No show for Harris at Howard University when all the people that worked their butts off for her for months are there to at least hear her say, I'm sorry, we lost. Thank you. I want you to think back on presidential elections. Tell me how many times that's happened. You may remember, I literally don't, but there may have been times where a loser didn't show up to at least thank the people who put everything on the line. She's a no-show at Howard University, which is her alma mater. Everybody who's worked so hard for months, they're out there in tears and you got these idiots, these numb nuts saying, hey, everybody, relax. It's not over. We still got the blue wall they're telling them, and then they'd cheer and then, oh, wait, maybe we lost part of the blue wall. The pathology of that whole meeting was so weird. And I'm looking at these people and I'm thinking, God, why would Harris not come there and say, rather than I'll see you tomorrow. No, tomorrow's tomorrow. These people are hurting tonight and they were there to hear her say that. What do you think?

This is a time when your party needed you more than ever.

Leadership, it's called leadership.

And somebody, somebody maybe hoping to be the next Democratic nominee, should have made that move. And honestly, at that point, it was an open spot. Hey, if you want to be the next leader of the party, come out here and show some strength.

It was a lack of leadership. It's what we would expect from a president had she won. You see? Wasn't it a reflection on that character card, which is a lack of leadership? Of course, you're torn up that you lost, you've worked so hard. You've done all these huge sacrifices, but the people in that audience did too. They spent 12 hour days for the last three weeks trying to make something happen and not to show up and just say, well, I'll talk to you tomorrow, bull.

You know what though? And this does bring up that really good point is as of you and I standing here right now and filming this, so this will air later, obviously, we have now had plenty of opportunity, plenty of time for any single person, a politician in the Democratic party, to stand up. To take the reins of this party that is clearly out of control.

Good point.

Hasn't happened yet.

Good point, Farron.

And that is something, if I were Gavin Newsom, I would've said, get me in front of a camera right now. I am going to call for the unity. I'm going to tell people to keep their heads up. I'm going to say the fight is not over. We will make sure that we protect ourselves and we protect our fellow citizens.

If you're Harris, thinking about running again.

She's young enough, she could.

What leadership is that? Not even to show up, to say thank you. Thank you, I know what you've been through. I've been through it too. And share in that loss. Just bring them up a little bit. Farron Cousins, thank you, man.

Thank you.

That's all for the time we have this week, but all these segments are going to be posted right here on this channel in the coming week. Make sure you subscribe. I'm Mike Papantonio. This has been America's Lawyer, where every week we tell you stories that corporate media won't tell you because their advertisers won't let 'em, or their tribal politics don't allow for it. We don't have that problem. We don't have tribal politics, and we don't worry about advertisers here. We'll see you next time.
