IS
>> Bill: YOU WANT YOUR VICE
PRESIDENT TO BE READY TO LEAD.
SHE CAN’T LEAD HER OWN OFFICE.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT SHE REALLY
WAS ELEVATED ABOVE HER ABILITY.
SHE WAS CHOSEN BY JOE BIDEN NOT
BECAUSE OF HER QUALITY OF HER
WORK OR HER INTELLECT.
IT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS A WOMAN
AND SHE WAS A WOMAN OF COLOR
AND THAT PUTS HER IN A BAD
POSITION AND IT PUTS AMERICA IN
A TERRIBLE POSITION.
>> Harris: THAT’S "NEW YORK
POST" COLUMNIST MIRANDA DEVINE
GETTING INTO IT OVER VICE
PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AMID
REPORTS OF A TOXIC WORK
ENVIRONMENT AND EXODUS OF HER
STAFF.
BUT AT LEAST ONE TOP AIDE IS
INSISTING NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
CRITICS STILL ROASTING THE VICE
PRESIDENT’S DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR
OPERATIONS AFTER HE HAVE
TWEETED THIS.
HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES HIS JOB.
ONE REPLY BLINK TWICE IF YOU
NEED HELP.
WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY JEN
PSAKI ASKED IF SOMEBODY PUT HIM
UP TO DO THAT.
>> I’M NOT AWARE OF ANY ASKS
FOR A POSITIVE TWEET OR
SPECIFIC TWEET.
I WOULD POINT YOU TO THE VICE
PRESIDENT’S OFFICE.
BUT I WORK WITH A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE IN THE VICE PRESIDENT’S
OFFICE WHO CERTAINLY ARE
LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING
THEIR JOBS.
>> Harris: FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR
JOE CONCHA IN "FOCUS" NOW.
THIS ISN’T JUST A BIT OF PALACE
INTRIGUE.
TALKING WITH LAWMAKERS SAYING
LOOK, THIS MAY BE A FORECAST OF
WHAT’S TO COME WITHIN THAT
PARTY AS FAR AS LEADERSHIP.
WE NEED TO KNOW IF PEOPLE CAN
DO THE JOB.
>> GREAT POINT, HARRIS.
YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, RIGHT?
FORGET ABOUT THE PALACE
INTRIGUE, IT IS CLEAR TO SEE
WHY KAMALA HARRIS’S OFFICE IS
IN TURMOIL.
POLLING AT 28%.
RARELY SPEAKS TO THE PRESS.
AS MANY DEMOCRATS WILL TELL YOU
SHE HAS A LIKEABILITY AND
AUTHENTICITY PROBLEM.
WHEN ASKED IN A RECENT POLL BY
THE HILL WHO WOULD YOU SUPPORT
IF JOE BIDEN DOESN’T SEEK A
SECOND TERM?
KAMALA HARRIS LOCKED IN AT 13%
SUPPORTING THE IDEA JUST AHEAD
OF MICHELLE OBAMA WHO FINISHED
SECOND WHO SAID SHE HAVE IS NOT
RUNNING AND OFF THE GRID FOR
FIVE YEAR.
THAT’S HOW PLAN B IN 2024 IS
GOING.
YOU KNOW THERE IS TROUBLE WHEN
YOU HAVE TO HAVE STAFFERS LOOK
BEING LIKE THEY’RE IN A HOSTAGE
SITUATION SAYING THEY LOVE
THEIR JOB.
IT IS AN 80 SOMETHING JOE BIDEN
DOESN’T RUN WILL THEY BE OPEN
TO AN OPEN PRIMARY AND START
OVER?
I THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE THE
PLAN IF JOE BIDEN DOESN’T RUN.
SO THAT’S WHERE WE ARE AT THIS
POINT.
AGAIN, WE’RE ONLY 11 MONTHS IN
SINCE THEY TOOK OFFICE.
>> Harris: WE’RE ONLY 11 MONTHS
AWAY FROM THE NEXT GO AROUND OF
ELECTIONS IN MID-TERMS.
CHRIS CUOMO ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY
AND YOU AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THIS, THAT THIS WAS
POSSIBLE, THAT HE IS LEAVING
HIS XM RADIO SHOW AND PLANS TO
SUE CNN FOR A BIG CHUNK OF
CHANGE.
CHRIS CUOMO FACING SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT ACCUSATIONS AS IS
HIS FELLOW ANCHOR, DON LEMON
WHO FACES CLAIMS HE ACTED
INAPPROPRIATELY TOWARD A MAN IN
A BAR ON LONG ISLAND IN 2018.
THAT ACCUSER WENT AFTER THE
NETWORK SAYING QUOTE, THEY ARE
A PREDATOR PROTECTING MACHINE.
THEY SLANDER AND SMEAR VICTIMS
WITH IMPUNITY.
THEY ARE IMPLICIT.
THAT’S WHO THEY ARE.
THIS IS FROM AN ALLEGED VICTIM.
>> SPEAKING OF IF YOU RECALL
MOIL THEY SHOULD BE CALLED THE
CHAOS NEWS NETWORK.
CHRIS CUOMO WHO WASN’T REP
REREMANDED FOR COACHING THOSE
ON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
RECEIVED COVID TESTING BEFORE
EVERYONE ELSE IN NEW YORK
COURTESY OF HIS BROTHER THE GUY
WHO ATTEMPTED TO SMEAR ACCUSERS
AND HE WILL SUE CNN FOR
MILLIONS BECAUSE HE SAYS TOP
BRASS KNEW ABOUT EVERYTHING HE
WAS DOING AND WAS OKAY WITH IT.
BOY, IF THIS GOES TO TRIAL CAN
YOU IMAGINE WHAT THE DISCOVERY
STAGE WILL LOOK LIKE?
YOU GET THE FEELING THERE IS A
PAPER TRAIL HERE, HARRIS,
EMAILS, TEXTS, YOU NAME IT.
THEN YOU HAVE TO YOUR POINT
ANCHOR DON LEMON WHO NOW --
>> Harris: HOLD ON.
YOU MENTIONED A KEY POINT WHEN
I CALL RECEIPTS.
YOU TALKED ABOUT THAT PAPER
TRAIL.
THE DIGITAL TRAIL WITH JUSSIE
SMOLLETT.
DID YOU SEE THIS ONE COMING?
THE INTERSECTION OF JUSSIE
SMOLLETT ON TRIAL RIGHT NOW AND
DON LEMON.
YESTERDAY HE TESTIFIED,
SMOLLETT, THAT HE GOT TEXT
MESSAGES FROM DON LEMON
SUPPOSEDLY RELAYING THAT THE
CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT
DIDN’T BELIEVE SMOLLETT’S
ACCOUNTING OF WHAT HAPPENED.
AND AT THE TIME LEMON TOLD HIS
VIEWERS THE STORY WAS PERSONAL
SINCE THEY WERE ACQUAINTANCES
AND HAD TEXTED AFTER THE
ALLEGED 2019 INCIDENT.
WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS?
>> IT’S LIKE WATCHING THE WHOLE
CUOMO EPISODE NOW REPLAY ITSELF
WITH DON LEMON.
HE TIPPED OFF SOMEBODY WHO WAS
UNDER INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE
CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT NOT
BELIEVING HIS STORY.
THAT PROMPTED SMOLLETT
ACCORDING TO SMOLLETT, FOR
WHATEVER THAT IS WORTH, TO
WITHHOLD EVIDENCE SUCH AS HIS
PHONE AND THOSE RECORDS.
CNN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS NEXT.
THEY HAVEN’T.
THEY DON’T DO THAT UNTIL THEY
HAVE TO.
YOU HAVE TO WONDER, HARRIS,
WHILE ALL THIS IS GOING ON,
WHAT THE TOP SHAREHOLDER OF
LIBERTY MEDIA IS THINKING.
HE IS THE TOP SHAREHOLDER OF
CNN BECAUSE HE RECENTLY SAID
CNN NEEFDS TO GET BACK TO
JOURNALISM AND PRAILSED FOX
NEWS FOR ITS PERFORMANCE IN THE
PROCESS.
HE DID SO ON CNBC.
IST IS ALL CRAZY.
>> Harris: JUST QUICKLY YOUR
LAST THOUGHT ON WHERE THIS GOES
NOW BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, DON
LEMON CAN SAY I WAS TRYING TO
BUDDY UP SO I COULD GET THE
BOOKING OF THIS PERSON FOR AN
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW OR
SOMETHING.
BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
RECEIPTS, WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE
TEXT MESSAGES YOUR LAST WORD.
>> THE PROBLEM IS HE TOLD
SMOLLETT WHAT HE HEARD FROM HIS
SOURCES WITHIN THE CHICAGO
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
IT IS NO LONGER LIKE I’M TRYING
TO HELP A FRIEND.
YOU ARE TRYING TO AFFECT AN
INVESTIGATION.
THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF.
THIS ISN’T THE LAST TIME THIS
IS GOING TO GO AWAY.
I THINK MANY CHANGES WILL BE
MADE AT CNN BOTH IN FRONT OF
THE CAMERA AND BEHIND IT
BECAUSE THIS CANNOT CONTINUE.
PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU HAVE LOST
NEARLY 80% OF YOUR AUDIENCE
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
>> Harris: THAT’S CASH AND THE
