vice president kamala harris is on the
cover of forbes magazine for its 50
over 50 list of successful women she's
been under a lot of fire
over the border crisis but as she told
msnbc
she's had lots of practice tuning out
the critics
like i again tell a lot of people i
mentor
i eat no for breakfast
so have i been told many times during my
career
things from oh you're too young it's not
your turn
they're not ready for you um
no one like you has done it before i've
heard all of those things many times
over
the course of my career but i didn't
listen
so harris coming to you she might have
been told no
a lot of times in her career but she was
given a big old
yes a green light on going to the border
she was given a yes
and she risen to the occasion so i'm
putting up jimmy fayla in my twitter
feed right after the show
and people can just watch him on a loop
because he really brought it home on
this
issue there are a lot of things that the
nation would like to see
the vice president of the united states
say yes to border crisis
is one of them but there are a lot of
areas where she could engage and show
leadership
the no advice is interesting because
remember her boss was told that he
needed to go out and find a woman of
color for the bottom of the ticket and
after watching her go after him at the
debates
it might have been a situation where you
say no mr president you need to tell the
world that you chose me for
blah blah blah i wonder if that
conversation ever happened i wonder if
she
says no back to the president when that
sort of thing comes up it's just a
question
that is a great question harris as usual
emily coming to you though look i
understand the sentiment of being told
no and fighting back and good for her
for doing that but has she necessarily
lived up to that when it comes to
uh propping up other women perhaps in
the state of california where you used
to live right i personally don't think
so and you're right and that was such an
awesome question
um but i agree i think that the the
messaging of using nose as
fuel as as inspiration as challenges as
charges
rather than sort of the end of the
journey of course that's that resonates
and i think that's that's a wonderful
message
um albeit sort of brusquely uh delivered
but
you know as a californian who sort of
lived under her varying reigns for so
many decades
a lot of us feel that her walk is very
different
from her talk for example you know big
tech we know that she's been embedded
with big tech big yes to them is what
you're saying yes a big a big yes
and a no to all of those ordinary
californians however that she swore to
protect in the realm of privacy for
example in censorship for example
of victims of cyber bullying cybersexual
crimes and the like
she was a huge advocate for them in name
only
and then the second she got to the hill
she certainly vetoed or voted
differently than she promised a lot of
people
while in her private speeches on the
google campus saying i've been waiting
for this for a year and a half
i'm here to cultivate relationships the
sort of revolving door between her
varying teams through the years and the
big tech industry
a lot of ordinary americans are sort of
left wondering well
where where are you and how is this so
different than what you say so to
highlight her kamilahnomics i think on
forbes to me is the biggest issue here
regardless of what she eats
i feel like snl coming on compliment
for some reason that word is easier for
me than mayoral and i had to practice it
though
in full so tommy to that point this new
term
common linomics which apparently
describes did you make that up no
it was in the forbes article
forbes has discovered a new economic
philosophy called kamilanomics
named after kamala and it's about
propping up women small business owners
interestingly though we had someone who
did just that
ivanka trump did just that securing 1.5
billion
in relief from the private sector for
small businesses
10 billion to cdfis which are banks that
help
minority and low-income communities but
i don't remember the term
ivankanomics do you do you tommy
no not at all but again when kamala says
these things she eats no
for breakfast i don't expect anything
different from her as we've all said and
we can all reiterate
we've expected her to do a lot more with
this gold opportunity that she's been
given
but i'm not gonna put her really in this
position because i know how she operates
i know
what kind of a woman that she is what
i'm going to say is the media
you're holding this woman it's vanity
it's all vanity putting her on covers
and giving her softball questions not
asking her questions at all
i mean you mentioned the way that they
treat republican women the way they
treat ivanka melania where they treated
sarah palin
i mean they're propping her up putting
her on the cover of magazines and then
when they put her on the cover of vogue
she wasn't looking good enough for the
woke crowd they wanted her to be more
stylish at the end of the day it's all
about vanity where are the tough
questions she's would
been put in charge of our border crisis
and the media
has failed to press her on it so yes i
see comel on a cover magazine i see her
touting herself how wonderful she is and
her accomplishments which
by the way good for her she's gotten to
a great place but i'd like to see the
media
pressing her i know how kamal operates
where is the media asking the tough
questions
they are the ones that are truly failing
i'd love to see it
but i'm not holding my breath charlie
and here's why
maybe we can pop up if we have it that
forbes magazine cover
it does not look like a a media cover
here
you're scrutinizing a politician to me
it looks like a campaign
ad and it's just that and you know this
comes after the la times created an
entire beat
about kamala harris and it's dedicated
to her her historic rise
these are media organizations not
propagandists
yeah you're not holding your breath
because you know the media um
yeah you know in this age of celebrity
politicians
you know i have to say that i feel like
vice president harris
is sort of the emptiest of all of them
when you look back at
the amount of grief that president trump
got for being a celebrity and he was a
celebrity there's no doubt about it
but nobody had any doubt about where he
stood on the issues
and and he was not shy about sharing
with people where he stood on the issues
and it probably caused him a lot of
headaches that he might not have needed
but he was that clear about where he
stood what does kamala harris stand for
i have no idea
other than she obviously stands for
herself and she's very good at promoting
herself
but you know she had a career as a
prosecutor in california
and then she throws all that out the
window in order to jump on this
defund the police bandwagon uh but but
none of that
you know when she first announced that
she was going to run for president
you know she was announced that she
would definitely be the next nominee
before the first
the first contest she had to bail so
even democrats don't like her
so i don't think the celebrity thing is
working out very well can i ask you a
quick question
because charlie points to the politics
of this and you know there may be
something strategic that we don't
really necessarily see yet i mean if you
have aspirations for further what would
you want
you'd want to walk away from whatever
past didn't serve for the next
job right and so you look in the last
four years looking forward and then
looking back
it would be almost like a clean slate
you know what did she say on the border
well she didn't say anything on the
border exactly so you can't
quote what's not said i don't know i i i
it's just you know my own curiosity
about what her political future
that's what she wants it to be exactly
what it is i read a report about how
she's trying to keep a low profile
for that reason so she's not on the
record on these issues on the border can
you do that as a vp for very long
she could she can sneak on by and then
try to walk right into the oval office
we will see
if it works i'm steve ducey i'm brian
kilny and i'm ainsley earhart and click
