For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.
What will likely be the only vice presidential debate — between Senator JD Vance (R-OH) and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) — is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, with CBS News anchors Margaret Brennan and Norah O&#8217;Donnell moderating the conversation.
CBS News previewed the debate coverage on Sunday morning&#8217;s &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221;:

The debate was also a hot topic across the other Sunday morning shows, and ABC News&#8217; &#8220;This Week&#8221; was no exception. During a panel discussion, The New Yorker&#8217;s Susan Glasser suggested that Vance should have to answer for his 2016 statement referring to former President Donald Trump — who is now his running mate — as &#8220;America&#8217;s Hitler.&#8221;
Glasser did not mention the fact that Vance has already addressed that statement, telling Fox News host Sean Hannity, &#8220;I don&#8217;t hide from that. I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016, but President Trump was a great president and he changed my mind. I think he changed the minds of a lot of Americans.&#8221;

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki — who parlayed that experience into a gig on MSNBC — laid down some early cover fire for Walz as she used her monologue on &#8220;Inside with Jen Psaki&#8221; to warn viewers not to be fooled by Vance&#8217;s ability to answer questions coherently.
&#8220;If the past is any guide, he&#8217;s not actually a bad debater,&#8221; Psaki said of Vance. &#8220;Vance is a bit more disciplined, a bit more on his message &#8230; so here&#8217;s the thing: if you&#8217;re expecting a repeat of Harris&#8217; last debate where Trump basically fell on his face, I have news for you. While Trump rambles and lashes out and veers from one topic to another, Vance has the ability to actually stay focused and discuss policy. He has a deep and comprehensive understanding of how government works.&#8221;
&#8220;JD Vance may be less bombastic on stage than Donald Trump, he may sound more thoughtful. He may be a little drier, a little more policy focused, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that he is any less dangerous and less extreme than his boss,&#8221; Psaki cautioned.

On CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; Jake Tapper opened up a panel discussion on the debate by saying that he didn&#8217;t recall a time in which two vice presidential candidates disliked each other as much as he believed Vance and Walz did.
Former Harris staffer Ashley Etienne argued that Vance did nothing for Trump&#8217;s ticket, claiming in the same breath that Walz — one of the most left-leaning governors in the country — gave the vice president a broader base by reaching out to moderate Republicans and independents.
&#8220;The reason why he was picked was to bridge that cultural divide, to reach out to constituencies that the Democratic Party has had problems, you know, reaching — moderate Republicans, disaffected Republicans, independent Republicans, you know, he&#8217;s signaling to a constituency that you can vote for this ticket,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;He&#8217;s incredibly consequential to the Harris ticket.&#8221;
GOP strategist Scott Jennings had difficulty keeping a straight face while Etienne was talking, prompting Tapper to bring him into the conversation next.
&#8220;Well, first of all, I don’t find him to be consequential. Second of all, Walz is a buffoon, I’m sorry, this guy. He’s the only school teacher in America who brags that none of his students can get into an Ivy League school,&#8221; Jennings began. &#8220;He’s had one consequential press interaction with our Dana Bash, who asked him about the fabrications in his own resume, and his answer was essentially, &#8216;Me no understand words good.&#8217; I mean, he’s a buffoon. He’s on a free ride, for running under Harris, he gets very little press. They don’t let him talk to the press for a reason.&#8221;
&#8220;I want one thing out of this debate,&#8221; Jennings concluded. &#8220;I want JD Vance to go out there and get under his skin. He has a legendary hot, short temper. A lot of governors do, but he apparently he does. I want JD Vance to go out there and have him explain why he is denigrating JD Vance’s story, small town America, ends up making something better out of his life, which is something we should want for every kid.&#8221;

&#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; regular Katty Kay conceded on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris does not poll well with men — across a number of demographics — and she suggested a possible solution the campaign might implement in order to bridge that gap.
Kay argued that Harris&#8217; campaign — which has not been terribly forthcoming with regard to answering questions from the press or outlining actual policies that were likely to be implemented in a Harris administration — could have her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), do more from the campaign trail.

&#8220;Either the concern or the upside, depending on how you look at this from the Harris campaign&#8217;s point of view, is that Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin people think will break the same way,&#8221; she said of Harris&#8217; focus in the swing states. &#8220;That&#8217;s what they&#8217;ve done traditionally ever since 1980, I think there&#8217;s one exception, so if they lose Pennsylvania, what would that then mean for Wisconsin and Michigan? If they win Wisconsin and Michigan, does that then mean they&#8217;re going to win Pennsylvania?&#8221;
Kay then pointed out that the major problem facing the Harris campaign was &#8220;men.&#8221;
&#8220;But it&#8217;s men, I think the real struggle for the Harris campaign, is young men, old men, men of color, white men — and they are doing all they can, you can see – I think we&#8217;ll see the debate next week will be really interesting to see how Tim Walz reaches out to that group. Doug Emhoff &#8230; he is making a concerted effort in his own way to reach out to that group. They know that&#8217;s where they — they know that&#8217;s where they have a weakness.&#8221;

2024 Democratic National Convention: Day 4

Kamala Polls Badly With Men, And ‘Morning Joe’ Has … The Solution?

Doug Emhoff

Joe Scarborough

Mika Brzezinski

Morning Joe

Yesterday, 60 days into her campaign, Kamala Harris did her first nationally televised one-on-one interview. She chose official boot-licker Stephanie Ruhle of MSNBC to do it. 
In her previous interview with Dana Bash of CNN, Harris brought her emotional support, Renfield Tim Walz, to save her if she got in trouble and make her feel better by looking over at him every so often and petting her emotional support Corgi.
Last week, Ruhle excused Harris, <a href="https://x.com/RealSaavedra/status/1839092608145949074" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> she didn&#8217;t have to answer any tough questions: “One could watch and say she didn&#8217;t give a clear and direct answer. And that&#8217;s okay, because we&#8217;re not talking about clear and direct issues.&#8221; So, of course, the Harris campaign decided Harris would be interviewed by Ruhle.
And Harris made a fool of herself. She achieved the signal distinction of completely falling flat on her face in an interview with a person who was busily attempting to massage her with baby oil.
Kamala Harris has found a new way to fail: She flubs interviews with people who carry drool cups for her. 
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2056-harris-collapses-on-national-television-again-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
Harris began the interview, <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/09/25/kamala_harris_gone_is_the_day_of_everyone_thinking_they_could_actually_live_the_american_dream.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, “Gone is the day of everyone thinking they could actually live the American Dream.” At no point did it occur to her that she&#8217;s the current vice president of the United States.
“Part of my vision for the economy is, let&#8217;s deal with some of the everyday challenges that people face and address them with commonsense solutions such as affordable housing,” she said.
Affordable housing is her latest solution. Do you feel quieted now? Do you feel calmer?
She explained that it&#8217;s very important to have plans, and plans are really, really important. She was asked at one point if she&#8217;s so against the Trump tariff plan, why did she keep half those tariffs in place? And <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/09/25/kamala_harris_trump_is_just_not_very_serious_about_how_he_thinks_about_issues_one_must_be_serious_and_have_a_plan.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she said</a>:
<blockquote>You don&#8217;t just throw around the idea of just tariffs across the board, and that&#8217;s part of the problem with Donald Trump. And frankly — I&#8217;m going to — and I say this in all sincerity. He&#8217;s just not very serious about how he thinks about some of these issues. And one must be serious and have a plan.</blockquote>
Yes, the unnamed plan.
“One must be serious.” Yes, quite right. She&#8217;s a serious person.
You want more babbling? Here we go. She started babbling about paying your “fair share.”
Ruhle asked Harris about wanting to raise taxes in certain areas, wanting certain tax credits, and so on, asking if she has a Republican Congress and can&#8217;t do any of that? What will she do then? 
Kamala had no answer. This is such a perfectly obvious question, and she had no answer whatsoever. She just started babbling about her “fair share.”
She was mentally flipping through — at very slow speed because she is not smart —  all of the various three by five note cards she stores in her head until she found one labeled “fair share.” The roulette ball fell into the roulette wheel and suddenly she was stumbling around and found <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/09/kamala-harris-msnbc-stephanie-ruhle-interview-1236099865/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“fair share”</a>:
<blockquote>We&#8217;re going to have to raise corporate taxes, and we&#8217;re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That&#8217;s just it. It&#8217;s about paying their fair share.</blockquote>
She had no idea what to say so she basically went with: “We have to do the thing.”
That’s not an answer. That is similar to being asked, “How are you going to drive to work this morning? The transmission fell out of your car. How can you get to work?” And giving the answer, “We have to get to work.”
She was asked a question. She actually started smiling when she got to the phrase “fair share” because she found what she thought was the right note card.
There is nothing going on up there, folks. She&#8217;s empty between the ears. 
<h4> <a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a></h4>
Don&#8217;t believe me? I have a “holistic” answer in which she explains how she approaches problems “holistically.” She gave <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/26/us/politics/kamala-harris-interviews-campaign.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an answer</a> so “holistically” that I have no words to describe the stupidity.
<blockquote>Some of the work is going to be through what we do in terms of giving benefits and assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars, and looking holistically at the connection between that and housing, and looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in a holistic manner that includes prioritizing affordable housing for working people.</blockquote>
That was three uses of the word “holistic” inside 10 seconds.
She is a stupid person.
Anyone listening to her and thinking, “Wow, higher intelligence at work,” is likely the sucker in the room.

Harris Collapses On National Television — Again

Opinion

U.S. Politics

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> gave her first solo interview on Wednesday, sitting down with friendly MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle for a 25-minute conversation about her policy positions ahead of the 2024 presidential election — but it missed the mark by such a wide margin that even The New York Times panned her performance.
The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/25/us/politics/kamala-harris-msnbc-interview-takeaways.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> was benignly titled &#8220;3 Takeaways From Kamala Harris’s Interview on MSNBC,&#8221; but the sub-headline cut straight to the quick: &#8220;In her first one-on-one cable TV interview since becoming the nominee, the vice president repeatedly dodged direct questions and stuck firmly on message.&#8221;
The three main takeaways from the interview — which was granted to Ruhle just days after the MSNBC anchor argued in defense of Harris not taking any difficult policy questions — were laid out by reporter Reid Epstein.
First, he said, &#8220;Harris had roundabout answers to open-ended questions.&#8221;
Epstein then mentioned a question Harris had been asked on the economy — specifically why it was that voters continued to tell pollsters that they trusted former President Donald Trump more than they trusted her when it came to handling economic policy.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
Harris gave no answer to the direct question about why Trump was resonating more with voters, and instead claimed that he was responsible for lost manufacturing jobs among other things.
Epstein&#8217;s second takeaway was Harris&#8217; apparent unwillingness to consider the possibility that even in the event that she won the presidency, Democrats could lose control of the U.S. Senate.
Harris ignored a direct question from Ruhle on that, too, and continued to tout policies that would certainly flounder in a Republican-controlled Senate.
&#8220;But we’re going to have to raise corporate taxes. We’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That’s just it. It’s about paying their fair share. I am not mad at anyone for achieving success, but everyone should pay their fair share,&#8221; she said.
The final takeaway was as much a criticism of Ruhle and MSNBC as it was of Harris: &#8220;A hard-hitting Harris interview is still yet to come.&#8221;
Epstein noted that while Harris had been more open to doing interviews in the last week or so — after weeks of simply hiding from the press — she still appeared unwilling to take any questions from anyone who might actually demand a substantive answer.
&#8220;Her media strategy has been to sit with friendly inquisitors who are not inclined to ask terribly thorny questions or press her when her responses are evasive,&#8221; he wrote, adding, &#8220;It’s not quite clear what Ms. Harris gained, aside from giving her campaign aides the ability to say she held a one-on-one cable television interview.&#8221;
Ruhle herself admitted that Harris had not really <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/msnbc-anchor-makes-excuses-for-kamala-after-interview-yields-heaping-bowl-of-word-salad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">given straight answers</a> to her questions — although she did not offer any apology for her failure to press the vice president with any follow-up questions.

MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle interviewed Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> on Wednesday, and even as their conversation went to air, Ruhle was already making excuses for the presidential candidate and her consistent inability to give clear answers about any of her policies.
Ruhle told fellow MSNBC host Chris Hayes, &#8220;One could watch and say she didn&#8217;t give a clear and direct answer. And that&#8217;s okay, because we&#8217;re not talking about clear and direct issues.&#8221;

Harris became the Democratic Party&#8217;s candidate — largely by default — when President Joe Biden was effectively forced out of the contest by prominent members and large-dollar donors within his own party. But since leap-frogging to the top of her party&#8217;s ticket — despite never winning a single primary vote on her own merits — Harris has rarely taken questions, and even more rarely, attempted to answer them.

Her attempts on Wednesday appear to have fallen flat, judging from Ruhle&#8217;s rapid attempts to run cover for her, and several video clips of her answers suggested that she was delivering more of the same rambling, unintelligible non-answers that have marked her tenure as vice president.
When asked how she intended to fight price gouging — which she has promised to do despite having no evidence that it is actually happening — without implementing Soviet-style price controls, she pivoted.
&#8220;So, just to be very frank, I am never going to apologize for going after companies and corporations that take advantage of the desperation of the American people,&#8221; Harris said, but made no real move to answer the question. Instead, she rambled some more about disasters like weather-related events or the COVID pandemic and repeated her promise to prevent price gouging.
&#8220;Yes, I&#8217;m going to go after them, yeah, I&#8217;m going to go after them, and that&#8217;s part of a more comprehensive plan on what we can do to bring down the cost of living, including housing, including the everyday needs of the American people,&#8221; she continued.

Ruhle&#8217;s interview, as MSNBC&#8217;s Public Relations team noted when they announced it, marked Harris&#8217; first solo network appearance since becoming the candidate. She did one pre-recorded interview with friendly CNN anchor Dana Bash, but her running mate Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) had been by her side for that.

U.S.

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> was unable to answer during an interview this week where she would get the money for her big government programs if Republicans win control of the Senate.
Harris was confronted over the matter during a softball interview Wednesday evening on MSNBC with Stephanie Ruhle when asked what she would do if she could not pay for her plans by increasing the corporate tax rate, which would also hurt the economy.
&#8220;Well-, but we&#8217;re going to have to raise corporate taxes, and we&#8217;re going to have to raise, we&#8217;re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. That&#8217;s just it,&#8221; Harris responded. &#8220;It&#8217;s about paying their fair share. I am not mad at anyone for achieving success, but everyone should pay their fair share.&#8221;
Harris claimed that teachers and firefighters pay more in taxes than the top earners in the U.S. even though the top 1% <a href="https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/latest-federal-income-tax-data-2024/#:~:text=High%2DIncome%20Taxpayers%20Paid%20the%20Majority%20of%20Federal%20Income%20Taxes,of%20all%20federal%20income%20taxes." target="_blank" rel="noopener">pays</a> 46% of the taxes in the U.S., a larger share than the bottom 90% combined.
&#8220;But how do you find that line to make sure corporations are paying their fair share, but they&#8217;re not leaving our country?&#8221; Ruhle asked.
&#8220;Well, listen, I work with a lot of CEOs. I have spent a lot of time with CEOs, and I&#8217;m going to tell you that the business leaders who are actually part of the engine of America&#8217;s economy agree that people should pay their fair share,&#8221; Harris claimed. &#8220;They also agree that when we look at a plan such as mine, that is about investing in the middle class, investing in new industries, investing in bringing down costs, invest in entrepreneurs like small businesses, that the overall economy is stronger and everyone benefits.&#8221;

Harris Casts Herself As Pro-Labor ‘Capitalist’ In Economic Pitch

Kamala Harris Stumped When Asked How She’ll Pay For Her Agenda If GOP Controls Senate

Swing state union members hit MSNBC host Alex Wagner with a brutal reality check when they made it clear to her that they don’t care about what happened on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/january-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January 6th, 2021</a>.
During a piece that aired on Monday on “<a href="https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1838939537554194790">Alex Wagner Tonight</a>: View From The Battlegrounds, Live from Michigan,” Wagner spoke to people labeled as “undecided battleground voters” on a host of issues ahead of the 2024 Election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
One union member she spoke to said he wasn&#8217;t particularly &#8220;familiar&#8221; with “February 6th.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Wagner then corrected him, “January 6th,” before the man explained that he “remembered that day,” but it wouldn’t be a deciding factor in the 2024 election.
“I know he [Trump] was the standing president,” the person said. “I’m not familiar with the charges that are being brought against him. I’m not following that charge or, you know, there’s multiple court cases going on. I’m just not familiar with it.”
When pressed further by Wagner on whether it would be a factor in who he’s going to vote for, the union member said, “No.”

The MSNBC host then spoke to another person and asked, “When I say January 6th, what do you think?”
The second person replied, “I just remember seeing it on the news … all the riots and stuff. I didn’t know what it was about or what happened.”
She then pressed him to see how it “made him feel” when he saw it, and he said, “I don’t know I feel really any way about it. I mean, people showed their emotion. I guess, probably in the wrong way, but it happened.”
In a second <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6fCUXeuU4Y">clip</a>, she spoke to a union member who said immigration was important to him, noting the “thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants coming across the border every day and the vice president has done minimal work to fix that.”
He also said “based on” the first four years of Trump, that the former president would be better with handling the border crisis. The member said he was leaning toward Trump.
She then spoke to another person who told her what matters to them in the election is the “influx” of illegals at the border, as well as the “economy.” When pressed further which way he was going to vote, he said he wasn’t sure yet.

Vice President Kamala Harris agreed to sit for another primetime interview on Wednesday, this time with MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle — who just a few days earlier had argued that voters had no right to expect Harris to answer the tough questions prior to the presidential election.

&#8220;Kamala Harris is not running for perfect, she is running against Trump. We have two choices. There are some things that you might not know her answer to. And in 2024, unlike in 2016, we know exactly what Trump will do, who he is, and the kind of threat he is to democracy,&#8221; Ruhle told host Maher and NYT panelist Bret Stephens last week.
&#8220;The problem that a lot of people have with Kamala is that we don’t know her answer to anything,&#8221; Stephens protested at the time.
&#8220;But you know his answer to everything,&#8221; Ruhle pushed back — despite the fact that she herself, during that same appearance, had <a href="https://x.com/EricAbbenante/status/1837321462752895275" target="_blank" rel="noopener">repeated the false claim</a> that Trump was behind and in favor of implementing The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025.
&#8220;Lol she said last week that Kamala doesn&#8217;t need to answer questions about her policy positions and the campaign immediately jumped to do an interview with her,&#8221; communications strategist Greg Price added.

Kamala Agrees To Interview With MSNBC Anchor Who Argued She Didn't Have To Take Tough Questions

For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.
With just over six weeks to go until the November election, Democrats and their media surrogates have been looking for anything that might stick when it comes to finding a narrative that doesn&#8217;t favor former President Donald Trump.
Complicating matters considerably was the fact that just after the Sunday morning political shows wrapped last weekend, the former President was targeted by a second assassination attempt — just eight weeks and one day after he was shot during his Butler, Pennsylvania, rally — while golfing at his home course in Palm Beach, Florida. And while some time was certainly dedicated on several networks to the ongoing investigation into the reported failings of the United States Secret Service — both in PA and in FL — most of the shows also spent a fair amount of time on whatever they could find that did not favor Trump.
In that respect, the big news was the opposition research dump on Lt. Governor Mark Robinson (R-NC) — and almost every major network show either brought in a Democrat who could use Robinson to attack Trump or brought in a Republicans they could put on the spot, forcing them to choose a side.
Former Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) got tapped to address the issue during a panel discussion on ABC News&#8217; &#8220;This Week,&#8221; and he argued that Robinson&#8217;s predicament had been wholly &#8220;predictable.&#8221;
&#8220;Mark Robinson&#8217;s tenure,&#8221; Christie said, &#8220;Has shown erratic, sometime highly offensive statements over and over again.&#8221;

On CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; anchor Jake Tapper brought in Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) to respond.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen these allegations, Jake, and they&#8217;re concerning allegations &#8230; He owes the people of North Carolina more answers about it,&#8221; Cotton said, before pivoting to push Tapper back toward a conversation about the presidential race &#8220;that matters to everyone.&#8221;

Tapper then brought in Robinson&#8217;s Democratic opponent to continue the conversation, and Josh Stein immediately declared Robinson &#8220;unfit to be the governor of North Carolina.&#8221;
Tapper noted that Robinson has thus far denied responsibility for the comments made on a pornography message board, but Stein said that he did not believe Robinson was telling the truth.
&#8220;If you look at what he said on the post, it is in keeping with what he has said publicly on Facebook that are still on his Facebook page,&#8221; Stein argued. &#8220;Mark Robinson is absolutely unfit to be the governor of North Carolina, and that was true before your story broke last Thursday.

Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance was also asked to weigh in on the topic, but chose instead to redirect.
The Kamala HQ account on X — Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; campaign rapid response team which just last week got hit with an eight-part fact-check from CNN&#8217;s Daniel Dale — shared a video of Vance ignoring a question shouted after him.
&#8220;Q: Senator Vance, do you have any reaction to the Mark Robinson news? Vance: *rushes into other room,*&#8221; the caption read.
&#8220;&#8216;Rushes into other room&#8217; I was *walking* to the doctor (because one of my kids gave me the plague) My comment on Mark Robinson is that Kamala Harris cast the deciding vote on the Inflation Explosion Act and because of that a lot of Americans can&#8217;t afford groceries,&#8221; Vance posted in response.

Spin Cycle: All Eyes On North Carolina

New York Times columnist Bret Stephens challenged <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/msnbc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC&#8217;s</a> Stephanie Ruhle on Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; apparent strategy to avoid press scrutiny at all costs, and Ruhle worked overtime to defend her.
Both Ruhle and Stephens appeared together on comedian Bill Maher&#8217;s show, and the conversation turned to the rapidly approaching presidential election — and Stephens argued that Harris&#8217; refusal to give any real answers on any specific policies was not doing anything to persuade undecided voters like himself.

&#8220;I&#8217;m an undecided voter. I&#8217;m never going to vote for Trump, I&#8217;m not sure I want to vote for Kamala. My fear is that she doesn&#8217;t really have a very good command of what she wants to do as president,&#8221; Stephens began. &#8220;It would be great for her to sit down with [Maher], or George Stephanopoulos, or you, Stephanie.&#8221;

Stephens went on to raise the topic of the ongoing war between Israel and the terror group Hamas, noting that Harris had not been any more clear about her position on that topic than she had about other issues.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not too much to ask Kamala, &#8216;Are you for a Palestinian state, if Hamas is going to run that state?'&#8221; he queried.
&#8220;If you don&#8217;t like her answer, are you going to vote for Trump?&#8221; Ruhle replied, suggesting that it didn&#8217;t matter who Harris was or what she might do, provided she fulfill the one most important condition: not being Donald Trump. &#8220;Kamala Harris is not running for perfect, she is running against Trump. We have two choices. There are some things that you might not know her answer to. In 2024, unlike in 2016, we know exactly what Trump will do, who he is, and the kind of threat he is to democracy.&#8221;
&#8220;The problem that a lot of people have with Kamala is that we don&#8217;t know her answer to anything,&#8221; Stephens protested again.
&#8220;But you know his answer to everything,&#8221; Ruhle pushed back — despite the fact that she herself, during that same appearance, had <a href="https://x.com/EricAbbenante/status/1837321462752895275" target="_blank" rel="noopener">repeated the false claim</a> that Trump was behind and in favor of implementing The Heritage Foundation&#8217;s Project 2025.
&#8220;People also are expected to have some idea of what the program that you&#8217;re supposed to vote for &#8230; I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a lot to ask for her to sit down for a real interview,&#8221; he said.
Still, Ruhle continued to defend Harris, suggesting that getting answer out of Kamala Harris was something that only would happen in a perfect world: &#8220;When you move to Nirvana, give me your real estate broker&#8217;s number, and I&#8217;ll be your next door neighbor. We don&#8217;t live there.&#8221;

MSNBC Journo Defends Kamala As She Continues To Hide From Media

Bill Maher

On Tuesday, only two days after a gunman was arrested for allegedly targeting former President Donald Trump in the second assassination attempt on him in two months, MSNBC hosted a retired U.S. general who warned that Trump’s re-election would engender a generation of Nazi indoctrination.
Brigadier General Steven M. Anderson, who served as the Chief of Logistics Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff – J4, Logistics Readiness Center at the Pentagon before serving as the Multi-National Forces – Iraq, Director of Sustainment and Resources during Operation Iraqi Freedom, retired on March 1, 2010.
Speaking on MSNBC, Anderson stated, “Since 6 January, things have changed. Insurrection, I’ve said, ‘Now is the time to step up.’ I mean, what are we going to do? Are we going to wait until the jackboots are marching down the street, and the brown shirts come rolling out, and our kids get enrolled in Trump youth? Is that the time to start getting involved?”

In December 2021, Anderson joined retired U.S. Army Major Paul D. Eaton and retired Army Major General Antonio M. Taguba to write in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/12/17/eaton-taguba-anderson-generals-military/">The Washington Post</a>:
<blockquote>
As we approach the first anniversary of the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/jan-6-insurrection-capitol/?itid=lk_inline_manual_4">deadly insurrection</a> at the U.S. Capitol, we — all of us former senior military officials — are increasingly concerned about the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election and the potential for lethal chaos inside our military, which would put all Americans at severe risk. In short: We are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time.
</blockquote>
He <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEwF0yWvOQU">stated on CNN</a> that the government should “gather intelligence” on military members whom he said belonged to “extremist groups,” saying:
<blockquote>
One of the things that we recommend in our piece is that we gather intelligence about our workforce and make sure that the people in the military are not part of extremist groups. DOD just issued some policy prohibiting active membership but allowing membership nevertheless; we believe that that’s just not going far enough. The FBI has a list of gangs, extremist groups, and I submit to you that if you’re a soldier in the United States Army, you can’t be a member of that gang or that extremist group and also be a member of the United States military. &#8230;
We need to start thinking now about what things we can do to make sure that we’re prepared for 2024, because we know that the bad guys, the Oathkeepers and the Proud Boys, they’re out there planning right now.

2 Days After Assassination Attempt, MSNBC Guest Warns Trump’s Re-Election Will Create Nazi Society

Trump Derangement Syndrome

Two-time failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton responded to the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend by demanding that journalists &#8220;have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.&#8221;
Clinton made the remarks after authorities in Florida arrested 58-year-old Ryan Routh — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alleged-would-be-assassin-was-democrat-donor-with-criminal-record?topStoryPosition=4">a Democrat donor with a criminal history</a> that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/would-be-assassins-gun-had-filed-off-serial-number-was-banned-from-owning-guns">barred</a> him from owning firearms — on Sunday after he hid on Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gunman-targeting-trump-hid-on-golf-course-for-12-hours-before-secret-service-spotted-him-feds">12 hours</a> armed with an AK-17.
&#8220;And I don&#8217;t understand why it&#8217;s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is,&#8221; Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016, lamented to far-Left MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.

&#8220;The late, great journalist, Terry Evans, one time said that journalists should really try to achieve objectivity,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And by that, he said, I mean, they should cover the object. Well, the object in this case, is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world. And stick with it.&#8221;

Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the remarks by posting on X: &#8220;We look forward to every MSM journalist asking Kamala Harris if she denounces this violent rhetoric from Hillary Clinton less than 48 hours after President Trump almost got assassinated (for the second time) because of rhetoric like this.&#8221;
&#8220;This is evil,&#8221; added Trump campaign senior adviser Tim Murtaugh. &#8220;The day after Trump survived a second assassination attempt, Hillary Clinton is out trying to stir up a third one.&#8221;
International security professor Max Abrahms called Clinton&#8217;s remarks an example of &#8220;stochastic terrorism.&#8221;
&#8220;Hillary is the person most responsible for the Russia collusion hoax which did more to discredit America’s main institutions (media, intel agencies, Congressional committees) than anything else,&#8221; he added. &#8220;If not going to be president, she was going to burn America down.&#8221;:
X owner Elon Musk said that Clinton&#8217;s remarks were &#8220;troubling.&#8221;
Senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller posted on X: &#8220;This rhetoric is reprehensible. It is dangerous, reckless, vile, demented and unhinged.&#8221;
