Miranda Devine of the New York Post stops by for some scathing takes on Kamala Harris and her qualifications (or lack thereof) for President, and drops an Australian reference on Joe Biden that leaves Ryan and Kelly in stitches behind the scenes.

A'll lot texts coming in and we'llget to those in just a moment.
You can send yours long five seven, seven, three nine, starting Ryan,
if you would please. Some havebeen a little bit colorful. We'll
get to those too. Kelly Cacherraalongside, she's helping filter through those.
She's reading a book. She's doinga lot of things over that. I
don't even know what's going on.I am running my own board today.
That's the case for the rest ofthis week, and then the jazz Man
he is back on Saturday, andhe'll be back for large portions of this
(00:25):
program coming up next week. Ialso remind you to stay tuned following today's
show. Heidi Ganall special guest host, as she was yesterday for the Dan
Kaplis Show. Today, Dan's takingtoday off from a remote location in Switzerland.
So hopefully he's enjoying that thirtieth anniversarycelebration with Amy in the Alps,
(00:45):
and I think very good for hismarriage. He is taking today off and
not dialing in for the show.Well, the numbers that are coming in
these are early, but they arebetter for Harris so far than they are
for Joe Biden. But I offera word of caution for those on the
left, and that is things areas good as they're going to get for
Kamala Harris, probably right now,because the less people know about her,
(01:07):
the more they like her, andthe more people know about her, the
less they like her. That wasevidenced again in the twenty twenty campaign,
in which she did not even makeit to Iowa. She was running eighth
in her home state of California.Now was a crowded field, but she
never really broke through. Her lonedebate moment was against Joe Biden, basically
(01:32):
calling him racis for opposing desegregation ofschools through bussing, the integration of schools
through bussing, and something that BenShapiro has revealed in Scamala, which I
advised you to watch on Daily WirePlus. If you're able to subscribe,
you can do that about her upbringingbeing one from tremendous wealth, privilege,
(01:56):
coastal liberally parents both professors fathered Jamaicanmother from India. There's nothing wrong with
that, but she did not gothrough this supposed experience that she touted in
that debate and has at times onthe campaign trail like she was this poor
girl of color going to these schools. I mean it was a brief time
(02:17):
in Alameda County, her parents atBerkeley, and then, as Shapiro points
out, her family moved to Canadaand she lived in a rather wealthy portion
of Quebec at that time. Hereare the new polls though, NPR,
PBS, Merist has Trump up oneforty six forty five and a tie when
you go five ways, with KennedyStein West included. Yahoo News has it
(02:42):
a tie just the two of them, Trump v. Harris and Trump plus
two when it's the fiveway race andKennedy Stein West Morning Consult Trump plus two
forty seven forty five. Reuter's IPSOShas Harris up to forty four forty two.
Landmark Communications in Georgia has Trump justplus one there, but plus two
(03:06):
with the five candidates all included.This to say that the rolling average for
Real Clear Politics has been halved,basically from about a three point lead overall
for Trump v. Biden to onepoint six for Trump versus Harris. But
Harry Entton CNN he's a straight shooter, he's an honest broker, he calls
(03:27):
balls and strikes, and he's anumbers expert for CNN. He goes down
this road statistically on where the racestands right now. Let's take a look
here, just first at the favorableviews of Donald Trump. We know that
Donald Trump has historically been unpopular,but take a look now, after the
Republican National Convention and the ABC NewsZipsos poll, he recorded his highest ever
favorable rating at forty percent. That'snot a one off. Take a look
(03:49):
at the Quinnipiac University poll forty sixpercent. That's the highest ever in that
poster. The fact is Donald Trumpis more popular now than he ever has
been before. So yes, kratscan make this switch route, but they're
still going to have to beat DonaldTrump by Donald Trump, who is stronger
Sarah than he has ever been before. That favorability, he mentions after the
(04:10):
IRNC, But we can't lose inthis whole cycle, the impact of that
assassination attempt and Trump's reaction to it, his survival from it, and then
the fist in the air, theiconic image that the media is trying to
memory hole for many of us outhere, but nobody can forget that indelible
image from that day. Andton continueson Harris in the polling and what it
(04:31):
means. We've been focusing so muchon how Harris was doing better than Biden
and the pulling, and that's true. If we take a look at the
national average, what do we see. We see Donald Trump up by one.
That's a within the margin race,right, that's a close race.
But remember, of course, andthe national popular vote. Democrats tend to
do better there than they've done inthe electoral college, at least when Donald
Trump has been running for president.So last time around, when Joe Biden
(04:54):
barely won in the electoral college,he actually won the national popular vote by
four points. So at this point, Donald Trump is running five points better.
Five that's a five of some sort. Five points better than he was
four years ago against Joe Biden.And there were some real outlier polls at
that time. I believe one ofthem had Biden up by ten in Wisconsin.
(05:14):
That was obviously much closer. Alot of polls had him up six
to eight in the national popular vote. He ended up winning by only four
and a half and by winning fourand a half percentage points that margin for
Joe Biden barely winning the electoral college. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by
a little over two she lost theelectoral college. So if this race is
(05:36):
within that two points, it isand if Trump actually has a lead of
one or two or maybe it's atie, if it's in that ballpark that
range, that spells doom for theelectoral college prospects of Kamala Harris. And
Inton puts it all together here.So at this particular point, whether you
look at the federal ratings, whetheryou look at the horse race polling,
(05:57):
we see that Donald Trump is doingsignificantly better than he was doing four years
ago. At this point, KamalaHarris is going to have to do better
than this, of course, ifshe wants to win the popular vote,
but more than that, if shewants to win the electoral college, which
you'll likely have to outperform how she'sdone nationally, because the fact is,
if you've got to tie it inthe national popular vote, that is probably
not good enough if you're Kamala Harrisand you want to win the election against
(06:19):
Donald Trump. Remember the polling recentlythat showed generic democrat beating Donald Trump and
doing so soundly in a lot ofthe swing states. Because that's an idealized
notion of who that generic Democrat wouldbe would be Josh Shapiro, In some
people's minds, would it be GretchenWhitmer, and other people's minds. Now
that it's Kamala Harris and it's clarifiedand it will be her, that's no
(06:42):
longer a generic Democrat. That isKamala Harris for all of her pluses and
minuses, and there's a lot moreminuses, all of her attachment to the
Biden administration, everything that's gone onover these last four years, she owns
it at least in part, ifnot in hole. And so once people
are viewed that as the alternative,that the base is going to vote for
a ham sandwich against Donald Trump.On the left, Bill Maher famously said
(07:06):
he would vote for Joe Biden's headand a jar of blue liquid like from
Futurama. And there's a base that'sgoing to do that. But that's not
enough to win the election, that'snot enough to swing voters in swing states,
and that's just not going to getthe job done. And there's a
very large element of the American populationthat still doesn't really know who Kamala Harris
(07:28):
is, even after three and ahalf years as Vice president. All this
polling was taken before Kamala Harris actuallybecame the likely and now presumptive Democratic nominee,
given those delegates that have lined upbehind her. But keep in mind
this Donald Trump versus Joe Biden neverchanged. It was the least ballo race
on record. Even after that firstdebate, you saw a movement of a
(07:48):
point or two. Of course,Donald Trump and Joe Biden were basically universally
well known. So I want totake a look here, no opinion of
the candidate for Donald Trump. Itwas nine percent in the ABC News if
So's Paul that came out over theweekend. Well, look at this.
For Kamala Harris, nearly a fitof the electorate had no opinion of her,
And those opinions, in all honestyprobably weren't that well baked and they
(08:11):
just knew Harris as Biden's VP.I'm having a hard time believing that nine
percent of Americans have no opinion onDonald Trump at this point. I mean
good or bad people have an opinion. They know who he is, you
know, and whether they like himor not, And generally people are polarized
on that and literally meaning they reallyreally like him or they really really don't.
(08:31):
There's not a lot of people outthere going, eh, Donald Trump's
okay, have you met a personthat's like that? I don't know that
I have. I really haven't meta person like that. So what does
it all mean? I think HarryEnton does a nice job of tying it
all together right here. There area lot of folks that are going to
be taking a second look at KamalaHarris boy over the next week, over
the next month, all the wayup until the election. And the truth
(08:54):
is that presents Democrats with a majoropportunity right because it could be that their
perceptions of Kamala Harris are proven wrongbased upon her campaign rhetoric and her campaign
actions. But they could be provenwrong either way. She could be much
better than they think, or shecould be worse than they think. There's
still a lot to be determined here, Sarah. We start off this segment
saying, how crazy the last lessthan a month has been. This is
truly unprecedented. We can look atthe numbers now, but the real thing
(09:16):
to look at going down the roadis looking at those trend lines, because
the fact is, this is arace that is truly up for grabs.
It is, but then again itisn't if you look at the markers historically
that are set up. And thisis independent of my opinion of Kamala Harris,
which is not favorable. But ifyou just put that aside and look
(09:37):
at one hundred and five days togo, one hundred and five days to
go after today, including today,the fact that we're this stage of the
race and it's never been done.When Truman dropped out in fifty two was
March twenty ninth. When LBJ droppedout in nineteen sixty eight, it was
March thirty first. Biden drops outon June July twenty first. If he
(10:01):
were in a favorable position, thatwould still be a challenge. Let's say,
just for historical perspective, that latein Ronald Reagan's first term he needed
to drop out for some reason,and George Herbert Walker Bush, former head
of the CIA, pretty accomplished navypilot in World War Two, etc.
That he had to elevate to thecandidacy and take the torch from Ronald Reagan.
(10:26):
I still think it would have beena challenge for Herbert walker Bush in
nineteen eighty four. That being said, Biden was down in this race.
He was trending downward. The opinionof his policies, of everything he was
doing was trending away from the DemocraticParty and toward Donald Trump. So not
only is it a shorter timeline forKamala Harris, she's having to overcome that
(10:48):
obstacle of perception of the administration notdoing a good job, not being ready
for the task, and the stateof the economy. The issues are stacked
against her. What did she comeout out and try to champion today in
her first ever campaign stump speech thatI highlighted off the top of the show.
Abortion. I mean, that's animportant issue to many. In fact,
(11:11):
there are many that I know thatonly vote on that issue, which
I think is patently insane. Butokay, if you're okay with a war
exploding around us, an economy crashingwithin us, but you could still kill
babies and that's your issue, wellhave at it. I guess vote Democrat.
But for her to make that atop line issue in her speech,
that shows they got nothing in thecabinet in terms of slings and arrows to
(11:33):
use against Trump. They don't havea list of tremendous accomplishments all they're railing
against is an issue that they couldnever solve during their three and a half
years in office because the Congress turnedRepublican at least in the House. Plus
this canard, this lie, thisfever dream about. Will pass an amendment
to codify Roe versus Wade, andI will sign it into law. She
(11:54):
said that today, Kamala Harris,that's a joke. That's never going to
happen. If it was going tohappen, guess when it would have happened
in two thousand and nine or twentyten, Because then Barack Obama won a
soaring victory over John McCain. TheDemocrats, Nancy Pelosi Chuck Schumer had control
of both the House and the Senate. They passed Obamacare instead. Now,
(12:18):
I know they wanted to work hardon that and focus on that. Okay,
but ask yourself, if you're aliberal, if you're a Democrat,
if you're a leftist, if youlove abortion, why wasn't it done then?
And if it wasn't done then,how in the hell are they going
to do it now? There isn'ta consensus on abortion. It's a highly
divisive issue. I don't know whyshe would bring it out in the rhetoric,
except that it plays to the leftand does not play to the middle.
(12:41):
Donald Trump's stanchion approach on this issueis very largely reflective of my own.
He is a moderate. He's beenthat way throughout his entire candidacy,
going back to when he was presidentand before then. Even he believes in
the three exceptions. He focuses onthat in cases of rape incests, life
of the mother at stake important thatyou specify life of the mother, not
(13:01):
health of the mother, because healthof the mother that's a pretty broad definition
mental health of the mother. No, he doesn't believe in that, and
when asked about it directly in adebate by Dana Bash, that's fair CNN,
fair game, he said he prefershow it is right now that the
matter is left up to the states, that California will have a particular law
(13:22):
in the books, Colorado has aparticular law in the books. It's very
far left, in my opinion,but that states like Alabama and Texas and
Florida, and they would have differentlaws on the books. He also said
in that debate he would not signa national ban on abortion, nor would
he try to get in the wayof the Supreme Court decision about the Morning
After pill. He said all ofthat. That was all on the record.
(13:46):
So I don't know what she's runningagainst. She's running against an apparition,
something that doesn't exist. But it'sthe only thing she's got. Think
about that, and she's talking whatabout guns? What did she look at
polling at all before she came outout today? And that two minute montage
I presented to you, she didn'ttalk about any of the issues that are
front of mine for voters right now. The economy and the border are too,
(14:09):
probably at the top. But shetells us Wisconsin crowd that she's going
to work on the right to livesafe from gun violence. How about the
gun violence in the inner cities.Why don't we ever hear about that?
We heard Jamie Raskin and some ofthese other rashida to lead far leftists,
and the hearing yesterday turn that intoa carnival. Not about Kim Cheetle or
(14:30):
the failed Secret Service protection of DonaldTrump in Butler, Pennsylvania, but about
guns and how we've got to banguns. What about the shootings on the
streets of Chicago that would not bealleviated by any gun control laws because they're
handguns. They want to ban longrifles whatever. However they define assault rifles,
which again that's up for debate.But Kamala Harris comes out with a
(14:54):
far left message today. I don'tin Wisconsin a swing state. You think
people in Wisconsin. I know peoplein Wisconsin. They reflect a lot of
the people I grew up with inrural northern lower Michigan. You think they
don't like guns, rifles hunting inWisconsin, in Green Bay and fond of
Loac. Come on, So shecomes out again far left. Listen to
(15:18):
this just about guns. This portion, this is from the earlier montage.
Now, Wisconsin, the baton isin our hands. We who believe in
the sacred freedom to vote. We'llmake sure every American has the ability to
cast their ballot and have it counted. We who believe that every person in
(15:41):
our nation should who should have thefreedom to live safe from the terror of
gun violence, will finally pass redflag laws, universal background checks. In
an assault weapons band that plays bigin Wisconsin, totally tone deaf. She
has no idea what the middle ofthe country thinks. People like myself that
(16:04):
are from there. What's important tous are core ideals. She is campaigning
for the votes of the coastal liberalelice that she's already got. This is
not a base election for the laughfor Democrats, not at all. They've
already had that sewn up. Theyare losing the middle of the country.
Sean O'Brien, the president of theTeamsters, spoke at the Republican National Convention
(16:27):
that would have been unheard of thirtyyears ago. Bill Clinton had that lock
stock and barrel, all the unionsupport, and it's slipping away because they
don't understand the working class. Theydon't care about the working class. Gun
bands, abortion, Are those eventop five issues for the average American right
now living in Wisconsin, Minnesota,Michigan, Pennsylvania. They are not not
(16:52):
for the average middle of the road, undecided, unaffiliated, independent, moderate
voter. That's not top minor.But she's stuck in this leftist kind of
bubble that has her trapped in thismode of thinking. She's not she's not
malleable in terms of a move tothe center. I don't think she's capable
of it, which is what isnecessary. And this time she is not
(17:15):
ready for this, folks. She'sjust not. She was not ready for
a primary. And that's one whereyou run to the left right in the
primary, and then you run backto the middle in a general election.
She can't do the latter. She'snever done it. She can't do it.
And here's Donald Trump. Remember theearlier rip on her love of buses.
Well, DJT caught up. Hepicked up on that, and he
(17:37):
spoke about it with Tucker Carlson awhile back. She has some bad moments.
Her moments are almost as bad asis. I think his are worse.
Actually, yeah, she seems prettysanil too. She speaks in rhyme.
It's weird. It's weird, butshe has bad moments and in rhyme.
Well, the way she talks,the bus will go here and then
the bus will go there, becausethat's what busy. And it's weird.
(18:00):
The whole thing is weird. Thisis not a president of the United States
future. And I think they probablyhave some kind of a primary. Well
they did, and they didn't.They had it, and then they threw
it out and now they installed Kamaand they're pretending everybody had everything to do
with it. The voting ranks ofthe Democratic Party had nothing to do with
(18:21):
it. We'll talk more about thiswith Miranda Devine New York Post and we
come back. I'm sure she's gotplenty to say. You want to stick

will sign it into life. KamalaHarris from her earlier address, the first
(20:17):
on the campaign stop as a candidatepresumptive, that is for the Democratic Party,
Ryan Shuling back with you here onsix point thirty k how Miranda Devine
now joins us from the New YorkPost d And Miranda, what I took
away from her speech today? Shefocused on two issues very important to the
left, gun control and abortion.And where does that rank among the top
five or ten issues for the averagevoter nationally in twenty twenty four. That
(20:44):
is a very good question, andit shows you what a niche left candidate
she is. I mean, thethings that people care about and that polls
show that they care about and arethe most important in their daily lives are
the economy, inflation, and ofcourse the migrant crisis we've had. You
know, over ten million illegal migrantshave come into this country. And you
(21:08):
know, as Donald Trump says athis rallies when he names the names of
the women and girls just in thelast several months who have been murdered and
raped by illegal aliens, that iswhat's on people's minds. Law and order
and the economy, and obviously themigrant issue. Illegal migrant issue, the
broken border is part of the lawand order breakdown under the Biden Harris administration.
(21:33):
And Harris, of course doesn't wantto talk about any of that because
she was the designated border Za MirandaDevine. You can follow her on x
at Miranda Divine, of course,of the New York Post and author of
Laptop from Hell, a tremendous book, the investigator reporting that it took to
go into the level of detail thatshe was able to access. And on
(21:55):
that note, Miranda, nobody,in my opinion, is a better expert
on the Biden fan the Biden crimefamily than you are and I was a
bit surprised though, that, evenin his diminished state, even after the
debate performance, with his clutches onpower and doctor Jill Biden on one side
and Hunter on the other, andtheir desire for him to stay in the
race, that he got out ofthe race. And the only thing I
(22:17):
can arrive at is that he waswilling to do it with a lot of
pressure kind of exerted on him byNancy Pelosi and others, but with the
guarantee and the promise that he'd beable to serve out the remainder of his
term without resigning. Can you buildon that? Do you disagree with that?
What do you think? No?I think that's spot on from what
we know of the Biden family,their giant grists, Joe Biden's power and
(22:41):
influence has been funding this family fornigh on half a century really, and
they especially you know, with thenew generation, the grandchildren, Hunter and
his hangars on. Everybody has mademoney and lived high on the hog,
with very lavish lifestyles, going toall the best universities, having five star
(23:06):
holidays and living in luxurious housing.Joe Biden himself, he calls himself the
poorest man in Congress, but he'slived in DuPont Mansions in Delaware. He
lives now in this lavish estate thathe built himself, had built for him
by master builders from Pennsylvania, andit's a gorgeous house on a lake.
(23:27):
And he is certainly used to thefiner things in life, as is Jill
Biden, who is jetting off toParis later this week for the Olympics and
presumably to fit in a little bitof shopping at the same time. So
this is a family that loves luxury. They have a caviaer lifestyle. So
there is no way that they wouldgo into that dark night without extracting the
(23:52):
last bit of power that Joe Bidenhad, which was that it was his
decision to step down and not recontestthe election, That last little shred of
power he would have maximized and leaveRidged and his family around him into a
very generous golden parachute from all theassorted Democrat donors that had decided he had
(24:15):
to go, And of course partof that was allowing him to stay on
for the next six months as president. And you can bet that Air Force
One will be getting a really heavyworkout as the all the extended family members
go on dream holidays. You know, maybe they'll go for another ancestral tour
to Ireland. And also, ofcourse, first and foremost will be pardoned
(24:40):
for Hunter Biden over the already hisfelony gun conviction and whatever transpires with this
upcoming tax trial felny trial in Californiain September, and potentially also Joe Biden's
brother Jim Biden, who has legalissues of his own. Branda Divine New
York Post, joining us here shoolingwith you on six point thirty k.
(25:00):
How we'll talk about the mechanics ofhow the Democrats did this in pivoting from
Biden to Harris in a moment.But I don't focus, Miranda, on
how the Democratic Party, the machinelet it get to this point in the
first place. Historically, the onlypresident we have, if you want to
call it modern history in America,is Truman fifty two LBJ sixty eight.
(25:22):
They both dropped out of their respectivereelection bids late March. This is like
four months later that Joe Biden doesit. Why did the Democratic Party wait
so long and put themselves in thisbind? Well, I think it's because
they had come to the conclusion thatthe staff and the media was happy to
(25:47):
cover for Joe Biden, and youknow, presumably they thought that they could
continue to cover for him through anotherelection. But something changed. And whether
or not it was Joe Biden's behaviorwhen he was overseas at the G seven,
his strange wandering and neandering around,and you know the fact that foreign
(26:10):
dignitaries were all talking about him bythe time he came back and appeared at
that fundraiser in Hollywood, and whenBarack Obama very ostentatiously and solicitously put his
arm around him, so tapped himon the risk because Biden was standing there
like a stun mullet, just seeminglyfrozen in place. And then Obama,
(26:33):
instead of being subtle about it,he made a real display as he walked
Joe Biden across the stage, pattinghim on the back all the way,
letting everyone see that he was treatingthe sitting president of the United States like
a child, like a helpless infant, and that I think was assigned to
everybody. And we heard later fromGeorge Clooney, who was the MC for
(26:56):
the evening, that he was shockedat how out of it Joe Biden.
So I think a decision was sortof made then, and perhaps they set
him up to fail that there issome talk of that that they set him
up to fail at that debate.If he was as adult as he was
on stage before going into that debate, as he must have been, you
(27:18):
would think that the people around himwould have said, look, let's pull
out. He's got COVID, he'san Emergency's come up with some lie.
They lie all the time, butthey let him go out on the stage
with no props, no teleprompter,no notes, and just failed for ninety
minutes solid. And after that itwas impossible to keep him going. I
(27:40):
think they wanted to display to thedonors and the remaining supporters that it was
impossible to get him through an election. Branda Divine New York Post. I
got to go back to a termthat you used RAND to make sure I
got this right. Stunned mullet,like a fish to be an Australianism.
Stunned Mullets and I were cracking uphere. I had to turn the mic
off because it was so funny.But I want to talk about Kamala Harris
(28:07):
and this pivot by the Democratic Partyand this very unconvincing, insincere endorsement we
saw from Chuck Schumer and Akeem Jeffriestoday, I want to go back to
the Chuck Schumer sound here is that? So, now that the process is
played out from the grassroots bottom up, we are here today to throw our
support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.I'm clapping, you don't have to,
(28:33):
oh my goodness. But first question, are they really better off the Democratic
Party with Kamala Harris as their nomineethan the sitting President of the United States
Joe Biden, no matter how adledhe is. Well, you know,
she was so unpopular and so unlikablethat she didn't even make it into twenty
(28:55):
twenty with her aborted presidential bid.She really, I mean, she came
in soaring high, because on paper, she looks fantastic, you know,
black woman, she's young ish,fifty five, former prosecutor, you know,
former DA et cetera California. Sheseems like she ought to be good.
(29:17):
And then you take one look ather and her cackling and her vacuous
pronouncements. She honestly seems as ifshe's high all the time, and there
was a leak from I think itwas in Actios talking about she had to
appear at some dinner a while back, and she was so anxious about it
that they decided to have a kindof a rehearsal dinner and where her staff
(29:40):
members play acted the various dignitaries shewould have to meet to try and relax
her. So she is a veryhighly strong individual and just fake. You
know every single that you just mentionedwhen she stood up at his campaign headquarters
and paid tribute to Joe Biden andhe was on the line, and just
her voice was dripping with insincerity.I mean, she is trying to act
(30:04):
like she's emotional about things, butshe's not. She's just a very strange
fish, and people pick that up. There's a sort of a visceral reaction,
especially with women who are repulsed byinsincerity and fakeness in other women.
Maybe men don't pick it up asmuch because she's very coquetiians locacious, but
women see it straight away. Ithink she's very unpopular, and I guess
(30:29):
the only solution for them if theystick with her, is to do a
semi basement strategy with her. Justhave a lot of videos, and she's
attractive. You know. We justsaw Michael Steele, the former RNZ cham
and just tweeted out an image,an AI image of Kamela as a wonder
woman, you know. And they'repressing the use thing that she's younger,
(30:53):
you know, by fifteen years ormore than Donald Trump. So I think
they'll go with the woman, youknow, young fresh blood and get some
excitement going. No doubt that willhappen. Donald Trump's upholster has just issued
a memorandum to the campaign saying,expect a honeymoon bump in the polls for
(31:15):
Kamila Harris and you know, we'lljust ride it out and see what happens
at the end of it. Ithink she also got a honeymoon in her
first presidential bid. I think hernumbers got up to about fifteen percent,
and then when people saw what shewas really like, it just plummeted to
I think two percent, and shehad to get out. Yeah, both
in that race, and I believeit will happen. And this one.
(31:37):
She can't pivot to the middle.She can't run that way because she's not
of the middle. I don't thinkshe can even speak the issues to the
middle of America and their voters andthe independence and the persuadables. And to
your point, Miranda, I thinkthe more people see her, the more
people hear her, the less theylike her. And I believe it'll play
out as you describe. Follow heron exit, Miranda Devine, and of
course read her work at the NewYork Post. Always working seems twenty four
(32:00):
to seven. So Miranda, we'realways thankful for your time. Thanks for
it today, great Choki, Ryan, Thanks so much, Miranda Devine,
New York Post. Right there,we'll take a break, come back with
your text five seven, seven thirtynine here on six point thirty km.
And it's a specific phase of life. Remember, age is more than a
chronological fact. What else do weknow about this population eighteenth through twenty four?
(32:24):
They are stupid. That is whywe put them in dormitories, and
they have a resident assistant. Theymake really bad decisions. Wow, that's
a flashback from about ten years ago. May twenty fourteen, Kamala Harris,
(32:44):
now the presumptive Democratic nominee, sayingthat people eighteen to twenty four are stupid.
That's a really good way to pickup that vote. And I might
add the young vote. Gen Z'sGod Love You, They might save us.
After all, Trump is winning bigin the younger voter demographic, could
be more like eighteen to thirty fouragainst Kamala Harris head to head. She's
(33:06):
just not relatable and I think that'sgonna work against her. To the text,
we go the two minute warning fiveseven, seven, three nine,
start them Ryan always, If youwould please, Ryan, I've been out
of town all last week and missedlistening to you in your takes. What
a week to miss jeez. You'reright, But the good news is you
can download and subscribe to the podcastversion of this program on any major podcast
(33:29):
platform, So please do that,and if you would be so kind as
to give a five star rating,that would be appreciated as well. Another
person tuning in late, Ryan,I missed the first hour. Do you
still think Biden's going to stay aspresident for six months? Yes? And
I just had that conversation with MirandaDevine, who is as plugged in on
her reporting to the Biden family asanybody on the planet for The New York
(33:51):
Post, when she agreed with mytake that there was a deal made Joe
you Bo out of the race.Now we'll let you serve out your term.
Which is interesting because I think theonly way that Kamala Harris could have
won this election is if Biden wouldhave also resigned the office. She ascends
to the presidency and then has thatto run on, but she's not gonna
get that. She's just not goingto get that. Let me see here,
(34:15):
Kimberley, this is a good one. I think you have to inform
Kelly that when you say good nightGracie, she's supposed to repeat it.
Well, she's even more like Gracythat she doesn't know that. So I'm
kind of in a conundrum there.Do I tell her and then she's aware
of it, or though I haveher be more like Gracy Burns. It's
a real, real pickle, andshe's nicknamed Pickles by the way, because
she loves Clawson's Let me see here, Ryan, will you take over for
(34:38):
Leland and do drunk Kamala slow downher voice. She sounds like she's drunk
on red wine. Please please,please please please a lot of those.
A couple things there, she alreadysounds that way too. I respect the
integrity of the bit and it's Leland'sand his alone. If he gives me
a version of it that he's usedin San Diego on Cogo, I'll gladly
replay that for you. The deepthoughts with VP Harris, that's mine,
(35:00):
and so you hear more of those. There'll be hundreds coming your way,
Heidi Ganal coming your way next.Filling in for Dan Kaplis
A'll lot texts coming in and we'llget to those in just a moment.
You can send yours long five seven, seven, three nine, starting Ryan,
if you would please. Some havebeen a little bit colorful. We'll
get to those too. Kelly Cacherraalongside, she's helping filter through those.
She's reading a book. She's doinga lot of things over that. I
don't even know what's going on.I am running my own board today.
That's the case for the rest ofthis week, and then the jazz Man
he is back on Saturday, andhe'll be back for large portions of this
(00:25):
program coming up next week. Ialso remind you to stay tuned following today's
show. Heidi Ganall special guest host, as she was yesterday for the Dan
Kaplis Show. Today, Dan's takingtoday off from a remote location in Switzerland.
So hopefully he's enjoying that thirtieth anniversarycelebration with Amy in the Alps,
(00:45):
and I think very good for hismarriage. He is taking today off and
not dialing in for the show.Well, the numbers that are coming in
these are early, but they arebetter for Harris so far than they are
for Joe Biden. But I offera word of caution for those on the
left, and that is things areas good as they're going to get for
Kamala Harris, probably right now,because the less people know about her,
(01:07):
the more they like her, andthe more people know about her, the
less they like her. That wasevidenced again in the twenty twenty campaign,
in which she did not even makeit to Iowa. She was running eighth
in her home state of California.Now was a crowded field, but she
never really broke through. Her lonedebate moment was against Joe Biden, basically
(01:32):
calling him racis for opposing desegregation ofschools through bussing, the integration of schools
through bussing, and something that BenShapiro has revealed in Scamala, which I
advised you to watch on Daily WirePlus. If you're able to subscribe,
you can do that about her upbringingbeing one from tremendous wealth, privilege,
(01:56):
coastal liberally parents both professors fathered Jamaicanmother from India. There's nothing wrong with
that, but she did not gothrough this supposed experience that she touted in
that debate and has at times onthe campaign trail like she was this poor
girl of color going to these schools. I mean it was a brief time
(02:17):
in Alameda County, her parents atBerkeley, and then, as Shapiro points
out, her family moved to Canadaand she lived in a rather wealthy portion
of Quebec at that time. Hereare the new polls though, NPR,
PBS, Merist has Trump up oneforty six forty five and a tie when
you go five ways, with KennedyStein West included. Yahoo News has it
(02:42):
a tie just the two of them, Trump v. Harris and Trump plus
two when it's the fiveway race andKennedy Stein West Morning Consult Trump plus two
forty seven forty five. Reuter's IPSOShas Harris up to forty four forty two.
Landmark Communications in Georgia has Trump justplus one there, but plus two
(03:06):
with the five candidates all included.This to say that the rolling average for
Real Clear Politics has been halved,basically from about a three point lead overall
for Trump v. Biden to onepoint six for Trump versus Harris. But
Harry Entton CNN he's a straight shooter, he's an honest broker, he calls
(03:27):
balls and strikes, and he's anumbers expert for CNN. He goes down
this road statistically on where the racestands right now. Let's take a look
here, just first at the favorableviews of Donald Trump. We know that
Donald Trump has historically been unpopular,but take a look now, after the
Republican National Convention and the ABC NewsZipsos poll, he recorded his highest ever
favorable rating at forty percent. That'snot a one off. Take a look
(03:49):
at the Quinnipiac University poll forty sixpercent. That's the highest ever in that
poster. The fact is Donald Trumpis more popular now than he ever has
been before. So yes, kratscan make this switch route, but they're
still going to have to beat DonaldTrump by Donald Trump, who is stronger
Sarah than he has ever been before. That favorability, he mentions after the
(04:10):
IRNC, But we can't lose inthis whole cycle, the impact of that
assassination attempt and Trump's reaction to it, his survival from it, and then
the fist in the air, theiconic image that the media is trying to
memory hole for many of us outhere, but nobody can forget that indelible
image from that day. Andton continueson Harris in the polling and what it
(04:31):
means. We've been focusing so muchon how Harris was doing better than Biden
and the pulling, and that's true. If we take a look at the
national average, what do we see. We see Donald Trump up by one.
That's a within the margin race,right, that's a close race.
But remember, of course, andthe national popular vote. Democrats tend to
do better there than they've done inthe electoral college, at least when Donald
Trump has been running for president.So last time around, when Joe Biden
(04:54):
barely won in the electoral college,he actually won the national popular vote by
four points. So at this point, Donald Trump is running five points better.
Five that's a five of some sort. Five points better than he was
four years ago against Joe Biden.And there were some real outlier polls at
that time. I believe one ofthem had Biden up by ten in Wisconsin.
(05:14):
That was obviously much closer. Alot of polls had him up six
to eight in the national popular vote. He ended up winning by only four
and a half and by winning fourand a half percentage points that margin for
Joe Biden barely winning the electoral college. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by
a little over two she lost theelectoral college. So if this race is
(05:36):
within that two points, it isand if Trump actually has a lead of
one or two or maybe it's atie, if it's in that ballpark that
range, that spells doom for theelectoral college prospects of Kamala Harris. And
Inton puts it all together here.So at this particular point, whether you
look at the federal ratings, whetheryou look at the horse race polling,
(05:57):
we see that Donald Trump is doingsignificantly better than he was doing four years
ago. At this point, KamalaHarris is going to have to do better
than this, of course, ifshe wants to win the popular vote,
but more than that, if shewants to win the electoral college, which
you'll likely have to outperform how she'sdone nationally, because the fact is,
if you've got to tie it inthe national popular vote, that is probably
not good enough if you're Kamala Harrisand you want to win the election against
(06:19):
Donald Trump. Remember the polling recentlythat showed generic democrat beating Donald Trump and
doing so soundly in a lot ofthe swing states. Because that's an idealized
notion of who that generic Democrat wouldbe would be Josh Shapiro, In some
people's minds, would it be GretchenWhitmer, and other people's minds. Now
that it's Kamala Harris and it's clarifiedand it will be her, that's no
(06:42):
longer a generic Democrat. That isKamala Harris for all of her pluses and
minuses, and there's a lot moreminuses, all of her attachment to the
Biden administration, everything that's gone onover these last four years, she owns
it at least in part, ifnot in hole. And so once people
are viewed that as the alternative,that the base is going to vote for
a ham sandwich against Donald Trump.On the left, Bill Maher famously said
(07:06):
he would vote for Joe Biden's headand a jar of blue liquid like from
Futurama. And there's a base that'sgoing to do that. But that's not
enough to win the election, that'snot enough to swing voters in swing states,
and that's just not going to getthe job done. And there's a
very large element of the American populationthat still doesn't really know who Kamala Harris
(07:28):
is, even after three and ahalf years as Vice president. All this
polling was taken before Kamala Harris actuallybecame the likely and now presumptive Democratic nominee,
given those delegates that have lined upbehind her. But keep in mind
this Donald Trump versus Joe Biden neverchanged. It was the least ballo race
on record. Even after that firstdebate, you saw a movement of a
(07:48):
point or two. Of course,Donald Trump and Joe Biden were basically universally
well known. So I want totake a look here, no opinion of
the candidate for Donald Trump. Itwas nine percent in the ABC News if
So's Paul that came out over theweekend. Well, look at this.
For Kamala Harris, nearly a fitof the electorate had no opinion of her,
And those opinions, in all honestyprobably weren't that well baked and they
(08:11):
just knew Harris as Biden's VP.I'm having a hard time believing that nine
percent of Americans have no opinion onDonald Trump at this point. I mean
good or bad people have an opinion. They know who he is, you
know, and whether they like himor not, And generally people are polarized
on that and literally meaning they reallyreally like him or they really really don't.
(08:31):
There's not a lot of people outthere going, eh, Donald Trump's
okay, have you met a personthat's like that? I don't know that
I have. I really haven't meta person like that. So what does
it all mean? I think HarryEnton does a nice job of tying it
all together right here. There area lot of folks that are going to
be taking a second look at KamalaHarris boy over the next week, over
the next month, all the wayup until the election. And the truth
(08:54):
is that presents Democrats with a majoropportunity right because it could be that their
perceptions of Kamala Harris are proven wrongbased upon her campaign rhetoric and her campaign
actions. But they could be provenwrong either way. She could be much
better than they think, or shecould be worse than they think. There's
still a lot to be determined here, Sarah. We start off this segment
saying, how crazy the last lessthan a month has been. This is
truly unprecedented. We can look atthe numbers now, but the real thing
(09:16):
to look at going down the roadis looking at those trend lines, because
the fact is, this is arace that is truly up for grabs.
It is, but then again itisn't if you look at the markers historically
that are set up. And thisis independent of my opinion of Kamala Harris,
which is not favorable. But ifyou just put that aside and look
(09:37):
at one hundred and five days togo, one hundred and five days to
go after today, including today,the fact that we're this stage of the
race and it's never been done.When Truman dropped out in fifty two was
March twenty ninth. When LBJ droppedout in nineteen sixty eight, it was
March thirty first. Biden drops outon June July twenty first. If he
(10:01):
were in a favorable position, thatwould still be a challenge. Let's say,
just for historical perspective, that latein Ronald Reagan's first term he needed
to drop out for some reason,and George Herbert Walker Bush, former head
of the CIA, pretty accomplished navypilot in World War Two, etc.
That he had to elevate to thecandidacy and take the torch from Ronald Reagan.
(10:26):
I still think it would have beena challenge for Herbert walker Bush in
nineteen eighty four. That being said, Biden was down in this race.
He was trending downward. The opinionof his policies, of everything he was
doing was trending away from the DemocraticParty and toward Donald Trump. So not
only is it a shorter timeline forKamala Harris, she's having to overcome that
(10:48):
obstacle of perception of the administration notdoing a good job, not being ready
for the task, and the stateof the economy. The issues are stacked
against her. What did she comeout out and try to champion today in
her first ever campaign stump speech thatI highlighted off the top of the show.
Abortion. I mean, that's animportant issue to many. In fact,
(11:11):
there are many that I know thatonly vote on that issue, which
I think is patently insane. Butokay, if you're okay with a war
exploding around us, an economy crashingwithin us, but you could still kill
babies and that's your issue, wellhave at it. I guess vote Democrat.
But for her to make that atop line issue in her speech,
that shows they got nothing in thecabinet in terms of slings and arrows to
(11:33):
use against Trump. They don't havea list of tremendous accomplishments all they're railing
against is an issue that they couldnever solve during their three and a half
years in office because the Congress turnedRepublican at least in the House. Plus
this canard, this lie, thisfever dream about. Will pass an amendment
to codify Roe versus Wade, andI will sign it into law. She
(11:54):
said that today, Kamala Harris,that's a joke. That's never going to
happen. If it was going tohappen, guess when it would have happened
in two thousand and nine or twentyten, Because then Barack Obama won a
soaring victory over John McCain. TheDemocrats, Nancy Pelosi Chuck Schumer had control
of both the House and the Senate. They passed Obamacare instead. Now,
(12:18):
I know they wanted to work hardon that and focus on that. Okay,
but ask yourself, if you're aliberal, if you're a Democrat,
if you're a leftist, if youlove abortion, why wasn't it done then?
And if it wasn't done then,how in the hell are they going
to do it now? There isn'ta consensus on abortion. It's a highly
divisive issue. I don't know whyshe would bring it out in the rhetoric,
except that it plays to the leftand does not play to the middle.
(12:41):
Donald Trump's stanchion approach on this issueis very largely reflective of my own.
He is a moderate. He's beenthat way throughout his entire candidacy,
going back to when he was presidentand before then. Even he believes in
the three exceptions. He focuses onthat in cases of rape incests, life
of the mother at stake important thatyou specify life of the mother, not
(13:01):
health of the mother, because healthof the mother that's a pretty broad definition
mental health of the mother. No, he doesn't believe in that, and
when asked about it directly in adebate by Dana Bash, that's fair CNN,
fair game, he said he prefershow it is right now that the
matter is left up to the states, that California will have a particular law
(13:22):
in the books, Colorado has aparticular law in the books. It's very
far left, in my opinion,but that states like Alabama and Texas and
Florida, and they would have differentlaws on the books. He also said
in that debate he would not signa national ban on abortion, nor would
he try to get in the wayof the Supreme Court decision about the Morning
After pill. He said all ofthat. That was all on the record.
(13:46):
So I don't know what she's runningagainst. She's running against an apparition,
something that doesn't exist. But it'sthe only thing she's got. Think
about that, and she's talking whatabout guns? What did she look at
polling at all before she came outout today? And that two minute montage
I presented to you, she didn'ttalk about any of the issues that are
front of mine for voters right now. The economy and the border are too,
(14:09):
probably at the top. But shetells us Wisconsin crowd that she's going
to work on the right to livesafe from gun violence. How about the
gun violence in the inner cities.Why don't we ever hear about that?
We heard Jamie Raskin and some ofthese other rashida to lead far leftists,
and the hearing yesterday turn that intoa carnival. Not about Kim Cheetle or
(14:30):
the failed Secret Service protection of DonaldTrump in Butler, Pennsylvania, but about
guns and how we've got to banguns. What about the shootings on the
streets of Chicago that would not bealleviated by any gun control laws because they're
handguns. They want to ban longrifles whatever. However they define assault rifles,
which again that's up for debate.But Kamala Harris comes out with a
(14:54):
far left message today. I don'tin Wisconsin a swing state. You think
people in Wisconsin. I know peoplein Wisconsin. They reflect a lot of
the people I grew up with inrural northern lower Michigan. You think they
don't like guns, rifles hunting inWisconsin, in Green Bay and fond of
Loac. Come on, So shecomes out again far left. Listen to
(15:18):
this just about guns. This portion, this is from the earlier montage.
Now, Wisconsin, the baton isin our hands. We who believe in
the sacred freedom to vote. We'llmake sure every American has the ability to
cast their ballot and have it counted. We who believe that every person in
(15:41):
our nation should who should have thefreedom to live safe from the terror of
gun violence, will finally pass redflag laws, universal background checks. In
an assault weapons band that plays bigin Wisconsin, totally tone deaf. She
has no idea what the middle ofthe country thinks. People like myself that
(16:04):
are from there. What's important tous are core ideals. She is campaigning
for the votes of the coastal liberalelice that she's already got. This is
not a base election for the laughfor Democrats, not at all. They've
already had that sewn up. Theyare losing the middle of the country.
Sean O'Brien, the president of theTeamsters, spoke at the Republican National Convention
(16:27):
that would have been unheard of thirtyyears ago. Bill Clinton had that lock
stock and barrel, all the unionsupport, and it's slipping away because they
don't understand the working class. Theydon't care about the working class. Gun
bands, abortion, Are those eventop five issues for the average American right
now living in Wisconsin, Minnesota,Michigan, Pennsylvania. They are not not
(16:52):
for the average middle of the road, undecided, unaffiliated, independent, moderate
voter. That's not top minor.But she's stuck in this leftist kind of
bubble that has her trapped in thismode of thinking. She's not she's not
malleable in terms of a move tothe center. I don't think she's capable
of it, which is what isnecessary. And this time she is not
(17:15):
ready for this, folks. She'sjust not. She was not ready for
a primary. And that's one whereyou run to the left right in the
primary, and then you run backto the middle in a general election.
She can't do the latter. She'snever done it. She can't do it.
And here's Donald Trump. Remember theearlier rip on her love of buses.
Well, DJT caught up. Hepicked up on that, and he
(17:37):
spoke about it with Tucker Carlson awhile back. She has some bad moments.
Her moments are almost as bad asis. I think his are worse.
Actually, yeah, she seems prettysanil too. She speaks in rhyme.
It's weird. It's weird, butshe has bad moments and in rhyme.
Well, the way she talks,the bus will go here and then
the bus will go there, becausethat's what busy. And it's weird.
(18:00):
The whole thing is weird. Thisis not a president of the United States
future. And I think they probablyhave some kind of a primary. Well
they did, and they didn't.They had it, and then they threw
it out and now they installed Kamaand they're pretending everybody had everything to do
with it. The voting ranks ofthe Democratic Party had nothing to do with
(18:21):
it. We'll talk more about thiswith Miranda Devine New York Post and we
come back. I'm sure she's gotplenty to say. You want to stick
around for that, Ryan schuling backwith you after this on six point thirty

(19:56):
about their own body. The sumpermentalthen what to do, and when Congress
passes a law to restore reproductive freedomsas president of the United States, I
will sign it into life. KamalaHarris from her earlier address, the first
(20:17):
on the campaign stop as a candidatepresumptive, that is for the Democratic Party,
Ryan Shuling back with you here onsix point thirty k how Miranda Devine
now joins us from the New YorkPost d And Miranda, what I took
away from her speech today? Shefocused on two issues very important to the
left, gun control and abortion.And where does that rank among the top
five or ten issues for the averagevoter nationally in twenty twenty four. That
(20:44):
is a very good question, andit shows you what a niche left candidate
she is. I mean, thethings that people care about and that polls
show that they care about and arethe most important in their daily lives are
the economy, inflation, and ofcourse the migrant crisis we've had. You
know, over ten million illegal migrantshave come into this country. And you
(21:08):
know, as Donald Trump says athis rallies when he names the names of
the women and girls just in thelast several months who have been murdered and
raped by illegal aliens, that iswhat's on people's minds. Law and order
and the economy, and obviously themigrant issue. Illegal migrant issue, the
broken border is part of the lawand order breakdown under the Biden Harris administration.
(21:33):
And Harris, of course doesn't wantto talk about any of that because
she was the designated border Za MirandaDevine. You can follow her on x
at Miranda Divine, of course,of the New York Post and author of
Laptop from Hell, a tremendous book, the investigator reporting that it took to
go into the level of detail thatshe was able to access. And on
(21:55):
that note, Miranda, nobody,in my opinion, is a better expert
on the Biden fan the Biden crimefamily than you are and I was a
bit surprised though, that, evenin his diminished state, even after the
debate performance, with his clutches onpower and doctor Jill Biden on one side
and Hunter on the other, andtheir desire for him to stay in the
race, that he got out ofthe race. And the only thing I
(22:17):
can arrive at is that he waswilling to do it with a lot of
pressure kind of exerted on him byNancy Pelosi and others, but with the
guarantee and the promise that he'd beable to serve out the remainder of his
term without resigning. Can you buildon that? Do you disagree with that?
What do you think? No?I think that's spot on from what
we know of the Biden family,their giant grists, Joe Biden's power and
(22:41):
influence has been funding this family fornigh on half a century really, and
they especially you know, with thenew generation, the grandchildren, Hunter and
his hangars on. Everybody has mademoney and lived high on the hog,
with very lavish lifestyles, going toall the best universities, having five star
(23:06):
holidays and living in luxurious housing.Joe Biden himself, he calls himself the
poorest man in Congress, but he'slived in DuPont Mansions in Delaware. He
lives now in this lavish estate thathe built himself, had built for him
by master builders from Pennsylvania, andit's a gorgeous house on a lake.
(23:27):
And he is certainly used to thefiner things in life, as is Jill
Biden, who is jetting off toParis later this week for the Olympics and
presumably to fit in a little bitof shopping at the same time. So
this is a family that loves luxury. They have a caviaer lifestyle. So
there is no way that they wouldgo into that dark night without extracting the
(23:52):
last bit of power that Joe Bidenhad, which was that it was his
decision to step down and not recontestthe election, That last little shred of
power he would have maximized and leaveRidged and his family around him into a
very generous golden parachute from all theassorted Democrat donors that had decided he had
(24:15):
to go, And of course partof that was allowing him to stay on
for the next six months as president. And you can bet that Air Force
One will be getting a really heavyworkout as the all the extended family members
go on dream holidays. You know, maybe they'll go for another ancestral tour
to Ireland. And also, ofcourse, first and foremost will be pardoned
(24:40):
for Hunter Biden over the already hisfelony gun conviction and whatever transpires with this
upcoming tax trial felny trial in Californiain September, and potentially also Joe Biden's
brother Jim Biden, who has legalissues of his own. Branda Divine New
York Post, joining us here shoolingwith you on six point thirty k.
(25:00):
How we'll talk about the mechanics ofhow the Democrats did this in pivoting from
Biden to Harris in a moment.But I don't focus, Miranda, on
how the Democratic Party, the machinelet it get to this point in the
first place. Historically, the onlypresident we have, if you want to
call it modern history in America,is Truman fifty two LBJ sixty eight.
(25:22):
They both dropped out of their respectivereelection bids late March. This is like
four months later that Joe Biden doesit. Why did the Democratic Party wait
so long and put themselves in thisbind? Well, I think it's because
they had come to the conclusion thatthe staff and the media was happy to
(25:47):
cover for Joe Biden, and youknow, presumably they thought that they could
continue to cover for him through anotherelection. But something changed. And whether
or not it was Joe Biden's behaviorwhen he was overseas at the G seven,
his strange wandering and neandering around,and you know the fact that foreign
(26:10):
dignitaries were all talking about him bythe time he came back and appeared at
that fundraiser in Hollywood, and whenBarack Obama very ostentatiously and solicitously put his
arm around him, so tapped himon the risk because Biden was standing there
like a stun mullet, just seeminglyfrozen in place. And then Obama,
(26:33):
instead of being subtle about it,he made a real display as he walked
Joe Biden across the stage, pattinghim on the back all the way,
letting everyone see that he was treatingthe sitting president of the United States like
a child, like a helpless infant, and that I think was assigned to
everybody. And we heard later fromGeorge Clooney, who was the MC for
(26:56):
the evening, that he was shockedat how out of it Joe Biden.
So I think a decision was sortof made then, and perhaps they set
him up to fail that there issome talk of that that they set him
up to fail at that debate.If he was as adult as he was
on stage before going into that debate, as he must have been, you
(27:18):
would think that the people around himwould have said, look, let's pull
out. He's got COVID, he'san Emergency's come up with some lie.
They lie all the time, butthey let him go out on the stage
with no props, no teleprompter,no notes, and just failed for ninety
minutes solid. And after that itwas impossible to keep him going. I
(27:40):
think they wanted to display to thedonors and the remaining supporters that it was
impossible to get him through an election. Branda Divine New York Post. I
got to go back to a termthat you used RAND to make sure I
got this right. Stunned mullet,like a fish to be an Australianism.
Stunned Mullets and I were cracking uphere. I had to turn the mic
off because it was so funny.But I want to talk about Kamala Harris
(28:07):
and this pivot by the Democratic Partyand this very unconvincing, insincere endorsement we
saw from Chuck Schumer and Akeem Jeffriestoday, I want to go back to
the Chuck Schumer sound here is that? So, now that the process is
played out from the grassroots bottom up, we are here today to throw our
support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.I'm clapping, you don't have to,
(28:33):
oh my goodness. But first question, are they really better off the Democratic
Party with Kamala Harris as their nomineethan the sitting President of the United States
Joe Biden, no matter how adledhe is. Well, you know,
she was so unpopular and so unlikablethat she didn't even make it into twenty
(28:55):
twenty with her aborted presidential bid.She really, I mean, she came
in soaring high, because on paper, she looks fantastic, you know,
black woman, she's young ish,fifty five, former prosecutor, you know,
former DA et cetera California. Sheseems like she ought to be good.
(29:17):
And then you take one look ather and her cackling and her vacuous
pronouncements. She honestly seems as ifshe's high all the time, and there
was a leak from I think itwas in Actios talking about she had to
appear at some dinner a while back, and she was so anxious about it
that they decided to have a kindof a rehearsal dinner and where her staff
(29:40):
members play acted the various dignitaries shewould have to meet to try and relax
her. So she is a veryhighly strong individual and just fake. You
know every single that you just mentionedwhen she stood up at his campaign headquarters
and paid tribute to Joe Biden andhe was on the line, and just
her voice was dripping with insincerity.I mean, she is trying to act
(30:04):
like she's emotional about things, butshe's not. She's just a very strange
fish, and people pick that up. There's a sort of a visceral reaction,
especially with women who are repulsed byinsincerity and fakeness in other women.
Maybe men don't pick it up asmuch because she's very coquetiians locacious, but
women see it straight away. Ithink she's very unpopular, and I guess
(30:29):
the only solution for them if theystick with her, is to do a
semi basement strategy with her. Justhave a lot of videos, and she's
attractive. You know. We justsaw Michael Steele, the former RNZ cham
and just tweeted out an image,an AI image of Kamela as a wonder
woman, you know. And they'repressing the use thing that she's younger,
(30:53):
you know, by fifteen years ormore than Donald Trump. So I think
they'll go with the woman, youknow, young fresh blood and get some
excitement going. No doubt that willhappen. Donald Trump's upholster has just issued
a memorandum to the campaign saying,expect a honeymoon bump in the polls for
(31:15):
Kamila Harris and you know, we'lljust ride it out and see what happens
at the end of it. Ithink she also got a honeymoon in her
first presidential bid. I think hernumbers got up to about fifteen percent,
and then when people saw what shewas really like, it just plummeted to
I think two percent, and shehad to get out. Yeah, both
in that race, and I believeit will happen. And this one.
(31:37):
She can't pivot to the middle.She can't run that way because she's not
of the middle. I don't thinkshe can even speak the issues to the
middle of America and their voters andthe independence and the persuadables. And to
your point, Miranda, I thinkthe more people see her, the more
people hear her, the less theylike her. And I believe it'll play
out as you describe. Follow heron exit, Miranda Devine, and of
course read her work at the NewYork Post. Always working seems twenty four
(32:00):
to seven. So Miranda, we'realways thankful for your time. Thanks for
it today, great Choki, Ryan, Thanks so much, Miranda Devine,
New York Post. Right there,we'll take a break, come back with
your text five seven, seven thirtynine here on six point thirty km.
And it's a specific phase of life. Remember, age is more than a
chronological fact. What else do weknow about this population eighteenth through twenty four?
(32:24):
They are stupid. That is whywe put them in dormitories, and
they have a resident assistant. Theymake really bad decisions. Wow, that's
a flashback from about ten years ago. May twenty fourteen, Kamala Harris,
(32:44):
now the presumptive Democratic nominee, sayingthat people eighteen to twenty four are stupid.
That's a really good way to pickup that vote. And I might
add the young vote. Gen Z'sGod Love You, They might save us.
After all, Trump is winning bigin the younger voter demographic, could
be more like eighteen to thirty fouragainst Kamala Harris head to head. She's
(33:06):
just not relatable and I think that'sgonna work against her. To the text,
we go the two minute warning fiveseven, seven, three nine,
start them Ryan always, If youwould please, Ryan, I've been out
of town all last week and missedlistening to you in your takes. What
a week to miss jeez. You'reright, But the good news is you
can download and subscribe to the podcastversion of this program on any major podcast
(33:29):
platform, So please do that,and if you would be so kind as
to give a five star rating,that would be appreciated as well. Another
person tuning in late, Ryan,I missed the first hour. Do you
still think Biden's going to stay aspresident for six months? Yes? And
I just had that conversation with MirandaDevine, who is as plugged in on
her reporting to the Biden family asanybody on the planet for The New York
(33:51):
Post, when she agreed with mytake that there was a deal made Joe
you Bo out of the race.Now we'll let you serve out your term.
Which is interesting because I think theonly way that Kamala Harris could have
won this election is if Biden wouldhave also resigned the office. She ascends
to the presidency and then has thatto run on, but she's not gonna
get that. She's just not goingto get that. Let me see here,
(34:15):
Kimberley, this is a good one. I think you have to inform
Kelly that when you say good nightGracie, she's supposed to repeat it.
Well, she's even more like Gracythat she doesn't know that. So I'm
kind of in a conundrum there.Do I tell her and then she's aware
of it, or though I haveher be more like Gracy Burns. It's
a real, real pickle, andshe's nicknamed Pickles by the way, because
she loves Clawson's Let me see here, Ryan, will you take over for
(34:38):
Leland and do drunk Kamala slow downher voice. She sounds like she's drunk
on red wine. Please please,please please please a lot of those.
A couple things there, she alreadysounds that way too. I respect the
integrity of the bit and it's Leland'sand his alone. If he gives me
a version of it that he's usedin San Diego on Cogo, I'll gladly
replay that for you. The deepthoughts with VP Harris, that's mine,
(35:00):
and so you hear more of those. There'll be hundreds coming your way,
Heidi Ganal coming your way next.Filling in for Dan Kaplis
