>> WE WANT MORE FAMILIES IN
AMERICA TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD AN
ELECTRIC CAR THAT IS MADE IN
AMERICA.
>> Emily: VICE PRESIDENT
KAMALA HARRIS PUSHING BIDEN’S
MASSIVE SPENDING PLAN AND THE
PUSH FOR ELECTRIC CARS BUT THE
VICE PRESIDENT ALSO TURNING
HEADS WITH THIS AWKWARD MOMENT
WHEN SHE SHOWED HOW TO USE ONE
OF THE CARS.
>> THERE WE ARE.
>> THAT’S IT.
>> THERE IS NO SOUND OR FUMES.
>> THAT’S NOTHING, THAT’S ALL
THERE IS TO IT.
>> YOU CAN USUALLY SMELL IT AND
YOU CAN HEAR IT, CAN HEAR THE
GUZZLING SOUND, NONE OF THAT.
HOW DID I KNOW IT’S ACTUALLY
WORKING?
>> IT IS.
>> Emily: PETE HEGSETH, YOUR
THOUGHTS.
>> Pete: WHEN I SAT ON THE
BENCH IN THREE YEARS IN I WENT
TO MY COACH AND SAID COACH, WHY
DON’T YOU PLAY ME?
AND HE SAID PETE, IF YOU ARE A
GOOD PLAYER, IF YOU ARE BETTER,
I WOULD PLAY YOU.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SHE’S JUST
NOT GOOD AT HER JOB AND THESE
NEWS REPORTS KEEP COMING OUT
THAT SHE DOES AND PREPARE VERY
WELL, DOESN’T READ THE BRIEFING
BOOK, YOU PUT HER OUT TO SELL
SOMETHING AND SUDDENLY SHE
UNSETTLES IT AND MAKES HERSELF
THE STORY AND THEN AWKWARDLY
LAUGHS SO YOU CAN’T ASK HER A
TOUGH QUESTION, SHE DOESN’T KNOW
WHAT SHE’S REALLY SELLING AND WE
GET TO PAY FOR ALL THESE
ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
ELECTRICITY WHICH IS POWERED BY
SOMETHING OTHER THAN THAT WHICH
IS A DIFFERENT ENERGY SOURCE
WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE CLEAN
BUT THEY DON’T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THAT.
>> Emily: DESPITE THE OBVIOUS
AND EVERYTHING THAT PETE POINTED
OUT, THERE ARE MANY MEDIA
OUTLETS THAT COME TO THE
VICE PRESIDENT’S DEFENSE AND AS
SHE FACES THOSE LOW APPROVAL
RATINGS SPEECH IS MENTIONED, WE
HAVE POLITICAL WRITING IT’S NOT
ALL HER FAULT, HER BOSS’ NUMBERS
ARE SLIPPING AND SHE HAS BEEN
HANDED A PORTFOLIO OF FRICTION
FILLED POLICY ISSUES LIKE
IMMIGRATION AND VOTING RIGHTS.
SHE’S ALSO TAKEN HEAT FROM MEDIA
THAT HER DEFENDERS SAY IS UNIQUE
TO THE FIRST FEMALE BLACK AND
SOUTH ASIAN VICE PRESIDENT.
>> Morgan: I THINK THERE ARE
TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES GOING ON
HERE.
AS IT RELATES TO HER POPULARITY
OR LACK THEREOF, I WOULD SAY
THAT SHE IS IN MY MIND TOO
FOCUSED ON POTENTIALLY RUNNING
IN ’24 AND GETTING PEOPLE TO
LIKE HER.
AND WHEN SHE’S ACTUALLY THE MOST
EFFECTIVE IF YOU GO BACK AND
LOOK AT HER GRILLING PEOPLE WHEN
SHE WAS IN THE SENATE ON THE
JUDICIAL COMMITTEE, SHE IS TOUGH
AS NAILS.
I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE ACROSS
FROM HER, SHE’S A PROSECUTOR,
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND I WISH SHE
WOULD STOP FOCUSING ON TRYING TO
HAVE PEOPLE LIKE HER AND FOCUS
ON THE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MADE
HER EFFECTIVE FROM HER PARTY’S
PERSPECTIVE IN OFFICE.
ALSO REMEMBER THAT DEMOCRATS
RUNNING FOR STATEWIDE OFFICE IN
CALIFORNIA HAVE ENDURED SINCE
RONALD REAGAN, HAD COMPLETE
AUTONOMY OF THIS STATE EXCEPT
FOR ONE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR.
SO THEY’RE JUST NOT USED TO
HAVING TO DEAL WITH REPUBLICANS,
THEY’RE NOT USED TO HAVING TO
SPEAK TO BOTH SIDES BECAUSE THE
FIGHT IN CALIFORNIA IS IN THE
PRIMARY.
FINALLY, ELECTRIC VEHICLES, YOU
GUYS KNOW I LOOK AT EVERYTHING
FROM AN INTERNATIONAL
PERSPECTIVE, CANADA AND MEXICO
ARE REALLY HOT TO TROT OVER THIS
PROPOSED SUBSIDY THAT BIDEN IS
PUTTING FORTH, IT WOULD VIOLATE
USMCA WHICH IS THE FREE TRADE
AGREEMENT THAT REPLACED A NAFTA
WHICH PRESIDENT TRUMP NEGOTIATED
SO THERE’S A LOT MORE ON THIS
ISSUE THAT WE WILL HAVE TO PAY
CLOSE ATTENTION TO ON THE POLICY
SIDE.
>> Emily: WHAT ARE YOUR
THOUGHTS ON THAT ESPECIALLY THE
IMPACT ON DOMESTIC ECONOMY HERE?
>> THE PUSH TO GO GREEN IS REAL
AND THE GOALS TO HAVE ELECTRIC
VEHICLES ON THE ROAD ARE REALLY
ROBUST BY AUTOMAKERS.
IT’S THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WHERE
THE POLITICIANS ARE AND THE
AUTOMAKERS ARE FOLLOWING, I’M
NOT SURE.
A LOT OF POLLING DOES SHOW THAT
IF YOU CAN MAKE THE CARS AND
BUILD THE BATTERIES HERE IN THE
U.S. THAT MORE AMERICANS WOULD
BE INCLINED TO BUY AN ELECTRIC
VEHICLE AND OF COURSE, YOU GET
THE SUBSIDIES.
THE DEAL WITH VICE PRESIDENT
HARRIS AND I APPRECIATE HER
DEMONSTRATION.
WE ARE GOING GREEN, WE NEED MORE CHARGING STATIONS BUT THIS PUSH
CHARGING STATIONS BUT THIS PUSH
IS ON THE MISS ALIGNS HER WITH W
THE PUBLIC IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
IS SO CONCERNED ABOUT TWO
THINGS.
GOING GREEN IN SOCIAL JUSTICE
WHERE AMERICANS ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT INFLATION AND THEIR SAFETY
BECAUSE OF CRIME.
SO THERE’S THIS MASSIVE ON
ALIGNMENT BETWEEN THE
VICE PRESIDENT AND THE PEOPLE
RIGHT NOW AND THAT EXPLAINS WHY
HER POLL NUMBERS ARE LOWER THAN
HER BOSSES.
>> Emily: HARRIS?
>> Harris: SO NO ONE THOUGHT
TO GIVE HER A QUICK ONE
PARAGRAPH ARM WHEN YOU PLUG-IN
YOUR TOASTER AND PUSH IT, DOES
IT MAKE A NOISE?
CAR WORKS THE SAME WAY IF IT’S
ELECTRIC.
RIGHT?
NO ONE THOUGHT TO TELL HER THAT
FOR A WHILE WHEN THEY WERE
STARTING TO MAKE CARS, PEOPLE
WERE SO CONFUSED BY ELECTRIC
CARS SINCE SOME OF THEM HAVE A
FAKE SOUND IN THEM SO YOU CAN
HEAR THE TURNOVER OF THE FAKE
ENGINE SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT
THEY ARE ON.
THAT WAY, SHE COULD HAVE MAY BE
MADE A JOKE LIKE THEY DIDN’T PUT
THAT IN THIS ONE SO IT SOUNDS
LIKE MY TOASTER, SILENT.
THERE IS A WEIGHTED AND HE WANTS
THIS AND MAKE IT FUN, FRESH, AND
FUNNY.
THAT’S EVEN NECESSARY.
I DON’T THINK IT IS.
I THINK THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS
DRIVEN AN ELECTRIC CAR LATELY SO
NOW SHE DRIVES AN ELECTRIC CAR.
I WISH SHE WOULD GO TO THE
BORDER SO SHE WOULD GO AND SOLVE
SOME ISSUES LIKE SOMEONE START,
LET HER FOLLOW AND GIVE HER AN
INDEX CARD WITH A FEW GOOD
NOTES.
ON THE HOW STUFF WORKS.
>> Emily: THE POINT YOU’RE
MAKING IS DOVETAILING TO WHAT
MORGAN SAID WHEN A
"WALL STREET JOURNAL" OP-ED BY
PEGGY NOONAN SAID WHY IS SHE
TRYING SO HARD TO BE LIKABLE
WHEN AMERICANS ARE JUST
DESPERATE FOR HER TO DO HER JOB?
IF SHE WAS HALF AS EARNEST ABOUT
ACTUALLY DOING HER JOB AS SHE
WAS ABOUT TRYING TO HAVE PEOPLE
LIKE HER AND BE RELATABLE IN
THESE AWKWARD MOMENTS AND
VIDEOS, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WOULD BE A LOT MORE GRATEFUL AND
SEE A LOT MORE RESULTS BUT
