This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Senator Harris says shes
Senator Harris, says shes,
proud of her record as
prosecutor and shell be a
prosecutor vice president.
She laughed about it when asked
if she ever smoked, marijuana,
im, proud of making a
decision so not just give fancy
speeches or be in legislative
body and give speeches on the
floor, but actually doing the
work
and the people that suffered
under your reign as prosecutor.
You owe them an apology,
Steve Ouch,
ainsleyia, taste of whats, yet
to come.
Ben Shapiro joins us right now:
hey Ben
Ben. How are you
Ainsley im doing? Well,
what will her opponent? What
will her critics say?
Ben well, President Trump
should be overjoyed that Joe
Biden made strategic blunder of
picking Harris and the entire
campaign was putting spotlight
on President Trump and now
spotlight on Biden campaign.
President Trump should make it
very clear that at this point,
hes running against Harris and
not running against Joe Biden,
Joe Biden is stand in and Harris
is extreme and manipulative and
she dropped out before
single digit support in home
state of California,
Steve Poll came last week. Sixty percent
of those who responded said they
dont think that Joe Biden is
going to fill out his term, which
would effectively make her the
president.
When you go to vote on Tuesday
in November. It would be Donald
Trump versus Kamala Harris by
extension.
Meanwhile, when the news broke
yesterday at 414 in the
afternoon via e mail rather than
press conference, or anything
like that, breaking news, Senator
Kamala Harris of California is
Joe Bidens pick for vice
president,
a pragmatic, moderate shes, the
first black woman on a major
party ticket.
Is she a pragmatic moderate?
Is that true
Ben no
Trojan of Horse Harris is not
pragmatic,
shes, the most leftist senators
in the entire United States
Senate
she votes with Bernie Sanders.
Ninety two percent of the time
she has decided that she would
like to ban fracking.
We will see how that goes for
her for Joe Biden in
Pennsylvania.
She wants to ban plastic straws
and she laughed about that in
open debate.
She is obviously an
extraordinarily extreme
candidate and she also happens
to be really really bad. At
this
I mean people are forgetting
shes, not good. At this.
She has one decent debate who
she called the guy who she is
now serving, as vice president
and called him a racist and
believed that sexual harassment,
accusers and guy she thinks hes racist
Brian. We thought voodoo
economics, but nothing like this
tulsi gabart looked at her
record and took her apart and
she never recovered
im amazed that she didnt think
her position.
She could not defend her own
record along with new beliefs,
and she found herself walking
back almost every major issue
which getting rid of private
insurance
Ben. She had to walk back
original attack on Biden.
Joe Biden would have prevented a
girl like her busing to school.
She picked whatever positions
she think is going help her at
the time.
Obviously, her tendency are
extraordinarily radical and to
the left and if she were given
the power thats, what she would
do
shes suggested openly, despite
Biden, trying to shied her by
executive order, ban assault
weapons, which is an amazing
thing.
Ainsley remember when Bernie
Sanders we got this weve
talked so, if youre, a
progressive, just vote for him.
Well, the Congressional
Progressive Caucus Cochair was
bragging about how movable Joe
Biden is.
Listen to this
as soon as we get him in the
White House and before with the
task forces that we had, we were
able to significantly push Joe
Biden to do things that he
hadnt signed onto before. So he
is moverrable and he is
listening and he does understand
that we need turnout from young
people from folks of Color
Ainsley. So how far left is this
party willing to go once he is
in office
Ben as far left as humanly
possible?
Joe Biden is a career politician
who has taken variety of
positions on variety of issues
and they got him on a gurney and
wheeling him out there.
Everybody understands hes, just
a vehicle for whatever the
Democratic Party is going to
become in Post Biden ERA,
Biden, says hes, a transitional
figure
Harris understands this, and the
President of the United States
should be openly campaigning
that Joe Biden will probably not
be around to finish second term
and probably not even first
term
its Trump versus Harris, and it
should be Trump versus Harris
Steve. I heard so many pundits
talk in the last twelve hours or so
how she was the safest pick when
you look at it, because she was
the attorney general in
California and she ran for state
Office and she was vetted during
the presidential campaign, but
really when you, when you look
at her record, as you have
explained, shes, not that safe a
pick at all
Ben im bewildered by the
conventional wisdom that shes a
safe pick,
zero black support in the
primaries she doesnt bring
enthusiasm to the ticket.
She doesnt bring any level of
charm to the ticket,
shes actually kind of awful in
debate. Once you get past the
first punch,
I dont know what she brings to
the table.
Frankly, I thought that he was
going to pick Susan Rice.
I think its a massive strategic
error.
He wanted to check a couple of
boxes and the twitter blue
checks will be happy with Biden,
two point seven seconds and go back
Brian convention momentum, Joe
Biden is not even going so we
will see and even todays
announcement there wont be any
pause. I dont think I think
they are to an empty room
wearing masks, saying hi from
six feet apart and
very excite forking
media for the next couple of
days, and we will get back into
how much they hate trump.
The good news is Trump has a.
