Kamala: All Vibes, No Policies

and of course now the man himself Ben Shapiro gonna help us break down everything that's gone down this week so Ben we'll get to kamla Harris but first uh I want your reaction to what we've seen in Chicago so far to this point I hate all of it every single bit of it it's all terrible I mean here is my biggest problem obviously K Harris has been the vice president of the United States for the last three and a half years under Joe Biden and apparently that never happened it was all just a figment of our imagination Joe Biden never existed they had him come out and yell at the moon and then they shipped him off to California they made sure that he didn't speak in prime time and he has not been seen since apparently he's the still sitting president but we really have no idea to be honest and then ever since then we have just been treated to speaker after speaker explaining that Kamala is just Joy she's just Vibes man and she dances and she cooks and and then they bring out Tim Walls and Tim Walls it turns out is also Vibes he's kind of weird goofy sitcom dad Vibes but he's Vibes too and apparently none of these people have ever held high office none of these people ever have had an agenda none of them actually have any policies the only thing that we know about kamla Harris is that KLA Harris once worked at McDonald's and also apparently she was a hard charging tough ontheborder da who wants to lower your taxes which is super weird since I remember this person named Kamala Harris and she's been the VP for like three and a half years and she was a Senator before that and then she was Attorney General of California before that but apparently her career actually ended in like 2006 in California and now she's just running for president never heard of this lady before and then when you get to Tim Walls it's as though his career stopped when he was an assistant volunteer coach at a high school somewhere back in the mid 90s and since then he's been you know a multiple term Congress person and a two-term governor of the state of Minnesota where he was totally tyrannical when he wasn't just letting the state burn itself down over BLM but none of that ever happened I mean it's super weird if you feel like you're being gaslit it's because you are it's because you are and the media are so complicit in all of this it's time for me to bring out my calendar here it is here it is we are on day 33 of K not being asked any questions after cing out the actual nominee and then providing zero policy answers 33 days with the media not caring at all because they're at the tail end of the human centipede that is the Democratic Party media complex so Ben there seems to be a clear reason that they're not trotting her out in front of the media because she is appearing to gain ground in the polls do you believe those polls that show her up by around three points nationally just how close do you think this race actually is right now so the good news for Trump is that despite a month of non-stop sycophantic drool cup carrying coverage from the media she is up only slightly like with this kind of coverage she should be up 10 there there's no question that she should be up heavily against Trump given the fact that the last month has been spent Just Waxing poetic about what a wonderful human being KL Harris is what a Charming insanely charismatic person she is I mean listen all of us remember because we follow politics closely but most people don't even remember her actual presidential run in 2019 2020 because it was both shortlived and awful and then it was kind of in the past and nobody followed it you really have to be kind of a political junkie to follow the primaries closely enough to pay attention to the candidates who never even make it to the actual voting in the primaries let alone the general election then as vice president she's kind of shuffled off to the back room where they pretended she had a job and she played solitire all day and so now the sort of reintroduction of KLA Harris with this sort of heavy gloss of celebrity on her you would imagine that should boost her in the polls you know 10 15 points actually and what it's actually boosted her is to about Joe Biden was at least in that range before he completely collapsed in that debate with Donald Trump and effectively died on the stage and so yes I believe the polls that she is up maybe anywhere from one to three points maybe at the outside Four Points the the swing states are all unbelievably close like super close we have seven states that are within margin of error and so what that means is that despite all of these attempts the American people still are not sold on kamla Harris and it seems to me that what we should be seeing right now is her High Water Market it's hard to think of her going up from here absence some sort of serious blunder by President Trump at a certain point you would imagine there's still some 80 some days left until the election at some point she will have to come back to earth it's going to be Trump's job in the debates to make sure that she actually answers for her record but it is unbelievable it's absolutely incredible how the media and Harris have been able to transform her candidacy from a continuation of the man she serves under currently like right now she's the sitting VP into a fight against an incumbent Donald Trump it's as though the last three and a half years absolutely don't exist she's slated to speak tonight and what they are telling us is that when she speaks tonight her thematics are going to be about how our nation now has a fleeting opportunity to move past bitterness cynicism and divisive P battles of the past and a chance to chart a new way forward what new Way Forward you're the sitting vice president that's that a new way forward normally the message is don't change horses in the middle of the stream her message instead because everyone wants to change horses in the middle of the stream is the stream doesn't exist the horse doesn't exist in fact we're living in 2020 and Joe Biden never existed and so we're broding this thing we're just going to pluck it out of the Mist and pretend none of this ever existed so do I believe she's up that a long answer do I believe that she's up slightly yes I believe she's up slightly so I think that that definitely lasts I definitely do not and hey Ben it's Natalie Winters here I guess my question for you you know you would expect DNC RNC would give to the respective party a boon in the polls right you'd see at least sort of a a short uptick you haven't really seen that right it's sort of an interesting reversal in that Trend if anything you've seen Donald Trump continue to to gain ground not just in swing States how do you think that sort of shakes out coming off the heels of the DNC but more importantly if RFK Jr comes out tomorrow and endorses the Trump Campaign Will that not take basically all of the air if there is any air uh that the DNC gave to the Harris campaign to begin with well I think the DNC is much more of a continuation of the last three weeks than it is anything new so normally in a political cycle nobody pays attention until you actually get to the conventions but because everybody knew both of the candidates for so long in Trump and Biden every everyone already had their opinions baked in by the time the RNC happened so there was no real bump there for president Trump and everybody knew what was going to happen at the DNC except that they CED him out and they put in KL Harris and all the warm feelings that aced to KL Harris that happened instantaneously I mean that was that was right then it was not as though it took a while for that warm feeling to sort of suffuse the Harris campaign literally the moment they took Joe Biden out back and shot him like Old Yeller at that point all of the warm feelings simply glommed on to kamla Harris and suddenly you know she was spiking in the poles and she basically been gaining a little bit fading a little bit I wouldn't expect to see any big bump out of the DNC despite all of the warm coverage because again she's been getting nothing but sycophantic drooling media coverage since the day that she became the nominee without ever earning a single primary vote in her entire life so RFK Jr coming forward and endorsing Trump so the math suggests that right now nationally speaking he's pulling about 4% so between four and 5% and the breakdown in that four or five% is that it used to be 12% and or 10% everybody who was going to vote for RFK because they did not like Joe Biden went back to KLA Harris which suggests that the vast bulk of the people who are currently saying they'll vote for RFK are warm toward Donald Trump that that is what Amy Walter at Cook political is suggesting she suggests that by about 2 to one margin the the RFK vote favors Trump right now so if he moves over to Trump many of those people are likely to move into Trump's category you're talking about slim percentages but again you're talking about margin of error in many of these states so if you switch one percentage point in Wisconsin or Pennsylvania or Michigan or Georgia or North Carolina or Nevada or Arizona that could be enough to shape the election so Ben I'm interested then on your take on if Trump should cut a deal like it seems like RFK is going to drop out he is going to endorse Trump if there was a a deal in place where that endorsement is coming with a promise of a cabinet position do you think that's a a good trade for the Trump campaign yeah I do I mean I think that at this point it's it's a close enough election that you got to pull out all the stops and if Trump were to leave that on the table I think that would be a mistake in fact you know I I think again that that so much of of what president Trump did at the RNC was about his belief that the election was effectively already won against Joe Biden that this sort of VI the JD Vance pick as VP I like JD Vance I think JD Vance is a brilliant guy I mean there's just no question about that with that said JD Vance did not win Trump a whole hell of a lot of additional votes he actually outp JD Vance in his home state of Ohio it's not as though JD Vance is bringing along huge WS of people in Michigan Pennsylvania or Wisconsin and so that was really more about Legacy or it was more about him believing that JD Van's a good attack dog and so he sort of forwin candidates who theoretically could have brought some swing voters people like Glen youngin for example in favor of JD Vance I don't think that he can afford to miss more opportunities like that and so if there is the opportunity to bring RFK Jr on board even if that means giving RFK Jr EPA or something uh then then I think that that Trump will and should do it I'm curious too Ben you know when we say the DNC we're obviously talking about what's going on inside the walls inside the barricades even though those don't work but so much has happened outside too right and I think the Democrats are trying to draw a distinction say we're not you know Cut From the Same Cloth but in reality like you were alluding to the gaslighting that we've seen going on I would argue that what's going on inside the convention is just as radical as what's going on outside they're just hiding it they're just masking it a little better but how do you sort of square what's going on outside the convention with the radical policies being pushed inside I mean that you're totally right I mean I'm looking at the lower hand of the screen and what I'm seeing are a wave of American flags when's the last time that you went to a rally filled with Democrats and it was filled with American flags the answer is pretty much never in fact you're much more likely to spot Democrats in a crowd that's burning an American flag than in a crowd that is flying American flags that say a Fourth of July parade but inside the convention hall it's all rah USA cheering for American hostages being held by Hamas like we know that that's not what the Democratic party is about which is why all the Jewish groups inside the DNC have been put in unspecified ations so the pramas Nik don't actually assault them on the premises it's pretty obvious that this is the case given the fact that Joe Biden himself went out of his way to say that the protesters have a point I wouldn't be surprised if kamla Harris tries to Pat those people on the head tonight given the fact that some of those people are very angry with her for the DNC even paying homage to the American hostages who are currently being held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip so yes I mean the the entire game of the DNC is to prevent anyone from understanding what their policy looks like the only things you have heard from the DNC in terms of policy realistically speaking Lots about abortion really really big into abortion they love the abortion the abortion is huge they're performing them out in the parking lot that's not even a joke that's reality they had an 18 foot high inflatable IUD which is the weirdest idolatry I've ever heard of there those are the kinds of things that actually mean a lot to the Democrats in terms of policy and we know they hate project 2025 which Donald Trump himself has dissociated from so that's that's all you have if you go to KLA Harris's website there are literally no policy positions but there is the entirety of project 2025 so again this entire convention is about lying to the American people lying over and over and over if you listen to the DNZ what you would would believe is that Bill Clinton is just a good old boy from Arkansas who is not endorsing the radical left and also does not have a checker history with women you would believe that Hillary Clinton is a moderate who tried to unify the country rather than somebody who called half the country deplorables you would believe that Barack Obama was a uniter not a divider along polarizing racial lines you believe that Michelle Obama is a signifi is is a signal unifying figure an Oprah likee figure rather than the radical she is on race and politics and which she basically could not even hold back during her speech so it's just lies and lies and moral lies it's why I I think that if you have a semblance of of interest in politics or you care about policy at all you can't help but feel irritated by this whole thing because they're peeing on your leg and telling you not only that it's raining but that you have to dance in the rain which is what they're doing literally right now Ben the theme of this week is freedom uh or is KLA Harris famous says Freedom as a young girl marching what do you make of that being the center of their messaging well again I think that the bargain that the Democratic party is basically asking Americans to cut is pretty simple they get to control every aspect of your life but you can have consequence free sex with whomever you want that's that's basically the bargain that is why abortion is so high on their list of priorities it's why they they keep talking about some Phantom threat that Republicans are going to like come in your bedroom and stop you from sleeping with whoever you please is though that's like Donald Trump's topof the agenda item is that that is in the Republican National Committee Playbook or platform or something like that that that is the promise the reality of course is that they don't believe in economic freedom they don't believe in the freedom of our allies they they certainly don't believe in military strength they don't believe in your freedom from government they believe that if you have a child and the child goes to a public school and is gender confused by by a teacher and you disagree with the transitioning of the child the child should be removed from your home and become a ward of the state as they are transitioned it's literally Tim Wall's position in Minnesota does that sound like freedom to you does does locking people down for Co sound like freedom to you or letting them burn cities sound like freedom but that is what they mean what they mean by freedom in the end is that if you are socially conservative you must be one of those tyrannical people who doesn't want to let the children dance and also wants to like peek through somebody's Keyhole while they're having sex in their bedroom right that that's that's kind I mean Tim wals basically said that last night and that's the only kind of Freedom that they seem to actually care about is sexual license that's that's pretty much the only I'm I'm having this hard I'm struggling to figure out what they mean by Freedom other than that or the perverse form of sort of philosophically corrupt Freedom pushed by the left that freedom really means putting your hand in somebody else's pocket and then making your way off the back of their money and if that fails then you put your hand deeper in somebody else's pocket socialism is a form of neighborliness of course at least the uh the protesters outside I think have the nerve to admit that they don't even care about Freedom they want to deprive you of basically all all your rights but I'm curious you know Rolling Stone had a piece out a few days ago saying that oh well because the Harris Waltz campaign has put out camo hats uh Rural and Southern voters are now going to come running back to the Democratic party look at us we we we get you we embrace you sort of in tune with the embracing freedom I didn't know that was a value Democrats held um but even just this gaslighting that you were talking about the pivot to you know liking American flags instead of burning them do you think that plays do you think that that checks with voters or do you think people can see through it you know I don't think so and I think that one thing that's becoming very clear about this convention is that it is programmed toward the traditional democratic base since 2012 which is a highly a highly concentrated segment of minority voters as well as upper class white liberal women that that that is what the Democratic party has become they keep doubling down to that base have you seen anything on the stage that appeals to say rural white voters without a college degree I've seen nothing remotely like that it just doesn't exist and bringing Out Beyonce by the way is not going to to exactly reach out to that crowd either it's it's it's fascinating to see I mean the media are of course all members of this contingent I mean the the media are of course members of upper class liberal enclaves in New York and DC and Los Angeles and so they resonate very much to this but I do wonder whether the guy who's living in rural Michigan is looking at this and saying to himself hold up I'm paying like 30% more for my groceries over the course of the last four years and I'm supposed to believe that kamla Harris is joy and that I I got lock down for Co I'm supposed to believe that Tim Walls is freedom I I just I don't know that they can sustain this level of gaslighting for this maybe they can maybe they can and if they can then the American people democracy is the theory that the American people get what they want good and hard so you know if this is what they choose then I suppose this is what they choose but it's all right out there in the open for people to see if they wish to see it there did seem to be one moment where Tim Walls was trying to make a play to what he called the real Hillbillies when he was saying you know JD Vance went to and you know that's not like any hillbilly I know what do you think it says about the Democratic party where that is a punchline now to say yeah this guy grew up poor and in a family of addiction and he went on to one of the best schools in the country and that's a punchline now what does that tell us about the Democrats well I mean it betrays exactly what they think of people who are rural white voters without a college degree which is apparently they have no life aspirations apparently it's very bad if somebody from your town goes to Yale you ought to scorn them instead of saying wow that's kind of amazing that this person was able to escape poverty and then make something of themselves by going to y Law School and becoming a vice presidential candidate instead that's supposed to be bad and I I'm confused as to why that is also the the abject hypocrisy of Tim wall saying that on a stage flanked by people who are all graduates of Ivy League schools except for kamla Harris weirdly enough but Hillary Clinton is a graduate of Harvard Law of Yale law school rather Bill Clinton's a graduate of Yale law school Barack Obama's a graduate of Harvard Law School Michelle Obama's graduate of Harvard Law School like these are all IV League people and and for for Tim Walls to be out there being like well yeah we think the Ivy Leagues are bad you own The Ivy Leagues my friend you're the ones who are catering to all the Kamas Nik who are setting up in camps on the ivy league campuses while promoting terrorism so I don't think that washes and again I think this this kind of sneering down the nose at people who are who are supposed Hillbillies by saying well them they Hillbillies they don't even understand what a college is so you and your fancy College learning you got a scoring JD JD Vance understands the so-called Hillbillies way the hell better than a socialist like Tim Walls does who spends years at a time in China that's a weird thing I I feel like that doesn't really connect with say the the rust Bel machine worker living in Ohio and I think my favorite uh line from last night might have been Tim wall saying there were 24 high schoolers in my class none of them went to Yale as if that was something to brag about but final question Ben just give us a preview of tonight what should we be expecting to hear from KL Harris so much joy the levels of Joy unparalleled Joy just joy and joy so much joy you won't believe the amount of Joy it's going to be coming out your ears Almond Joy Joy detergent Joy everywhere Joy from inside out like all the joys is just springing forth from the stage you're going to feel it the laughter is going to be infectious guys she's going to laugh and the whole world will laugh with her there'll be so much emotion so much unity and about this much policy because she will never ever talk about her policies it is the it is the impossibility of this campaign for her to square The Joy with the political chaos that she and her boss who she shived directly in the kidney that that they've brought upon the country so expect a bunch of vague platitudes tonight about bringing the country together I would assume that it's going to be fairly boring I don't think it'll be particularly uplifting I think the media will play it that way but it's honestly I think it's going to be hard for her to top the Beyonce of it I think she's going to sort of ride that wave that is the celebrity culture that is the Democrats and you can see the the chicks they're no longer the Dixie Chicks they're just the Chicks singing uh and um and you know again like that that is what the Democratic National Convention is about it's it's a bunch of Hollywood with a little bit of DC attached all right Ben thank you as always for your analysis we appreciate your time thanks so much
