Democratic leaders have issued a stern warning to the party. Stop, stop being mean to Vice President Kamala Harris, or else. Well, but the party doesn't seem to understand that she's hugely unpopular, Farron, and she could cost them the next election. Here's the problem, here's the visuals on it. You got a guy who's gonna be what, 82 or 83 by the time the next term would be over?
Yeah.
You got her making decisions. And if you just take a little, take a little walk down her history, it's pretty scary. Because first of all, when it came to the presidential election, the primaries, what she get get 1% of the vote in California? She was the attorney general for God's sakes and she had such a ridiculous history of screw ups that she got 1% of the California vote in the primaries. So now people are looking at this and saying, wait, she's one heartbeat away from the president. An 83 year old guy walking around eating ice cream cones, maybe doesn't even know where he is a lot of part, a lot of the time. But she's one heartbeat away from that. What's your take on this story?
Yeah. This is really bizarre. And it's important. Like, this came from CNN, so it's not a far right website talking about this.
Well, they're trying to move far right to try to get their, they're trying to get their audience back.
Right. But I think it is important to say this is national mainstream news at this point.
Yes, yes.
And you had Elizabeth Warren who made a comment recently who said, hey, you know, you're good with Joe Biden as president. You good with Kamala Harris as vice president? She said, well, I'll leave that up to Joe. So then the party leaders got furious with Elizabeth Warren.
I'll leave that up to Joe was not strong enough.
Right. And so they're calling her saying, you gotta apologize. So now Elizabeth Warren has had to leave voicemails and messages.
Why is she doing that?
To apologize.
But why? If anything, she should be running for president. She should be a vice presidential candidate.
She should be.
Elizabeth Warren is fabulous as a political, as a political candidate. And she's having to apologize to Kamala Harris who's lost what, three quarters of her staff? And her staff, the criticism is that she was lazy. She's disorganized. She's over her head. She's petty and mean. Those are just a few of the things that are coming from the staff as they move away from this woman. And Elizabeth Warren is apologizing. Don't you wanna say Elizabeth, you don't have to apologize. You know, jump into the race, run.
You know what stuck out to me though, reading through this article, because you see the arguments that the party leadership is making for don't attack Kamala. And it's the same arguments that we would get in emails and phone calls and Twitter messages in 2016 saying, how dare you call out the bad things Hillary Clinton has done because you could cost the Democrats the election.
I know, really.
But, it's verbatim what these Democratic insiders are saying now. Like, no, you can't attack the vice president. You can't call her out because we're in the fight of our lives and by God, we've gotta win. And that's their mentality. It's their job to make sure they win. But at the same time, it's okay as people to say, listen, yeah, I like this party, but do they screw up a lot? Yeah, they do.
Look, there's an interesting article I saw that we have visuals, that everything is visual where it comes to the American public when they're evaluating politics. You know, if I were to say to you, what is the visual of Dukakis? What would you, what comes to your mind?
He's the tank guy.
The tank, the helmet, right? He's driving in the tank.
