Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, good morning, Will in Auston. Here with one report.
It's time for another scorches shutdown from the left. Today's
headline Kamala Harris got memoed and ignored them big time.
We've got the insider documents, the strategy to refuse, and
exactly why ignoring them may have cost Democrats. Twenty twenty four,
(00:41):
townhall dot Com reports Matt Vesper got a hold of
four internal Harris campaign memoirs written in the final weeks,
specifically to wind over independence and soft Trump voters. They
told her, Kamala, your message is failing. Kamala, your message
(01:02):
is failing own where the Democrats messed up, show some leadership. Well, instead,
she doubled down on canned talking points. Today we unpacked
what those memos said and why Kamala Harris is brushing
brush them off. Was a political miscalculation. The memos, authored
(01:26):
by Maria Kamala, was sent to campaign and your general
Malley Dylan outline key pivots differentiate from Biden, says Harris
was blending right in no reason to vote for Harris.
There was no reason to vote for her if all
(01:48):
she was going to be is a continuation of Joe
Biden and you, and they'd already removed him because they
didn't think he could beat Trump. What made anybody else
think that Kamala Harris can be Trump? Okay? Voters want
independent thinking, Okay, that you have to acknowledge the missteps,
(02:13):
things like urban crime concerns, the electric vehicle mandate timeline,
the border isn't fixed, and admit failures. Camelo said, don't
waste time defending it. Acknowledge people feel this, Go on,
(02:39):
Joe Rogan, get real, offer substance on the border, the economy,
and energy, empathy, authenticity, but she never want on now
after watching Kamala Harris, since I don't know two thousand
(03:00):
fourteen or so, what you weren't going to give her
from her was empathy and authenticity because she's always been
a caricature, always been a caricature, trying to blend in,
trying to be that girl, trying to listen to TUPAC
before TUPAC had recordings out stuff like that, you know,
(03:25):
and memo goes on, do not highlight January sixth, don't
pick political theater, focus on solutions. You know that's the deal, folks.
These were exit strategy memos. They told her this is
(03:50):
how to flip Republicans and independence. Instead, Harry is stuck
with a dim script and the idea was you're sucking.
It's not happening, it's not working. But they held on
and she held on to what they were doing. Folks,
these these memos weren't some random notes. They were hard hit,
(04:16):
confidential memos from campaign pros illustrating what swing voters are
thinking in all the swing states that that Trump won.
These people had gone out and asked, They had done
their research. They knew what these people were thinking. The
Democrat the Democrats needed a reset and needed a reset badly. Instead,
(04:38):
Harris decided to stay or was told to stay in
Biden's shadow. She failed to carve her own narratives, which
I don't think she had, but that's just me. There
was no authenticity, of course, not on Rogan just instead
stayed in the scripted, media friendly environments. You see no Rogan,
(05:02):
no going out there and cutting a path answering some questions. Now,
go on CNN, go on in MSNBC, do that kind
of thing. Stay in the main road, in the main
Democrat road, where it's safe. Go on sixty minutes where
they're going to put up bumpers so you don't end
up in the gutter. Right, They're going to edit in
(05:26):
a way that makes you not look dumb. Ignore some
key voter concerns like borders, crime, border crime, the speed
of electric vehicle mandates, Ignore the economy right now, continue
to say it's fine, oh yeah, And we're going to
(05:47):
continue to bring up January sixth like it was somehow
Pearl Harbor misplaced theatrics. I just wanted substance, not sound by.
So you saw what happened. The campaign stumbled to the
finish line. Somehow Independence remained unimpressed. There was no clear
(06:08):
path forward. The Democrat base was already on board to
vote Democrat no matter what. Harris stuck to the status
quo playbook. Young voter rallies focused on January sixth, friendly interviews, Biden,
no differentiation. That's how backlash on the of course, on
(06:36):
the border, the economy, crime, that's what notes this. Any
vice president worth a damn could have made it work.
Thank god it didn't. These four memos showed that she
didn't have that damn worth. Okay, the biggest laugh out loud,
(07:01):
go get on, Joe Rogan. That's right. One memo explicitly said,
get on Rogan and talk straight about prices, border emmy economy,
show empathy, gasoline, oil and gas mergers, et cetera, acknowledge failures.
Memos outline precise bullet points, told her exactly what to do.
(07:28):
Admit that by the administration was too slow. Imagine come on,
but imagine Harris on Rogan. She'd be eating alive. She
can't speak off teleprompter or hasn't shown the ability to
speak off teleprompter. She'd be roasted. But voters love authenticity.
(07:57):
She didn't even try. He didn't even try. Yes, she
would have gotten skeered. So maybe it was a smart move,
a skip rogue and sure, but that's why she needed
to do it. Swing voters want real talk. They're not
(08:17):
the same recycle sound bites. The memos said, own it,
talk about mistakes, show growth. Voters respect honesty. Instead, she
doubled down on alleged strengths, repeated apologie as from Janguary sixth,
reinforced liberal talking points. Result, the campaign came across as defensive,
(08:42):
out of touch, no real personal narrative beyond no Trump,
and the public circled back to Trump on border and
the economy. So what should you do going forward on
the message, A clear, differentiated voice, not Biden Jr. Admit
(09:03):
mistakes like I said before the border and the ev rollout,
do it then pivot to solutions. Get real, do podcast interviews,
offscript stuff where voters can see the person, focus on action.
Don't do soundnced age politics, show real policy wins, not speeches. Frankly,
(09:27):
I think that any other vice president ditual candidate could
have executed that pivot, but Harris and she ignored it.
And there's a rub that signals a lack of leadership, material,
moral listening. It's all critical. And when you ignore the
experts on your own team, take you from your own campaign,
(09:51):
they lose faith. The voters lose faith. It's about one
four memos of advice errors. Ignored them. The campaign lost
traction because it was it was bleeding money. Given money
to Oprah, given money to Beyonce, giving money to making
the stallion, to tourk all that stuff. It just got great,
(10:13):
It just got crazy. Right, So if this woman is
expecting any kind of comeback in twenty twenty six, you
better stop playing safe, start playing smart. I don't think
he was able to, but let me know what you
think coming below. Hit the like button, share with your network,
