must be amazed that they accomplished so much but then of course Reagan came along and dissolved the Soviet Union so that was put on pause but they'd already set it in motion and many many you know of the villains we see today are
standing on those on that menu right now and delivering and John one of the fascinating things about your character obviously again you're playing a former KGB agent who's sort of viewing Reagan's life because you're following him throughout his life from his rise as head of the screen actors guild all the way to the presidency but one of the things you're an amazing actor obviously what that means is that you have to inhabit the part it can't just be
an actor and so they're very few people in the world on planet earth who have ever thought of themselves as evil while doing evil what did it mean to actually play a KGB agent how did you get yourself into that role well I figured that this I visited the Soviet Union at the end you know in 1991 when
it was falling apart and I had a great I had a great way of connecting with the people because I was working on a film there the first film that they had allowed in to film and we filmed in Moscow we filmed in the new crane actually
where Chernobyl happened it was part of the Soviet Union at that time and I saw the terrible state of this communist influence on Russia and I met a lot of the people and the people really suffering I would say that communism brings misery this is their basic product the people walking in the
streets so I walked on red square right and people don't look up they wouldn't engage you they wouldn't look in your eyes they were frightened perhaps or just sad and and I felt for the people and I got to know few people and I said you know this will turn around I said to this woman lovely woman who spoke English taught English in a Russian school and she was very unhappy with the state affairs and was explains it said to me you know this is never going to
change John and I said oh no it's going to change you'll see she said no you don't know it'll never change I mean this this I felt for the people so I made some friends there you know and they were all in the same boat the same suffering and and so I knew what was going on when I played this character I knew this complexity of this character now he signs on to do this work he's he's having to appeal to a lot of people and he has whatever he has of
questions of what's going on has to keep to himself and all of that but but this is a young man who is in the Soviet system and when he starts and then he becomes influenced by this person that he's he's focused on that he's been given the
responsibility of reporting on the rise of this fellow because they see his talent and they see his against communism he's very outspoken and then he shows some leadership ability so so he became a future danger perhaps and that's why they assign people like this fellow to to to to gauge his
progress and and report so my my thought was I think I knew pretty much what was going on in the Soviet Union at that time and I also went to went to school on a very interesting fellow by the name of Yuri Besmanov who was a spy for the Soviet Union and became disturbed by what he saw and and left the Soviet Union became a dissident and wound up in the United States and then because of some conscience he felt he had to explain what was really going on and warned
people and you can look him up you know Yuri Besmanov and and see what his his description of what really the Soviet Union was doing in the United States and so we've had some warnings but we haven't been able to deal with them as well as we should and now we're in this situation so so anyway a lot of the things we're saying now are are directly responsible to these plans to bring down our country was it John Void the movie is Reagan is out in theaters this weekend go get your
