Is Kamala Harris's vice presidency the result of a DEI initiative or a testament to her multifaceted heritage and political acumen? Join us as we unravel the complexities of her identity, from her Indian roots to her African-American identity, and explore how these elements have shaped public perception and political commentary. We'll take a closer look at the profound influence of her mother and maternal grandfather, shedding light on the deep personal connections that define her. This episode challenges the simplistic narratives around Harris, providing a nuanced view of her background and the broader implications for mixed heritage individuals in politics.
Next, we dissect Kamala Harris's political journey and the polarized opinions she elicits. Is she a far-left liberal pushing a socialist agenda, or is that a mischaracterization? We scrutinize her prosecutorial record, particularly its impact on African-American communities, and address her unpopularity among certain voter groups. Highlighting a notable rally where attendees left after a brief concert, we discuss public disinterest and question the Democratic Party's strategy. We'll also anticipate a potential debate with Trump, analyzing the high stakes and what it could mean for Harris's future. By the end of this episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of Kamala Harris's political landscape and the diverse opinions surrounding her.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Some of your own supporters, including
Republicans on Capitol Hill,have labeled Vice President
Kamala Harris, who is the firstblack and Asian-American woman
to serve as vice president, beon a major party ticket as a DEI
hire.
Is that acceptable language toyou and will you tell those
Republicans and those supportersto stop it?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
How do you define?
Dei Go ahead.
How do you define?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
it Diversity equity inclusion.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Okay, yeah, go ahead.
Is that what your definition?
That is literally the wordsGive me a definition, then Would
you give me a definition?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
of that.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Give me a definition of that, Sir.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm asking you a question, a very direct question
.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Define it for me if you will.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I just defined it, sir.
Do you believe that VicePresident Kamala Harris is only
on the ticket because she is ablack woman?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Well, I can say no, I think it's maybe a little bit
different.
So I've known her a long time,indirectly, not directly very
much, and she was always ofIndian heritage and she was only
promoting Indian heritage.
I didn't know she was blackuntil a number of years ago when
she happened to turn black andnow she wants to be known as
(01:28):
black.
So I don't know.
Is she Indian or is she black?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
She is always identified as a black.
I respect either one.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't,
because she was Indian all theway.
And then all of a sudden shemade a turn and she went.
She became a black person.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Just to be clear, sir .
Do you believe that she is a I?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
think somebody should look into that too.
When you ask a, continue in avery hostile, nasty tone.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's a direct question, sir Do you believe
that Vice President KamalaHarris is a DEI hire?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
as some Republicans have said.
I mean I really don't know,could be, could be.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
There are Indian.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yes, yes, okay, and I don't know that, everybody
knows that.
But I find that wherever I goand I see Indian people at the
supermarket, on the street,everyone's like.
You know, kamala Harris isIndian.
Right, it's like our thingwe're so excited about to have
you running for president.
Yeah, so we're both Indian.
Yes, but actually we're bothSouth Indian.
Yes, but actually we're bothSouth Indian.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yes, you look like the entire one half of my family
.
Okay, thank you, you do.
I've been telling people we'rerelated already, so this is
perfect.
It's basically true.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And so were you raised eating South Indian food.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
My mother, who raised me and my sister, was a proud
woman.
She was a brown woman, she wasa woman with a heavy accent.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And her mother.
Shyamala Gopalan was also thebiggest influence in Kamala
Harris's life.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
The answer is absolutely yes, Jo.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
After the big announcement, harris's sister
wrote in a Twitter post youcan't know who Kamala Harris is
without knowing who our motherwas.
In 1958, a precocious19-year-old Indian, gopalan,
traveled thousands of miles fromher home and family to pursue a
doctorate in nutrition andendocrinology in America.
(03:15):
She soon became an active civilrights crusader while studying
at UC Berkeley Once she wentthere she almost felt free and
she took part in politics.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
She took in.
She used to bring a wholeseries of literature, leftist
literature, from Karl Popper's.
You know he was a greatphilosopher.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
In her book, Harris says there is no title or honor
on earth I'll treasure more thanto say I am Shyamala Gopalan,
Harris's daughter.
Harris's visits to India withher mother kept her connected to
her roots.
Her grandfather, who had strongviews on humanitarian issues,
worked closely with officials toreallocate refugees.
(03:55):
Their conversations had astrong influence on her.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Those walks along the beach in India really planted
something in my mind and createda commitment in me.
Before I even realized it.
It has led me to where I amtoday.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Harris's maternal uncle, gopalan Balachandran, who
lives in Delhi, tells us howthe senator turns to her amma
which means mother in Tamil forguidance, even after her death.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
I don't have to tell her make your mother proud.
She says what are you tellingme?
Everything that I do.
I ask myself would Amma approveof this?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Kamla in Hindi means lotus flower and is an important
symbol in Indian culture,rooted deep in the bottom of the
river, very similar to Harris'sIndian identity, which she
wears on her sleeve.
There's no doubt that theprimary source of learning for
Senator Harris was from hermother's experiences and the
(04:55):
conversations that she had withher maternal grandfather when
she visited India, which wasvery often accompanying her
mother, or when the grandparentswould visit them in America.
Back to you, rosemary, and youall helped us win in 2020, and
we're going to do it again in2024.
Yes, we will.
Yes, we will.
(05:15):
So let's get right.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
That, my friends, is what we call the chameleon
Kamala Harris.
First she's black, then she'sIndian, then she's indian black,
then she's chinese, then she,all of a sudden, is from the
deep south.
She, she, she is channeling herinner, her inner, gone with the
wind, as always.
(05:41):
This is dennis.
Get off my lawn.
The mad r Ramleys of a Gen Xer.
Oh, I want to talk about thechameleon Kamala Harris.
We don't know what the hell sheis.
And Trump today was at an event.
It was for the African-Americanjournalists.
He went to this event in themiddle of Chicago, very hostile
(06:01):
environment, very hostile area.
Kamala Harris was invited.
She declined because she had asorority to go to speak at,
another sorority to speak at.
She's big on the sorority vote.
And one of the moderators askedhim as you saw in the clip, that
is Kamala Harris, a DEIcandidate.
And I actually thought it wasvery interesting when he kind of
(06:23):
went back at the moderator, theco-moderator, and said define
DEI.
And of course she was likediversity, equity and inclusion,
and I knew what he was gettingat.
He was saying, okay, yes, it'sdiversity, equity and inclusion,
but define that.
Every word has a definition.
You go to Webster's, go look upthe word house.
(06:45):
Go look up the word chameleon.
Each word has a definition.
You can't define a word bysaying this is the word it is.
I'm going to define diversity,equity and inclusion by saying,
well, it's diversity, equity andinclusion, okay, define it for
me.
And when she kind of got alittle snippy about it, you know
Trump, who some people thoughthe was going to get himself in
trouble with this, I actuallythink was a brilliant.
(07:06):
I think I think it was abrilliant stroke of genius here
he said you know, listen, shewasn't black, or she didn't
identify as black until recently, until she started running.
Now, previously, she was Indianand everyone gasped.
Well, the crowd didn't gasp.
(07:26):
A lot of the crowd laughed, buteveryone on social media and
all liberals gasped oh, howcould he say something like that
?
Well, that's why I pulled upall those clips that was only
about three and a half minutesof clips of Kamala Harris
embracing her Indian heritage tothe point that she was using
that as a key factor when shewas running back in 2020.
(07:50):
That was a key factor for her.
That was a key factor for hercampaign.
She was Asian, she was Indian,first one.
And then you saw the articlewhere she is the first Indian
senator.
And then you saw the articlewhere she is the first Indian
senator.
Then we saw the other articlegoing back to her days as that
(08:13):
tough-as-nails prosecutor overin San Francisco who she went
into the tunnels with the police, caught these guys and
prosecuted them.
We just forget about the illegalimmigrant she let go who
murdered somebody.
We're not going to talk aboutthat.
No, no, no, don't talk aboutthat.
Look at this hand, see whatthis hand's doing.
But she can never figure out.
You can never figure out whatexactly Kamala Harris is.
And I'm not just talking abouther ethnicity, because I don't
(08:37):
think that defines a person.
Some people think that definesthemselves.
I don't think your ethnicitydefines a person.
I think the person that you aredefines who you are and your
actions define what you do, butyou can never nail her down on
anything.
She has this long track recordof saying things and being so
liberal that she makes BernieSanders at times look like he's
(09:00):
Ronald Reagan.
Right, she going back to theprevious election.
I'm against fracking.
We have to stop fracking Now.
No, no, no, I've changed myopinion.
Frack away, okay.
We have multitudes of videosand soundbites of her saying
about gun control, about whatshe's going to do within the
(09:23):
first 100 days, that if Congressdoesn't act, she is going to
act with executive orders andconfiscate guns and do this.
We have tons of film and audioand video on this.
No, no, no, I never said that wehad this, where she talked
about Medicare for all.
We need to get away fromprivate insurance.
(09:45):
Getting away from privateinsurance has killed the
industry, has made prices go upso astronomically.
It's not even funny.
I always talk about the factthat when Obamacare kicked in
full force, my insurance went upfor my family $1,800 a year and
then the next year it went up$3,600.
And then the next year it wentup $3,600, and then next year it
(10:07):
went up an additional $3,600,and then it went up an
additional $1,800.
And every year for four yearswe got a letter saying well,
it's because of the affordablecare act.
Well, so you're making myinsurance unaffordable because I
have a fucking job and otherpeople who don't have jobs,
don't have incomes, are going toget better rates and sometimes
(10:30):
better coverage than I'm goingto get, and I'm working paying
into the system.
But that's neither here northere.
So her whole thing was a coupleyears back.
We're going to abolishprivatized medicine, medicare
for all?
No, no, no.
Now it's no, no, no, no, no, no.
Never said that, I said it andI meant it at the time, but I
(10:51):
don't really mean it now it'slike the border.
I was never she's the borderczar.
I was never the border czar.
What are you?
What are you fucking crazy?
And now it's.
Now.
I'm gonna be tough on theborder.
Before she wanted amnesty forall legal immigrants, a clear
path to citizenship for illegalimmigrants.
To the fact that Pocahontas,elizabeth Warren, is saying the
(11:14):
same thing we're going to have aclear citizenship path or
citizenship to all these peoplethat are in here illegally.
When you let 10 to 15 millionpeople come in here illegally
and then all of a sudden, you'regoing to turn and say, yeah,
you know what?
Let's just give them a path tocitizenship.
They can't all be bad, eventhough they they.
They arrested some terroristsjust recently and you have
(11:38):
people, especially on the border, saying we basically probably
could have let terrorists in andwe don't even know it because
we're not, we're not, we're notvetting, we're not vetting
anyone, but that's all right.
Kamala harris is jello,especially now.
You can't nail her down oranything.
You could have all this audio.
You could have all this videoon everything that she has said,
(12:00):
the policies that she has triedto enact, enacted the things
that she wanted to do to thiscountry that were so far to the
left now that she's running topresident, it's scary.
And now she wanted to do tothis country that were so far to
the left now that she's runningto president, it's scary.
And now she has to denyeverything that we heard her say
, basically by saying no, I, Iwas like I always love what
littles.
I didn't say that you took thatout of context.
(12:21):
What the fuck were you thinkingthat was out of context?
That's not what I meant.
Say what I mean, not what I notmean what I say.
It's just, it's just a bad.
I mean and I'm sorry therethere are too many stupid people
that are gen z that fall forthis, that really fall for this
(12:44):
garbage, because then they'll belike well, you know what?
Know what?
She's not that bad.
Look at all these things shedoes and doesn't want to do.
A leopard can't change its spots, except for Kamala Harris.
She can.
She can change her spots, it'sokay.
But a leopard truly cannotchange its spots.
She is what she is.
(13:04):
She is a far-left liberal thatwants to do what they refer to
either as socialism or communismin the united states of america
and shape it in the guise ofequity.
It's always about equity.
Every no, kamala harrison evensays not everyone starts off at
the same spot, but we all shouldbe in the same place.
(13:26):
Now I I okay, I'm a littleconfused by that one.
That one confused me too,because you know what life isn't
fair.
I should be a millionaire.
Why?
Why were my parentsmillionaires?
Why do they have to work?
Why do both parents have towork?
Why did I have to get studentloans?
(13:47):
Why did I have to sit there foryears and work two jobs to pay
back my student loans when Icould have just waited?
But we have a candidate andkamala harris that has such a
unlikeability about her.
She really does.
I see her in a cringe and I lovewhen they go to Trump.
Well, you're old, she's goingto be 60.
(14:08):
It's not like she's 40 yearsold or 37 years old, she's going
to be 60.
And I always, I always love thetough talk with her.
I'm gonna get tough on theborder, not like trump was
really, because trump, over infour years, I believe, had two
million illegal border crossings.
(14:30):
You have anywhere between sixto ten, and it's not even been a
full four years yet.
Everything that you want to sayyou've done as a prosecutor,
yeah, that's great.
You prosecuted so manyAfrican-Americans and sent them
to jail for petty crimes.
That should be a crime, butthat never happened, because
she's just tough on crime and Ilove it.
(14:53):
Because they had the what's hername Something?
Stallion, the hip-hop artist,go out to Atlanta and do and and
do a song and do a, you know,for her rally and they had like
10,000 people at the rally.
But this is something theydon't tell you, cause I know
people that went to this rally,which I think is funny as shit.
So the stallion performed andafter she performed and Kamala
(15:16):
was talking, people just startedleaving because they thought it
was a concert.
It was pitched to them as aconcert and then, once they
found out it wasn't a concertand she only put on one song,
people started going.
People started leaving like, no,we don't want to.
We don't want to listen to thewhack job, we want to look, we
want to listen to the slut.
What the hell, man we've.
(15:38):
We've come to a dangerous point, we come to a precipice, and
really, what it is is the factthat there's a certain segment
of this population that onlyrelies on how you look if you're
a man, if you're a woman,what's your race, what's your
ethnicity, and that's how theyjudge everything and that's how
they judge fairness.
(15:58):
So we need to have a woman ofcolor as president.
We don't need it, we don't.
We need that, we don't.
She doesn't have to bequalified, she doesn't actually
have to win the vote.
Democrats and the liberals are.
We are the party of law, we arethe party of of.
You must do think we are hereto protect democracy.
(16:21):
We're, but we are going to justkind of push Kamala through and
not tell anybody.
We're not going to say anything.
Those 11 million people thatvoted for Biden, we're not going
to do anything.
Your fucking vote doesn't count.
It's the backroom deals withthe liberals that that vote
counts more.
Their dollars count more thanyour vote.
But they are the party ofdemocracy and protecting
(16:44):
democracy.
Go figure that one out.
This campaign is going to get sointeresting because at one
point in time, kamala, I cannotwait for the debate.
I think Trump can't wait forthe debate either.
And Trump is smart, hiscampaign.
I love it, because Kamala islike he's dodging me.
No, he's just waiting for youto actually be the candidate.
You are the presumptivecandidate.
(17:06):
You have not been officiallyannounced as the candidate for
the Democratic Party.
You are the presumptivecandidate, so sooner or later
there's going to have to be adebate.
Sooner or later she's going tohave to do a sit down interview
and actually talk about all thethings.
I mean literally.
She has changed her entirephilosophy and her entire
mindset on all these policies tothe polar opposite.
(17:28):
She's like I said, she's thehuman chameleon and it doesn't
matter if she's black, itdoesn't matter if she's white,
it doesn't matter if she'sIndian, it doesn't matter if
she's black, it doesn't matterif she's white, it doesn't
matter if she's Indian, itdoesn't matter if she's a woman.
She is just not qualified tomake these decisions for the
country because she is so farleft and the fact that she can't
(17:51):
even make a definitivestatement of what she is.
If she's black, if she's Indian, she doesn't know which
heritage to use, but she uses itwhen it's to her advantage.
She is good if she goes andspeaks to a rally full.
You know that's got.
That's for the indian asianpopulation.
(18:11):
She's indian, she goes to.
She goes to atlanta.
She's black, she's southernblack.
And Trump was right.
You could hate what he said andhow he said it, but he was 100%
fucking right.
He nailed it.
She was Indian.
For all these years sheportrayed herself as an Indian,
(18:33):
but now she needs to turn overthe black card.
You know, like they say, youhave the white.
You know you, you have your,your white card.
Here's my white card.
I don't have one.
They never gave me one.
They never gave me a whiteprivilege card.
I don't know why.
I've always been trying to getone but I never could get one.
But now she's turning her blackprivilege card after.
(18:54):
She's going to put her indianprivilege card back in her
wallet because she's the mostdiverse candidate.
She's, her diversity is therewhen she needs to be.
This is a woman.
That's an opportunist.
Ask willie brown.
Willie brown, remember will herlover, her way older lover,
gave her a car, took her onlavish trips, increased her,
(19:18):
basically put her in a positionto enroll that she shouldn't
have been in and gave her raisesfor it.
Because, you know, she gave hima raise.
That's what she said.
Oh hey, oh sorry, hey, oh sorryabout that.
Um, but she's an opportunist.
Kamala harris is an opportunistand you have to worry about
people falling for that, fallingfor the fact that she is gonna
(19:39):
just tell you what you want tohear and then, at the end of the
day, she's just going to dowhat she does because, like I
said, leopard does not changeits spots.
It doesn't.
And you, you can.
You can hate that.
You mean, like I said, youcould hate people for telling
you the truth, but trump was 100right, he spoke the truth.
And now more and more of these.
This is the problem with kamalaharris.
(20:01):
This is why she's such a flawedcandidate.
Everything she says, there'slike 20 hours of video of her
saying the exact opposite.
So she's going to have to defendher own record of their own
words, of what she said, plusthe fact that she saddled with
the policies of the crazy JoeBiden policies, this whole
Supreme court thing.
She should never haveco-sponsored the the bill.
(20:21):
She should have got out fromunderneath that kind of like she
did willie brown, but sheshould just get out from
underneath that, because it'ssuch a wacky thing to bring up
right now because they don'thave anything else to run on
it's abortion.
It's it's abortion anddemocracy.
That was last year, that wasbefore, that was the last year
mid-year elections it's abortionand democracy.
Now it's now.
(20:42):
It's abortion in the SupremeCourt.
It's great, because if youcan't afford an abortion because
it's too expensive because ofinflation, energy prices,
everything else, what does itmatter?
We've just reached it's a we'vejust reached a scary moment in
time.
We really have and we have acandidate now that's more
(21:08):
dangerous than Joe Biden,because she is going, like any
other politician she is going tolie and she is going to lie
repeatedly.
She's going to put on thesefalse faces repeatedly.
She's going to put on thesefalse faces.
(21:28):
She is going to pander towhoever she's in front of Trump,
love him or hate him.
He tells you what he is, butshe is going to pander to these
people and you're going to havea segment of the population
that's going to fall for it andsay, oh, I have to vote for her
because I'm black and I'm awoman.
No, you need to vote for thebest candidate.
Use your brain.
If you think Kamala Harris isthe best candidate, tell me why.
(21:49):
Tell me what she has done toenhance your way of life through
government.
I always put that question areyou better off now than you were
four years ago?
No, people tell you no, I'm not.
We now have a health crisis inreference to mental health, in
(22:13):
regards to people now beingpeople.
Now there's a large segment ofthe population that is in such
credit card debt because theypaid or used their credit card
to pay groceries, to eat, tofeed their family.
Now those bills are coming dueand they don't have the money to
pay that and they don't havethe money to pay their family.
But don't worry, we're going tohear about how Kamala Harris
(22:35):
used to wash collard greens inthe sink no, in the bathtub,
sorry, in the bathtub, becauseeven though she's on with Mindy
McCone whoever that woman's nameis talking about how all she
ate was Southern Indian food.
Can you just figure it out forme?
(22:56):
Can you just be honest about it?
Can you just understand that?
Why don't, just as as as acandidate, tell us what you're
really about, not what you wantus to think you are about, so
you can get elected, then dowhatever the hell you want, and
then it's like the joe bidenthing with the student loans.
He dangled that student loancarrot, knowing damn well that
(23:18):
it was against the law.
But you then had the.
You would then had the gen yand the gen z fall for it.
And then, when it doesn'thappen, they're like well, I got
bamboozled.
Well, welcome to the real world, kitties.
This is what politicians do,and you have one right now.
That will lie cheat steal.
She's already slept with peopleto get it career.
(23:39):
It's well documented.
She was the mistress.
Willie Brown's even wrote aboutit in a book.
She was the mistress.
But that's what she is going todo just to get your vote and
then do the exact opposite whenshe gets in and she doesn't care
how she does it she will be thediversity, equity and inclusion
candidate.
Oh, you know what this electionseason is going to be?
(24:05):
A good time Again.
Don't forget to like.
Don't forget to put thenotification thing, don't forget
to ring the bell, don't forgetto do all that crap and always
remember this is the truth.
Show always sets you free.
This is Tim.
This is Scott.
I'm out of here and I'm out ofhere.
Some of your own supporters, including
Republicans on Capitol Hill,have labeled Vice President
Kamala Harris, who is the firstblack and Asian-American woman
to serve as vice president, beon a major party ticket as a DEI
hire.
Is that acceptable language toyou and will you tell those
Republicans and those supportersto stop it?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
How do you define?
Dei Go ahead.
How do you define?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
it Diversity equity inclusion.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Okay, yeah, go ahead.
Is that what your definition?
That is literally the wordsGive me a definition, then Would
you give me a definition?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
of that.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Give me a definition of that, Sir.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm asking you a question, a very direct question
.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Define it for me if you will.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I just defined it, sir.
Do you believe that VicePresident Kamala Harris is only
on the ticket because she is ablack woman?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Well, I can say no, I think it's maybe a little bit
different.
So I've known her a long time,indirectly, not directly very
much, and she was always ofIndian heritage and she was only
promoting Indian heritage.
I didn't know she was blackuntil a number of years ago when
she happened to turn black andnow she wants to be known as
(01:28):
black.
So I don't know.
Is she Indian or is she black?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
She is always identified as a black.
I respect either one.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't,
because she was Indian all theway.
And then all of a sudden shemade a turn and she went.
She became a black person.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Just to be clear, sir .
Do you believe that she is a I?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
think somebody should look into that too.
When you ask a, continue in avery hostile, nasty tone.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's a direct question, sir Do you believe
that Vice President KamalaHarris is a DEI hire?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
as some Republicans have said.
I mean I really don't know,could be, could be.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
There are Indian.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yes, yes, okay, and I don't know that, everybody
knows that.
But I find that wherever I goand I see Indian people at the
supermarket, on the street,everyone's like.
You know, kamala Harris isIndian.
Right, it's like our thingwe're so excited about to have
you running for president.
Yeah, so we're both Indian.
Yes, but actually we're bothSouth Indian.
Yes, but actually we're bothSouth Indian.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yes, you look like the entire one half of my family
.
Okay, thank you, you do.
I've been telling people we'rerelated already, so this is
perfect.
It's basically true.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And so were you raised eating South Indian food.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
My mother, who raised me and my sister, was a proud
woman.
She was a brown woman, she wasa woman with a heavy accent.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And her mother.
Shyamala Gopalan was also thebiggest influence in Kamala
Harris's life.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
The answer is absolutely yes, Jo.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
After the big announcement, harris's sister
wrote in a Twitter post youcan't know who Kamala Harris is
without knowing who our motherwas.
In 1958, a precocious19-year-old Indian, gopalan,
traveled thousands of miles fromher home and family to pursue a
doctorate in nutrition andendocrinology in America.
(03:15):
She soon became an active civilrights crusader while studying
at UC Berkeley Once she wentthere she almost felt free and
she took part in politics.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
She took in.
She used to bring a wholeseries of literature, leftist
literature, from Karl Popper's.
You know he was a greatphilosopher.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
In her book, Harris says there is no title or honor
on earth I'll treasure more thanto say I am Shyamala Gopalan,
Harris's daughter.
Harris's visits to India withher mother kept her connected to
her roots.
Her grandfather, who had strongviews on humanitarian issues,
worked closely with officials toreallocate refugees.
(03:55):
Their conversations had astrong influence on her.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Those walks along the beach in India really planted
something in my mind and createda commitment in me.
Before I even realized it.
It has led me to where I amtoday.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Harris's maternal uncle, gopalan Balachandran, who
lives in Delhi, tells us howthe senator turns to her amma
which means mother in Tamil forguidance, even after her death.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
I don't have to tell her make your mother proud.
She says what are you tellingme?
Everything that I do.
I ask myself would Amma approveof this?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Kamla in Hindi means lotus flower and is an important
symbol in Indian culture,rooted deep in the bottom of the
river, very similar to Harris'sIndian identity, which she
wears on her sleeve.
There's no doubt that theprimary source of learning for
Senator Harris was from hermother's experiences and the
(04:55):
conversations that she had withher maternal grandfather when
she visited India, which wasvery often accompanying her
mother, or when the grandparentswould visit them in America.
Back to you, rosemary, and youall helped us win in 2020, and
we're going to do it again in2024.
Yes, we will.
Yes, we will.
(05:15):
So let's get right.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
That, my friends, is what we call the chameleon
Kamala Harris.
First she's black, then she'sIndian, then she's indian black,
then she's chinese, then she,all of a sudden, is from the
deep south.
She, she, she is channeling herinner, her inner, gone with the
wind, as always.
(05:41):
This is dennis.
Get off my lawn.
The mad r Ramleys of a Gen Xer.
Oh, I want to talk about thechameleon Kamala Harris.
We don't know what the hell sheis.
And Trump today was at an event.
It was for the African-Americanjournalists.
He went to this event in themiddle of Chicago, very hostile
(06:01):
environment, very hostile area.
Kamala Harris was invited.
She declined because she had asorority to go to speak at,
another sorority to speak at.
She's big on the sorority vote.
And one of the moderators askedhim as you saw in the clip, that
is Kamala Harris, a DEIcandidate.
And I actually thought it wasvery interesting when he kind of
(06:23):
went back at the moderator, theco-moderator, and said define
DEI.
And of course she was likediversity, equity and inclusion,
and I knew what he was gettingat.
He was saying, okay, yes, it'sdiversity, equity and inclusion,
but define that.
Every word has a definition.
You go to Webster's, go look upthe word house.
(06:45):
Go look up the word chameleon.
Each word has a definition.
You can't define a word bysaying this is the word it is.
I'm going to define diversity,equity and inclusion by saying,
well, it's diversity, equity andinclusion, okay, define it for
me.
And when she kind of got alittle snippy about it, you know
Trump, who some people thoughthe was going to get himself in
trouble with this, I actuallythink was a brilliant.
(07:06):
I think I think it was abrilliant stroke of genius here
he said you know, listen, shewasn't black, or she didn't
identify as black until recently, until she started running.
Now, previously, she was Indianand everyone gasped.
Well, the crowd didn't gasp.
(07:26):
A lot of the crowd laughed, buteveryone on social media and
all liberals gasped oh, howcould he say something like that
?
Well, that's why I pulled upall those clips that was only
about three and a half minutesof clips of Kamala Harris
embracing her Indian heritage tothe point that she was using
that as a key factor when shewas running back in 2020.
(07:50):
That was a key factor for her.
That was a key factor for hercampaign.
She was Asian, she was Indian,first one.
And then you saw the articlewhere she is the first Indian
senator.
And then you saw the articlewhere she is the first Indian
senator.
Then we saw the other articlegoing back to her days as that
(08:13):
tough-as-nails prosecutor overin San Francisco who she went
into the tunnels with the police, caught these guys and
prosecuted them.
We just forget about the illegalimmigrant she let go who
murdered somebody.
We're not going to talk aboutthat.
No, no, no, don't talk aboutthat.
Look at this hand, see whatthis hand's doing.
But she can never figure out.
You can never figure out whatexactly Kamala Harris is.
And I'm not just talking abouther ethnicity, because I don't
(08:37):
think that defines a person.
Some people think that definesthemselves.
I don't think your ethnicitydefines a person.
I think the person that you aredefines who you are and your
actions define what you do, butyou can never nail her down on
anything.
She has this long track recordof saying things and being so
liberal that she makes BernieSanders at times look like he's
(09:00):
Ronald Reagan.
Right, she going back to theprevious election.
I'm against fracking.
We have to stop fracking Now.
No, no, no, I've changed myopinion.
Frack away, okay.
We have multitudes of videosand soundbites of her saying
about gun control, about whatshe's going to do within the
(09:23):
first 100 days, that if Congressdoesn't act, she is going to
act with executive orders andconfiscate guns and do this.
We have tons of film and audioand video on this.
No, no, no, I never said that wehad this, where she talked
about Medicare for all.
We need to get away fromprivate insurance.
(09:45):
Getting away from privateinsurance has killed the
industry, has made prices go upso astronomically.
It's not even funny.
I always talk about the factthat when Obamacare kicked in
full force, my insurance went upfor my family $1,800 a year and
then the next year it went up$3,600.
And then the next year it wentup $3,600, and then next year it
(10:07):
went up an additional $3,600,and then it went up an
additional $1,800.
And every year for four yearswe got a letter saying well,
it's because of the affordablecare act.
Well, so you're making myinsurance unaffordable because I
have a fucking job and otherpeople who don't have jobs,
don't have incomes, are going toget better rates and sometimes
(10:30):
better coverage than I'm goingto get, and I'm working paying
into the system.
But that's neither here northere.
So her whole thing was a coupleyears back.
We're going to abolishprivatized medicine, medicare
for all?
No, no, no.
Now it's no, no, no, no, no, no.
Never said that, I said it andI meant it at the time, but I
(10:51):
don't really mean it now it'slike the border.
I was never she's the borderczar.
I was never the border czar.
What are you?
What are you fucking crazy?
And now it's.
Now.
I'm gonna be tough on theborder.
Before she wanted amnesty forall legal immigrants, a clear
path to citizenship for illegalimmigrants.
To the fact that Pocahontas,elizabeth Warren, is saying the
(11:14):
same thing we're going to have aclear citizenship path or
citizenship to all these peoplethat are in here illegally.
When you let 10 to 15 millionpeople come in here illegally
and then all of a sudden, you'regoing to turn and say, yeah,
you know what?
Let's just give them a path tocitizenship.
They can't all be bad, eventhough they they.
They arrested some terroristsjust recently and you have
(11:38):
people, especially on the border, saying we basically probably
could have let terrorists in andwe don't even know it because
we're not, we're not, we're notvetting, we're not vetting
anyone, but that's all right.
Kamala harris is jello,especially now.
You can't nail her down oranything.
You could have all this audio.
You could have all this videoon everything that she has said,
(12:00):
the policies that she has triedto enact, enacted the things
that she wanted to do to thiscountry that were so far to the
left now that she's running topresident, it's scary.
And now she wanted to do tothis country that were so far to
the left now that she's runningto president, it's scary.
And now she has to denyeverything that we heard her say
, basically by saying no, I, Iwas like I always love what
littles.
I didn't say that you took thatout of context.
(12:21):
What the fuck were you thinkingthat was out of context?
That's not what I meant.
Say what I mean, not what I notmean what I say.
It's just, it's just a bad.
I mean and I'm sorry therethere are too many stupid people
that are gen z that fall forthis, that really fall for this
(12:44):
garbage, because then they'll belike well, you know what?
Know what?
She's not that bad.
Look at all these things shedoes and doesn't want to do.
A leopard can't change its spots, except for Kamala Harris.
She can.
She can change her spots, it'sokay.
But a leopard truly cannotchange its spots.
She is what she is.
(13:04):
She is a far-left liberal thatwants to do what they refer to
either as socialism or communismin the united states of america
and shape it in the guise ofequity.
It's always about equity.
Every no, kamala harrison evensays not everyone starts off at
the same spot, but we all shouldbe in the same place.
(13:26):
Now I I okay, I'm a littleconfused by that one.
That one confused me too,because you know what life isn't
fair.
I should be a millionaire.
Why?
Why were my parentsmillionaires?
Why do they have to work?
Why do both parents have towork?
Why did I have to get studentloans?
(13:47):
Why did I have to sit there foryears and work two jobs to pay
back my student loans when Icould have just waited?
But we have a candidate andkamala harris that has such a
unlikeability about her.
She really does.
I see her in a cringe and I lovewhen they go to Trump.
Well, you're old, she's goingto be 60.
(14:08):
It's not like she's 40 yearsold or 37 years old, she's going
to be 60.
And I always, I always love thetough talk with her.
I'm gonna get tough on theborder, not like trump was
really, because trump, over infour years, I believe, had two
million illegal border crossings.
(14:30):
You have anywhere between sixto ten, and it's not even been a
full four years yet.
Everything that you want to sayyou've done as a prosecutor,
yeah, that's great.
You prosecuted so manyAfrican-Americans and sent them
to jail for petty crimes.
That should be a crime, butthat never happened, because
she's just tough on crime and Ilove it.
(14:53):
Because they had the what's hername Something?
Stallion, the hip-hop artist,go out to Atlanta and do and and
do a song and do a, you know,for her rally and they had like
10,000 people at the rally.
But this is something theydon't tell you, cause I know
people that went to this rally,which I think is funny as shit.
So the stallion performed andafter she performed and Kamala
(15:16):
was talking, people just startedleaving because they thought it
was a concert.
It was pitched to them as aconcert and then, once they
found out it wasn't a concertand she only put on one song,
people started going.
People started leaving like, no,we don't want to.
We don't want to listen to thewhack job, we want to look, we
want to listen to the slut.
What the hell, man we've.
(15:38):
We've come to a dangerous point, we come to a precipice, and
really, what it is is the factthat there's a certain segment
of this population that onlyrelies on how you look if you're
a man, if you're a woman,what's your race, what's your
ethnicity, and that's how theyjudge everything and that's how
they judge fairness.
(15:58):
So we need to have a woman ofcolor as president.
We don't need it, we don't.
We need that, we don't.
She doesn't have to bequalified, she doesn't actually
have to win the vote.
Democrats and the liberals are.
We are the party of law, we arethe party of of.
You must do think we are hereto protect democracy.
(16:21):
We're, but we are going to justkind of push Kamala through and
not tell anybody.
We're not going to say anything.
Those 11 million people thatvoted for Biden, we're not going
to do anything.
Your fucking vote doesn't count.
It's the backroom deals withthe liberals that that vote
counts more.
Their dollars count more thanyour vote.
But they are the party ofdemocracy and protecting
(16:44):
democracy.
Go figure that one out.
This campaign is going to get sointeresting because at one
point in time, kamala, I cannotwait for the debate.
I think Trump can't wait forthe debate either.
And Trump is smart, hiscampaign.
I love it, because Kamala islike he's dodging me.
No, he's just waiting for youto actually be the candidate.
You are the presumptivecandidate.
(17:06):
You have not been officiallyannounced as the candidate for
the Democratic Party.
You are the presumptivecandidate, so sooner or later
there's going to have to be adebate.
Sooner or later she's going tohave to do a sit down interview
and actually talk about all thethings.
I mean literally.
She has changed her entirephilosophy and her entire
mindset on all these policies tothe polar opposite.
(17:28):
She's like I said, she's thehuman chameleon and it doesn't
matter if she's black, itdoesn't matter if she's white,
it doesn't matter if she'sIndian, it doesn't matter if
she's black, it doesn't matterif she's white, it doesn't
matter if she's Indian, itdoesn't matter if she's a woman.
She is just not qualified tomake these decisions for the
country because she is so farleft and the fact that she can't
(17:51):
even make a definitivestatement of what she is.
If she's black, if she's Indian, she doesn't know which
heritage to use, but she uses itwhen it's to her advantage.
She is good if she goes andspeaks to a rally full.
You know that's got.
That's for the indian asianpopulation.
(18:11):
She's indian, she goes to.
She goes to atlanta.
She's black, she's southernblack.
And Trump was right.
You could hate what he said andhow he said it, but he was 100%
fucking right.
He nailed it.
She was Indian.
For all these years sheportrayed herself as an Indian,
(18:33):
but now she needs to turn overthe black card.
You know, like they say, youhave the white.
You know you, you have your,your white card.
Here's my white card.
I don't have one.
They never gave me one.
They never gave me a whiteprivilege card.
I don't know why.
I've always been trying to getone but I never could get one.
But now she's turning her blackprivilege card after.
(18:54):
She's going to put her indianprivilege card back in her
wallet because she's the mostdiverse candidate.
She's, her diversity is therewhen she needs to be.
This is a woman.
That's an opportunist.
Ask willie brown.
Willie brown, remember will herlover, her way older lover,
gave her a car, took her onlavish trips, increased her,
(19:18):
basically put her in a positionto enroll that she shouldn't
have been in and gave her raisesfor it.
Because, you know, she gave hima raise.
That's what she said.
Oh hey, oh sorry, hey, oh sorryabout that.
Um, but she's an opportunist.
Kamala harris is an opportunistand you have to worry about
people falling for that, fallingfor the fact that she is gonna
(19:39):
just tell you what you want tohear and then, at the end of the
day, she's just going to dowhat she does because, like I
said, leopard does not changeits spots.
It doesn't.
And you, you can.
You can hate that.
You mean, like I said, youcould hate people for telling
you the truth, but trump was 100right, he spoke the truth.
And now more and more of these.
This is the problem with kamalaharris.
(20:01):
This is why she's such a flawedcandidate.
Everything she says, there'slike 20 hours of video of her
saying the exact opposite.
So she's going to have to defendher own record of their own
words, of what she said, plusthe fact that she saddled with
the policies of the crazy JoeBiden policies, this whole
Supreme court thing.
She should never haveco-sponsored the the bill.
(20:21):
She should have got out fromunderneath that kind of like she
did willie brown, but sheshould just get out from
underneath that, because it'ssuch a wacky thing to bring up
right now because they don'thave anything else to run on
it's abortion.
It's it's abortion anddemocracy.
That was last year, that wasbefore, that was the last year
mid-year elections it's abortionand democracy.
Now it's now.
(20:42):
It's abortion in the SupremeCourt.
It's great, because if youcan't afford an abortion because
it's too expensive because ofinflation, energy prices,
everything else, what does itmatter?
We've just reached it's a we'vejust reached a scary moment in
time.
We really have and we have acandidate now that's more
(21:08):
dangerous than Joe Biden,because she is going, like any
other politician she is going tolie and she is going to lie
repeatedly.
She's going to put on thesefalse faces repeatedly.
She's going to put on thesefalse faces.
(21:28):
She is going to pander towhoever she's in front of Trump,
love him or hate him.
He tells you what he is, butshe is going to pander to these
people and you're going to havea segment of the population
that's going to fall for it andsay, oh, I have to vote for her
because I'm black and I'm awoman.
No, you need to vote for thebest candidate.
Use your brain.
If you think Kamala Harris isthe best candidate, tell me why.
(21:49):
Tell me what she has done toenhance your way of life through
government.
I always put that question areyou better off now than you were
four years ago?
No, people tell you no, I'm not.
We now have a health crisis inreference to mental health, in
(22:13):
regards to people now beingpeople.
Now there's a large segment ofthe population that is in such
credit card debt because theypaid or used their credit card
to pay groceries, to eat, tofeed their family.
Now those bills are coming dueand they don't have the money to
pay that and they don't havethe money to pay their family.
But don't worry, we're going tohear about how Kamala Harris
(22:35):
used to wash collard greens inthe sink no, in the bathtub,
sorry, in the bathtub, becauseeven though she's on with Mindy
McCone whoever that woman's nameis talking about how all she
ate was Southern Indian food.
Can you just figure it out forme?
(22:56):
Can you just be honest about it?
Can you just understand that?
Why don't, just as as as acandidate, tell us what you're
really about, not what you wantus to think you are about, so
you can get elected, then dowhatever the hell you want, and
then it's like the joe bidenthing with the student loans.
He dangled that student loancarrot, knowing damn well that
(23:18):
it was against the law.
But you then had the.
You would then had the gen yand the gen z fall for it.
And then, when it doesn'thappen, they're like well, I got
bamboozled.
Well, welcome to the real world, kitties.
This is what politicians do,and you have one right now.
That will lie cheat steal.
She's already slept with peopleto get it career.
(23:39):
It's well documented.
She was the mistress.
Willie Brown's even wrote aboutit in a book.
She was the mistress.
But that's what she is going todo just to get your vote and
then do the exact opposite whenshe gets in and she doesn't care
how she does it she will be thediversity, equity and inclusion
candidate.
Oh, you know what this electionseason is going to be?
(24:05):
A good time Again.
Don't forget to like.
Don't forget to put thenotification thing, don't forget
to ring the bell, don't forgetto do all that crap and always
remember this is the truth.
Show always sets you free.
This is Tim.
This is Scott.
I'm out of here and I'm out ofhere.
