The? 27? Minute? Interview?

Posted on August 31, 2024 by puckman4

“I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed.” Vice President Kamala Harris. As she flip-flops, the country is screwed!

The old adage the “You can’t judge a book by its cover,” certainly applies in Democratic Presidential candidate VPOTUS Kamala Harris’ first kind of public interview. During the course of this controlled engagement with CNN’s Democratic shill Dana Bash, which was conducted in Savannah, Georgia, you can make an easy buck by taking bets that Harris and vice presidential candidate Governor Tim Walz(D-MINN) most likely got a peak at the questions ahead of time, or even contributed to writing the questions. Sounds awfully familiar to the schenanigans pulled off by former CNN reporter, and former DNC Chair, Donna Brazile, when she tried rig to the 2016 presidential debates between former President Donald John Trump and the money laundering, treasonous scoundrel Hillary Clinton, who despite cheating on many fronts during the election rightly got stomped…big time. Are we seeing an instant replay because the radical, progressive left got real good at cheating during elections? See 2020?

Since is was the Democratic candidate’s first interview, ran from anywhere from 18 to 27 minutes, depending on who’s reporting it the story. The last four Trump interviews: Dr. Phil-57 minutes; Theo Von- 57 minutes; Elon Musk-2 hours & 3 minutes and Shawn Ryan-1 hour & 11 minutes. This was her first in 40+ days and as I said, edited with a chaperone.

As for the alleged “interview” with Harris-Walz on CNN: Was it live? No! Did Bash pander for answers with softball questions? You bet!! Will the interview be recorded and edited? Absolutely! Will Bash offer challenging questions focusing on Harris’ flip-flopping regarding her now favorable stance towards fracking, flipped on defunding the police or flipped on building the border wall after she persisted to rip former President Donald John Trump? To her credit, Bash actually did, but Harris had to have known the questions ahead of time. Harris stated that her prosecutorial record as California’s attorney general indicated that she has cared for a long time about border security! Her contrived and calculated answers will influence those voters who will listen to any words countering Trump! And why did Harris do the interview in tag-team fashion? Because she’s incompetent on facts having offered no specifics, has difficulty doing one on one interviews, needs her friend the teleprompter and to prevent her cackling, with Walz running interference!

Harris attempted to defended her positions and policies that have flip-flopped when asked if voters will know what they’re getting. The Republicans have denounced and condemned her spinning on immigration, decriminalizing illegal border crossings, single payer healthcare with eliminating private health insurance, defunding the police, going after big profit corporations, addressing the domestic energy issue with her promise to ban fracking for oil and natural gas, while banning the sale of combustion engine cars by 2035. She went down a litany of line items she would address on Day One. And most of the so-called “Day One” policies she is proposing must be approved by The Congress. Recall that Biden signed 17 executive actions on his first day in office in 2021, including halting the construction of former President Donald John Trump’s US-Mexico border wall, which she now supports..for now, along with the torpedoing of the domestic energy sector, and as previously cited, Harris has flipped on fracking…for now.

Harris defended her positions when Bash made inquiries as to how voters will know what they’re getting after being called out by Republicans and former President Donald John Trump. The best example of this was Harris’ turnaround regarding the question on taxing or not taxing workers’ tips. During a rally in Las Vegas, former President Donald John Trump made a campaign promise to eliminate taxes on tips. As president of The Congress, Harris voted in 2022 to pass legislation that allowed the IRS to track down workers’ tips so that they could be taxed. So, on August 7, 2022, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act that provided $80 billion in additional funding to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), who then licked their chops and got to investigating workers in the service industry’s reporting of tips so that they could be taxed. DementiaJoe’s White House also bragged about that the Inflation Reduction Act which “provided $80 billion in additional funding to the IRS.” In February 2023, the IRS released a proposed revenue procedure known as the Service Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (SITCA) program. Let’s not toss away the fact that the IRA was ratified to focus on the Green New Deal.

When it was Trump’s idea, CBS News reported on it from the perspective of how much revenue it’ll deprive the Federal government of, as if they have a successful track record when it comes to spending taxpayer money. When Harris copied the idea, CBS presented it as her idea, with no criticism of it offered. 

Furthermore, the Harris campaign announced that the Democratic presidential nominee would push for “the first-ever Federal ban on price gouging on food and energy groceries” if she is elected in November. She would also deputize the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to launch investigations into any companies that flout the centrally planned pricing regulations. But who is going to determine whether the prices are reasonable or not? The Federal Trade Commission? The administration? Furthermore, the proposals wouldn’t come close to addressing the roughly 20% cumulative inflation rate since Harris assumed office in January 2021, even as she and Walz claim their administration would cut costs and “keep inflation in check.” Let’s recall that Harris was a member of the administration that drove inflation rates through the roof. And she’s going to address it now? What about the last 3.5 years? What has she done?

Harris is proposing that the government will regulate pricing in the food industry as a means to eliminate price gouging. Most suppliers are family owned dairies, farms and ranches that are generational. Yes, prices have gone up due to the rising cost of fuel for trucks and tractors (thanks to Biden-Harris administration killing the domestic oil industry), delivery costs have spiked from approximately $6,500.00 to $8,000, feed costs spiked due to the Ukraine-Russian war, again thanks to the Biden-Harris declaration of war on energy, property insurance has risen and of course, labor costs, which takes out a large chunk of a budget. Price increases are passed onto the consumer. Inflation? That’s on the Biden-Harris administration from January, 2021, when the inflation rate was 1.3% and rose to 9.4%. And now Harris is addressing inflation 3.5 years later? Harris couldn’t articulate a particular reason why she flip-flopped on fracking. She said that climate change is real and that the current administration is doing a good job of hitting climate goals, so she won’t do it. HUH?

Additionally, throughout the interview Harris bragged how well the Biden-Harris “fixed” the economy, when inflation, interest rates and supply chain shortages were their doing…not Trump’s. She could not offer anything specific in regards to her policies to take on the economy. By offering price control and controlling price gouging, along with giving $25K to people for the purchase of a new home, Harris is proposing socialist style policies, which will result in hyperinflation, shortages and rationing. Just picture when people were lined up to purchase a loaf of bread or go on a soup line when the US dollar was essentially worthless during the Great Depression. Or in pre-WWII Weimar Republic (Germany)when the Reichmark was also worthless.

When asked about Medicare negotiating a $35.00 cap on insulin, Harris stated once again that she was proud of the IRA. As a diabetic, the so-called $35.00 cap doesn’t work chronologically or through usage. If it’s $35.00, one pen doesn’t last the month. Furthermore, I called Medicare and two Biden supporting big pharma companies and they couldn’t/wouldn’t clarify whether the so-called $35.00 cap cover a one pen prescription or the standard three pen prescription. So, if the script is three pens, the price is $105.00 and up. A case in point is that I use Humalog and the script is three pens for $105.00…not the so-called $35.00. Also, I use Ozempic and that’s not covered because it’s relatively new and an insulin synthetic…in other words not covered and costs me $645.00 for three months or $215.00/month…NOT $35.00. Don’t forget that President Donald John Trump wanted to get Medicare on board for the $35.00 fee, but was stonewalled by big pharma as they developed the vaccine for the Wuhan Covid-19 pandemic and they funneled campaign money to the Biden campaign. And lastly, the alleged $35.00 prescription costs were supposed to start at the end of 2023. One more thing, Biden promised another cap on medical expenses for seniors on Medicare. What he didn’t say was that this so-called cap starts in 2025 or 2027.

Moreover, Harris went on: “My value around what we need to do to secure our border, that value has not changed.” Changed? Value? What value? Changed from what? She did nothing whether as the “Border Czar” or not. During an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, Harris maintained that she had visited the southern border. As Holt actually keep pushing, she buckled by saying that she had not been to Europe either. Harris’ original job was to determine the “root causes” of the incursion of illegal aliens illegally crossing the southern border. She was Biden’s money mule as billions were given to countries in the Northern Triangle and Mexico. Did the caravans stop? Nope! Additionally, we do know that Harris supports funding sanctuary cities, without citing the stress and strain on municipal budgets and the rise in crime that is not adequately addressed by woke district attorneys and state attorneys general. She then said it was actually former President Donald John Trump who was against border security, while the Trump administration had the lowest numbers, and that she and Biden were all for the Senate border bill that failed to pass in February. That bill would have done little stop the flow of illegal aliens and was largely stuffed with funding for the war in Ukraine.

“I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed,” Harris told Bash. The decision for the Harris-Walz interview was quickly ripped by those who accused the Democratic presidential nominee of using Walz as a shield as she braces to defend her radical, progressive liberal record and policies after weeks of avoiding such an exchange. But the vice president is absolutely incapable of speaking without a script or teleprompter…sounds familiar? This “interview” is 42+ days after Harris’ coronation!

Throughout the course of her campaign, Harris has maintained that she was one hellacious prosecutor as a district attorney and California’s attorney general. To that end, ABC News reported that she enhanced her record as a prosecutor during her first campaign for public office. While running for San Francisco district attorney in 2003, Harris’ campaign sent out mailers claiming she had “thirteen years of courtroom experience” with a “long track record of being an outstanding public prosecutor.””Kamala has tried hundreds of serious and violent felonies, including homicide, rape, and child sexual assault cases,” stated the mailer. A veteran litigator in San Francisco told ABC News that Harris’ claim she had “tried” hundreds of cases was misleading. “When you say you tried cases, that means you went to court either with a court trial or a jury trial,” the litigator told the outlet. After ABC News asked the Harris campaign about the candidate’s prosecutorial experience before she became DA, a spokesperson used slightly different language to describe her record, saying that Harris had been “involved in” hundreds of cases. Involved falls a bit short of prosecuting cases. And just look remember how Harris carried on like her hair was on fire during Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate ratification…along with Senator Corey “Spartacus” Booker (D-NJ)!

Harris made the claim of having spent two terms as the attorney general of California prosecuting transnational criminal organizations, violations of American laws regarding the passage, illegal passage, of guns, drugs and human beings across our border. Apparently Harris was not overly effective.

One area that was avoided like the plague, is the loved ones of school shooting victims having reacted to a 2019 clip of Harris, when she was running for the White House, declaring her support of the removal of police officers from schools in an effort to “demilitarize” campuses. Her comments were re-exposed by Fox News: “What we need to do about … demilitarizing our schools and taking police officers out of schools. We need to deal with the reality and speak the truth about the inequities around school discipline. Where in particular, Black and Brown boys are being expelled and or suspended as young as, I’ve seen, as young as in elementary school,” Harris said in 2019 in South Carolina, when she served as a California senator. As usual, a radical, progressive employing identity politics and failing to take into account the violence going on in the nation’s schools. And as a retired educational administrator who handled school discipline and suspensions, I speak from experience that it’s imperative to have a police officer in your building or within a stone’s throw, especially when a weapon is involved, such as a ten inch steak knife. And I am being specific! And don’t forget that the radical, progressive Democrats don’t send their kids to public school.

When the topic of the Israel-Hamas war was broached, Harris did not immediately answer Bash’s first questions about what she would do differently on Israel compared to Biden. When Bash pressed, asking whether Harris would change U.S. policy around sending arms to Israel, as many pro-Palestinian protesters push, Harris said, “No,” emphasizing that her priority is ending the war through a ceasefire deal that frees the hostages. But earlier in her campaign, Harris, under pressure from the radical, socialist progressive left and the anti-Israel, anti-American and anti-Semitic component of the Democratic Party, Harris stated that she would support an Israeli weapons embargo and was sympathetic to the pro-Hamas protestors on the college campuses and throughout the US. So, alterations once again.

During the course of the interview, Dash turned her attention to Walz and said that the country is getting to know him. Harris, who is now the face of the Democratic Party, had chosen an ardent socialist in Walz, who professes an anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Capitalist agenda, with Islamic Minnesota connections as her running mate. He also supports defunding law enforcement, and permitted Minneapolis to burn for four days during the 2020 riots. This is the same Harris who was lecturing the country on morality and justice. Yet, here she is, standing by a man who funds an organization tied to anti-Semitism and terrorism. Let’s not forget that Walz resigned from the Minnesota National Guard just a few months before his unit was deployed to Iraq. Walz honorably served in the National Guard for 24 years, but what has trashed that record is his lying about carrying a weapon of war and being deployed into a combat zone. It never happened. Old videos and local newspaper articles clearly show Walz lied about his military record to fatten his political profile, similar to Senator Richard Blumenthal(D-CN) and his Vietnam War service that never happened. Walz lied about his combat experience and is guilty of stolen valor and cowardice. He was riding a desk as a community affairs officer. And there are numerous witnesses to what he did, or did not do. At the end of the CNN interview Walz looked more prepared for the job as POTUS than Harris, who had trouble dealing with Dash. If Harris could not handle with this semi-informal interview, what will happen to her facing a stoked Trump during however many debates are agreed upon.

The CNN interview? Interview…Kind of weak in this case. I don’t think that we will see a presser of any kind until after election day. Due to the fact that she lacks the ability to speak extemporaneously, the only means to conduct a presser would be to mirror those of DementiaJoe…prepared questions…a minimum amount of reporters chosen ahead of time…prepared answers to those questions, with a time framed to limit exposure, with the definite possibility of a faux pas, and then turn and leave. And why was the interview shown on the getaway day for the Labor Day weekend? A smaller viewing audience, which CNN has just the same1

In regards to the September 10 debate, ABC had rejected Harris’ request to change the rules in her upcoming debate with former President Donald John Trump. Harris attempted to request ABC News to have unmuted microphones, a rule the Biden campaign insisted CNN employ in Biden’s debate against Trump, who performed very well in his June debate under the muted mic rule, and it appears the Harris campaign felt they would have an advantage if the mics were unmuted. Other rules that will be in place at the debate in September will be a no-audience rule, no notes and no props. And let’s keep Donna Brazile away from the studio.

Don’t forget that both Harris and Walz knew what questions would be asked, so they had the time to prepare their answers. And during the interview Harris was, at times, failing to making eye contact with Bash and bobbling her head at times, like searching for the answer in a file cabinet. So, be forewarned, that if Kamala Harris wins the White House, she will implement all the radical, socialist progressive policies that she has proposed during her career, while her campaign attempting to portray herself as a moderate! Didn’t Joe Biden make the claim that he was a moderate, but clearly displayed that he was there to placate the radical, socialist progressives! Old habits die hard! Harris kind of talked without making any noise.

So, at the end of the interview the Democratic candidate confirmed, despite making the claim that she altered her policies, Harris is still left of Komrade Bernie. To that end, are we supposed to believe the possibility that Harris’ policy positions have largely changed in just a few years, while her beliefs remain immobile. Are those left-wing, populist, progressive policies? Decide for yourself!
