Here's How You Know Kamala's Fox News Interview Was an Absolute Bloodbath

What a nightmare of an interview! Three things were confirmed during this shambolic sit-down with Fox News’ Bret Baier: Kamala is unqualified, incapable of grasping the issues, and still dances with her 2020 demons. One of the criticisms of Harris during her failed 2020 campaign and vice presidency is that she criticizes staff and often ignores their briefings and memos, which would likely blunt the chances of her coming off as a total ignoramus. 

This interview aimed to use one of the nation’s most-watched news networks to attack Donald Trump. She couldn’t do that well. The whole thing was an exercise in how not to answer questions for 30 minutes. Kudos to Baier and Fox News, who asked fair questions and showed them unedited, unlike what CBS News did to their 60 Minutes interview with the vice president. 

Kamala was glib on immigration, using taxpayer monies to fund genital mutilation surgeries for transgender illegal aliens, and flopped completely on how she’d be different than Joe Biden. 

The last question exposes Harris the most, and it’s on a topic that isn’t contentious: How will she be different from Joe Biden? How can she say ‘turn the page’ when she’s been vice president for over three years and when 79 percent of voters think this administration has placed the nation in the wrong direction? 

Her response: “And Donald Trump has been running for office.” You can see how shallow and vapid Kamala is without a script. That’s a problem, especially if this is a Situation Room crisis. There’s no good pivot because she dragged her feet in coming up with one. She also lacks the intelligence to cobble something coherent together. During multiple interviews with friendly hosts, they asked her the same thing, and she floundered. She knows this question is coming and still sets herself on fire. 

All she can give is a pathetic, ‘I won’t be like Biden’ assurance, which is as believable as her time working for McDonald’s. 

Why did Kamala do this? She must be a major party nominee in the campaign's final weeks. The problem is that she’s abjectly terrible in all phases of a political campaign. We know she’s a prosecutor. It doesn’t do much when you’ve let tens of millions of illegals into the country, lady. Enough with your fetish about the border bill—it wasn’t going to solve the issue in a meaningful way, and your inability to flesh out the details is also damning. Some Republicans co-signed it, so she thinks it’s some life jacket. It’s not. Not when most Hispanics now favor mass deportations because the immigration issue has gone off the rails. 

On Iran, a topic highly salient due to a regional war likely to break out between the Islamic Republic and Israel, Harris again offered up word salad or nothing at all to explain how she’d counter this growing threat in the Middle East. It’s not that Baier was tough. He merely asked rudimentary questions based on Harris’ record, and she crumbled. 

The scary part is that there will still be enough idiots who vote for her, making election night a taut affair. It’s still a close race, but there are a lot of positive developments for Trump and the Republicans. Last, here's how you truly know the interview was a mess--Kamala's staff got caught waving the white flag of surrender.

Keep fighting, however.

A Shift in the Race

By Byron York | Townhall.com

A few days ago, there was a report that the Harris campaign is in trouble and the Trump campaign is "extremely bullish" on former President Donald Trump's chances to win the presidency. The reporter, former ABC News journalist Mark Halperin, said his account is based on "robust private polling" and talks with sources on both sides. "She's in a lot of trouble," Halperin said of Vice President Kamala Harris. "Pennsylvania is tough for her right now. ... Wisconsin and Michigan are looking worse for Harris than before. ... The conversations I'm having with Trump people and Democrats with data are extremely bullish on Trump's chances in the last 48 hours. Extremely bullish."

Not long after, Trump himself released the results of the campaign's most recent swing-state polling. It showed Trump ahead in every state, although by small margins: up by 3 points in Arizona, by 5 in Georgia, by 1 in Michigan, by 3 in Nevada, by 1 in North Carolina, by 1 in Pennsylvania and by 1 in Wisconsin.

Meanwhile, nationally, Trump appears to be rising, and Harris falling. A new NBC News poll showed Trump actually ahead of Harris by a single point, 47% to 46%, in a matchup in which fringe candidates are included in the field, and tied, 48% to 48%, in a one-on-one matchup. Compare those to the last NBC News poll, in September, which showed Harris leading Trump, 49% to 44%.

Trump has been "bolstered by Republicans coming back home to support him after last month's rough debate and a subsequent polling deficit, as well as by a favorable assessment of Trump's term as president," NBC News concluded. On the other side, the survey showed "Harris' popularity declining compared to a month ago, after she got a big summertime boost."

At the same time as Trump's rise have come reports about growing concerns inside the Harris campaign. A representative account was CNN's "Democrats grow anxious as Election Day nears," which reported that "Democrats are increasingly anxious over Harris' fate" and "there is a growing sense that her campaign is stuck in the mud." Several other reports offered variations on that theme.

Amid all this, Trump's top campaign management released a memo Sunday morning. Chris LaCivita, Susie Wiles and Tony Fabrizio argued that Harris experienced a "joy ride" of rising acceptance and support in late July after a secretive group of Democratic power brokers pushed President Joe Biden out of the race and Harris quickly replaced him. But after the joy ride, they said, nothing much has happened.

"According to our internal data, from the end of July through Labor Day, Harris largely treaded water," the trio wrote. "She made no real gains in her image or her ballot standing against President Trump." And then, after Labor Day, Harris actually slipped a bit against Trump despite spending $241 million in advertising in that period -- more than twice what Trump spent. "When you compare the state of the race on the day after Labor Day to now, what you see will be eye-opening and likely the reason many smart operatives on the other side are wringing their hands over the current state of the race," LaCivita, Wiles and Fabrizio concluded.

The bottom line, the three argued, is that despite talk about Harris' momentum at various times in the race, she really hasn't had any momentum after that period in July when everything was going her way. And now, with the election three weeks away, she's struggling.

Of course, there has been Democratic pushback, both against the party's in-house worriers, known as "bed-wetters," and against the Trump team. But the Trump memo's framing of what has happened since the big Biden-Harris switch suggests we need a closer look at what has happened in the race so far.

So here is a theory: The normal resting state of the race is for Trump to be a little ahead. But Harris has enjoyed three big bumps since becoming the Democratic candidate, and each of them has made the race trend her way before fading. The first bump, and biggest by far, was when Biden pulled out of the race. The second, and second biggest, was the Democratic convention. And the third was the Sept. 10 debate between Harris and Trump.

When Biden dropped out on July 21, Democrats were elated and Harris enjoyed the sugar high to end all sugar highs -- or the joy ride, as the Trump people say. Her standing went up in the polls, her personal favorability ratings went up, and the race, in which Trump had long led Biden, seemed to be turned upside down. All this was encouraged by celebratory media coverage, of course.

Then, just when it seemed the sugar high might finally be wearing off, came the Democratic National Convention, beginning on Aug. 19. Harris got another week of celebratory coverage, and the joy ride started back up. And then it seemed the joy ride was slowing down once again just before the debate took place on Sept. 10. The short version is that Trump had a bad debate. Harris did not have a particularly good debate, but it was better than Trump's, giving her a net benefit. The joy ride started up again.

Now, though, it is slowing down one more time. And this time, there are no scheduled events in the future -- no convention, no debates, no nothing -- which might start the Harris joy ride rolling one last time. Of course, some unforeseen thing could happen that gives Harris a new bump. But it might not. And if there is no new bump and the race is in its normal resting state on Election Day, then there is a good chance Trump will win.

All this might be wrong. Remember that. A new trend could be starting at this very moment that we don't recognize. But right now, at least, the race appears to have shifted a bit in Trump's direction, raising the possibility that without some new development to restart the joy ride, Harris could be in deepening trouble for the next three weeks.

Charlamagne tha God says young Black man predicted Trump's podcast appearance will get him elected

'The interview was fire, bro, I don’t know what to tell you' Andrew Schulz said of his 'Flagrant' Trump interview

Charlamagne Tha God revealed on Friday that an anonymous source told him that former President Trump's appearance on a recent podcast was going to get him elected.

A key component of Trump’s media strategy this election has been doing interviews on podcasts to appeal to young male voters. One appearance that made numerous headlines was Trump’s interview on the "Flagrant" podcast, hosted by comedian Andrew Schulz, last week.

"Breakfast Club" radio show co-host Charlamagne spoke candidly with Schulz afterward on their shared "Brilliant Idiots" podcast, saying he heard one response so significant he had to keep the person’s name secret. 

"A young, Black man, 20-something years old, I’m not gonna say his name. I should say his name… He comes to me this morning, he turns to me, he goes, ‘Flagrant is gonna get Trump elected,’" Charlamagne said.

Schulz burst out laughing, "The interview was fire, bro, I don’t know what to tell you."

Charlamagne and Schulz went on to discuss how Trump’s off-the-cuff humor is a stark contrast with Vice President Kamala Harris, who Schulz argued is afraid of losing the advantage she believes she has.

"There’s nothing about the poll numbers that we’re seeing right now that should make anybody feel like she’s got this," Charlamagne said, and when a comparison was made to Hillary in 2016 he replied, "I keep telling people this campaign feels more Hillary-ish than it does Obama-ish- than Obama ’08-ish."

During the interview on "Flagrant," Trump had the hosts in stitches numerous times with his irreverent humor, such as when he joked that Biden has one advantage over him.

"He has one ability that I don't have — he sleeps," Trump said. "He can sleep! This guy goes on a beach, and he lays down on one of those 6-ounce [chairs]. They weigh 6 ounces, and he can’t lift it. They're meant for children, young people, and old people to lift. They’re aluminum, you know, hollow aluminum, they weigh very little, and he can't lift."

He later went on to joke, "Somebody convinced him he looks good in a bathing suit, and when you’re 82, typically bathing suits aren’t gonna make you look great."

On The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne recently critiqued the Harris-Walz campaign’s messaging tactics, arguing that their commentary about global politics seems "very out of touch to what’s going on right here in America."

This, he said, is a stark difference from Trump and his running-mate JD Vance, who are "talking about what’s happening here at home and saying things like ‘America First’ and ‘Make America Great Again,’ that messaging sometimes resonates a lot more." 

He then corrected himself and said, "Not sometimes, it does resonate a lot more."

BREAKING: Riverside County Sheriff's Press Conference on Man Arrested Outside Trump Coachella Rally.

By Becca Lower | RedState.com

As we wrote earlier on Sunday, a man was arrested outside former President Donald Trump's Saturday rally in Coachella, California, when he failed to provide proper identification. That raised a red flag. When local police officials searched his car, they found several weapons and ammunition, as the NY Post reported:

A third assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump was thwarted at the last minute Saturday when local cops stopped a man armed with guns and fake passes outside his rally at Coachella Valley, the local sheriff said.

The suspect was caught about a mile from the rally venue with a phony-entry pass, according to police. He was also carrying a loaded shotgun, handgun and high capacity magazine.

“We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said.

The suspect, identified as Vem Miller, was intercepted by police at a checkpoint about a half-mile from the rally entrance. He was carrying a fake phony [sic] press and VIP passes.

The report continued:

Miller is believed to be a member of a rightwing anti-government organization, according to Bianco, and was plotting to kill Trump.

He has a UCLA Masters degree, and in 2022 ran for Nevada State assembly, the newspaper reported.

Miller was booked for possessing a loaded firearm and a high capacity magazine — and was released after posting $5,000 bail, police records show.

---

As the Post added in an updated version of its story (linked above)

However, law enforcement sources told The Post that the FBI does not believe this was an assassination attempt, and the former president’s life was never in danger.

 Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco addressed the media just after 3:00 p.m. PST on Sunday. He explained that there were two perimeters outside the event: an inside and an outside perimeter. Past those is the actual entrance to the rally, where the Secret Service takes over screening participants.

The inside perimeter, where the man was stopped, was completely controlled by the Sheriff's office. He said they believe the man's name is Vem Miller, with a birthdate of Oct. 26, 1974. That was the information he gave law enforcement, and how he was booked.

Bianco said that not only did the deputy notice that the vehicle was in disarray, but the license plate was fake. The officer also found several passports with different names on them inside the car. He said the IDs and the license plate were an indication to law enforcement that the suspect was part of a sovereign citizens fringe group. The car belongs to Miller, but was not officially registered.

The sheriff said that he didn't remember saying that a third assassination attempt was thwarted, but that he wouldn't be surprised if he did. He put it down to the advance preparation his office made before the rally, and that he's glad they didn't have to shoot the suspect.

Bianco chastised one reporter's question, calling it "common sense and reason" to consider someone trying to enter a Trump rally with loaded guns and improper ID as a potential threat to the former president, who has already survived two assassination attempts.

He did confirm something that the man told the media after he posted bail, that someone gave him a pass. The sheriff said later in the press conference that it wasn't clear whether the pass was a physical pass. Regardless, rally participants must do their own registration for events; they can't just be given a pass, Bianco said.

He also confirmed that the high-capacity magazine found in the search was for the handgun.

Bianco said that his office has basically completed its investigation, which was on the weapons, and any other charges (if there are more) would be handled on the federal level. The investigation is continuing among his office, the FBI, and Secret Service.

Social media goes into meltdown as Saturday Night Live destroys Kamala Harris: 'It's over. The Democrats have lost SNL'

By Sonya Gugliara | Dailymail.Com

Maya Rudolph played Kamala Harris as Saturday Night Live viewers believe the show is 'destroying' the candidate with their sketches 

Social media has gone into a meltdown following last night's Saturday Night Live skits about Kamala Harris - with many viewers saying the mockery is bad news for the Democratic candidate. 

Famously played by Maya Rudolph, Harris' character has been hurdled into the spotlight on the late-night show as the November election approaches - and fans have had a lot to say about her portrayal. 

On last night's episode, SNL poked fun at Harris on a Family Feud-style skit - making fun of her trademark mannerisms, such as her signature 'word salad.'

Robby Starbuck wrote on X: 'When SNL is doing skits like this, you know that they think Kamala’s cooked. Mood shifted. 

'I see zero on the ground excitement for her. The whole administration is a joke to normal people. A sick, sad, long joke that we’re ready to be done with!'

'You know it’s over when the Democrats have lost SNL. They just destroyed Kamala Harris,' an X post from columnist Dustin Grage reads. 

Another person responded to the clip: 'Wow. They can’t deny the obvious. Glad they are making fun of how stupid these people sound.'

And a fourth viewer said: 'This is one of the most hilarious and truthful skits I have ever seen? Is SNL throwing Biden and Kamala under the bus ? Make comedy great again!'

While another comedy lover wrote: 'SNL went after Kamala Harris again. The Left will not like this at all.'

Columnist Dustin Grage said SNL 'destroyed' Harris in a Family Feud-themed act 

One social media user said about the show: 'Even SNL couldn’t resist taking a swing at Kamala Harris—now you know things are bad!'

Saturday night's 'Cold Open' was set up as a Family Feud episode featuring the key players of both political parties. 

Harris went head-to-head with Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, in a clip that grabbed the attention of millions of viewers.

When Steve Harvey, depicted by Kenan Thompson, asked the players to name something they keep in their glove compartment, Harris hit the red buzzer.

The Harris character started her speech with the vice president's token phrase of late: 'I raised in a middle class family.' The SNL crowd erupted in laughter. 

She went on a long-winded answer about her childhood, but ultimately landed on 'a Glock,' alluding to a 60 Minutes interview where the candidate said she owns a gun and 'if someone breaks in my house, they’re getting shot.'

Tim Waltz, played by Jim Gaffigan, answered the same prompt with some 'white nonsense,' as Kenan's Harvey humorously described the response of 'hot hands, napkins from Runza and gotta have Tums, in case I eat something spicy like tomato.'

Dana Carvey played a confused Biden, who rambled on in noncoherent sentences. 

'Well, well, well. It says volumes SNL are doing real life skits on Kamala & Biden. But where have they been for 4 years,' someone wrote on X. 

Even though some social media users thought this sketch was an attack on Harris, Trump's character was also mocked in the parody. 

At one point Harris proved that the Republican candidate can be manipulated 'simply through flattery.' She then gave him a compliment, to which Trump responded, 'She's got my vote.' 

An act from last week depicting Harris watching the vice presidential debate hinted at Harris' drinking habits, some viewers said 

'It's funnier now that they make fun of the other side too lol', an X user said about SNL, which has been criticized for being liberal-leaning. 

Another said: 'I thought Saturday Night Live was liberal. Didn’t they used to bash Trump all the time?' 

In another satirical bit that viewers believed flamed Harris, Rudolph's character danced at a podium, before introducing Joe Biden with a Jamaican accent - which she has been criticized for jumping in and out of recently.  

'If we win together, we could end the dramala,' she said. 'and the tramala, and go relax in our pajamalas.' 

But others did not see the Kamala-centered jokes as anything more than comedic content. 

One post read: 'Conservatives acting like SNL just started the kamala “but first, something about me” storyline is so funny to me bc they have been doing it since 2019.'

But the overwhelming verdict, according to viewers posting on social media, is that SNL's berating of Harris has signaled a turning point in public opinion.

'Don't underestimate the cultural shift of SNL mocking Kamala It's recognition she is toast & permission to walk away from her & her trainwreck of a campaign,' someone said. 

A sketch from last week depicting Harris and her husband watching the vice presidential debate made people think SNL was hinting at Harris' rumored drinking problem.

Someone wrote on X: 'Kamala is too busy drinking more like what else is new'

'SNL is openly making fun of Kamala Harris's drinking problem and Tim Walz being a Knucklehead. Sure sign that Harris' campaign is in deep trouble,' another said. 

An SNL sketch framed as a Family Feud episode mocked Harris, Tim Waltz, Doug Emhoff and Joe Biden

'OMG SNL couldn't resists making Kamala a drunk and her husband a psychopath than Tim Walz say he's friends with school shooters,' another user chimed in. 

Despite online backlash and criticism from Republicans, Harris has shown she enjoys seeing herself acted out on the show. 

While appearing on The View, she was seen laughing and clapping at Rudolph's portrayal of her. 

'She's so good,' Harris said of the actress-comedian.

Harris campaign designed to attract uninformed voters

By William Haupt III | The Center Square contributor

The White House / Facebook

“The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all." – John F. Kennedy

One week after the fatal debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, Democrats jumped on the opportunity to complete the progressive takeover of our republican democracy. With a treasure trove of big business and union cash, along with special interest identify groups and a gaggle of leftist operatives, they lit the fuse on a long-awaited campaign to elect a woman president.

Most American voters were dismayed that unqualified Kamala Harris was chosen to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. Harris had proven she could never win a traditional party nomination. With no concern for voters, the left chose Harris with all her failures and her shaky past.

After the Democratic National Convention, leftist party delegates walked the streets of Chicago in idyllic weather with a spring in their step, thrilled that their party had chosen a progressive Black woman as a candidate. At the convention, they had praised Harris as “a president of joy and elation" and said she'd defeat Donald Trump’s “politics of darkness” as she fiercely attacked Trump.

Since her nomination, media and the DNC have staged campaign events for Harris that rival any evangelical-revival big-tent show! People sing, dance and jump for joy with every word Harris giggles. Harris never mentions policies but freely spiels vitriolic hate speech about Trump.

"If Donald Trump is elected, he will try to tear up the U.S. Constitution.'' – Kamala Harris

While the DNC has reinvented Harris to hide her radical past, they can't rewrite history. Too many prominent leftists are aware Harris would have never won a primary. Former first lady Michelle Obama told the crowd, “No matter how good we feel tonight, or tomorrow, or the next day, this is going to be an uphill battle.” Democrat David Axelrod added: "We are seeing irrational exuberance that will end sometime after Labor Day. Kamala Harris must be prepared to reveal her policies."

Harris has only survived by remaining undefined in the minds of voters. Her anonymity is both a blessing and a curse. Harris won't reveal her policies or give interviews that could damage and disrupt her moderate facade that the liberal media has sold to uninformed voters and the Trump haters.

Thomas Jefferson told us, "No nation can be both free and ignorant." For years, Democrats have depended on uninformed voters to remain in office. This has enabled them to grow government and win elections from coast to coast by dividing voters against each other, i.e., the rich against the poor and middle class. They win elections keeping voters uninformed promising to punish the rich!

"The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office." – Will Rogers

Contrary to populist belief, candidates like Barack Obama and Kamala Harris are not guaranteed victories because identity voters will flock to the polls to elect them. That is an urban myth. It's not only their color but the Democratic party and the liberal media that get them elected.

If we look at Black GOP candidates and compare their number of victories to leftist Blacks, five times more liberal Blacks are elected than Black Republicans.

Archived Media Research Center records reveal U.S. newsrooms are anything but diverse. They found reporters are far more liberal than average Americans. The majority vote Democrat. Their view on abortion and gay rights are far left of most Americans. They endorse expanding welfare, gun control, regulation and support free health-care benefits for everyone including illegal aliens.

MRC data shows America's recognition of liberal media’s bias has grown exponentially during the past few decades, but few voters seek the truth because of party loyalty. They knowingly vote for inferior candidates even if it is not in their best interests. Democrats need uninformed voters to win.

Democrats found running identity candidates regardless of their qualifications lets them use race as a weapon to win at all costs. Since liberal media and Democrats are allied coast to coast, they turn the worst candidates into winners for their benefit at the expense of our security and liberty.

Voters will never make a wise decision this election unless they do their homework. Harris flipped on many policies, from fracking, price and rent controls, and socialized medicine, to corporate greed and punishing the rich. Liberal media has turned Bay area progressive Harris, whose campaign is based on "joy, hope and feel good vibes" into a moderate centrist – despite her checkered past.

Democrats depend on political ignorance to elect "shill candidates" to puppeteer party issues for special interests that better-informed voters would reject. Uninformed voters elect candidates for the wrong reasons, and when they realize this, Democrats blame Republicans for their failures.

Americans have lived with record high inflation for four years under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They saw millions of buyers priced out of the home market. They lived with retail shortages and sky high prices and watched the cost of living increase $11,434 per year, according to the recent CPI index. They also saw America empower Taliban terrorists with a disastrous retreat in Afghanistan.

Americans have buyers' remorse for the failed economic and foreign policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. There is no question America wants new leadership. Democrats had a chance to nominate a new team this election to repair the irreparable damage done to our nation. Yet they chose to bypass the will of the people and allowed beltway operatives to choose Kamala Harris to run as a replacement for Joe Biden. And she has promised to continue his failed policies if elected.

Arbitrarily eliminating delegates from nominating a candidate denies citizens their voice in choosing a candidate. Democrats forced voters to accept four more years of inferior leadership although they had clearly expressed a desire for change. Shame on them for hand picking someone who'd been elected by uninformed voters four years ago. This is not only undemocratic, it is unconstitutional.

Since the power to vote is the power to govern, concerned citizens are always informed voters. In a representative democracy, informed voters are aware that voting for the right candidate at all levels of government assures them they will be governed by qualified leaders in a manner they deserve.

“Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves, and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
