>> VICE-PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS
GETTING A LOT OF HEAT AS SHE
CLOSES OUT HER FIRST YEAR IN
OFFICE.
AFTER MONTHS OF BAD HEADLINES,
REPORTS OF OFFICE CONFLICTS.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT SAID THIS WAS
HER BIG OF THE FAILURE.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FAILURE?
>> TO NOT GET OUT OF D.C., MORE.
[LAUGHING].
MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS I DON’T
WANT TO BE IN A BUBBLE WHEN IT
COMES TO BEING AWARE OF WHAT
PEOPLE NEED AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT
IN TIME.
>> HER FAILURE WAS SHE DIDN’T
GET OUT ENOUGH?
SHE COULD HAVE GONE TO THE
BORDER BECAUSE SHE IS THE BORDER
CZAR.
>> SHE COULD STILL GO. SHE IS ON THIS PR TOUR TRYING TO
SHE IS ON THIS PR TOUR TRYING TO
MAKE HERSELF LOOK BETTER.
SHE’S NEVER BEEN TO THE BORDER
AS OUR BORDER CZAR.
SHE COULD MAKE THE EFFORT.
INSTEAD OF TALKING TO
JOURNALISTS AND THE MEDIA AND
TRYING NOT TO MAKE THAT AWKWARD
LAUGH, SHE COULD DO SOME OF THE
JOBS SHE WAS ASSIGNED.
SHE COULD GO DOWN TO THE BORDER
TODAY OR TOMORROW.
SHE WANTS TO MAKE HERSELF LOOK
BETTER AND WANTS TO PAINT
A ROSEY PICTURE FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE TO LIKE HER MORE.
WE DON’T CARE HOW LIKEABLE SHE
S. I WOULD NOT CARE IF SHE WAS
UNCOMFORTABLE TO WATCH.
JUST TRY TO DO YOUR JOB.
AT LEAST PUT IN A LITTLE EFFORT.
THAT’S THE MOST INSULTING THING
ABOUT THIS ENVIRONMENT.
SHE DOESN’T TRY.
KNOWS SHE IS A FAILURE AND
DOESN’T CARE.
SHE WANTS TO APPEAR BETTER TO
US.
>> RISE.
THEY PUT HER OUT ON THIS PRESS
TOUR TO REHAB HER IMAGE.
TODD, ANOTHER SOUND BITE FROM
THE CBS INTERVIEW.
THIS IS HER BEING ASKED WHETHER
SHE WAS SET UP TO FAIL BY BIDEN
WHICH HER DEFENDERS ARE SAYING.
>> NO, I DON’T BELIEVE I AM
BEING SET UP TO FAIL.
I AM THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
ANYTHING THAT I HANDLE IS
BECAUSE IT’S A TOUGH ISSUE.
IT COULD NOT BE HANDLED AT SOME
OTHER LEVEL.
>> TODD, IS SHE HANDLING IT?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
THAT ANSWER WAS FOR AN AUDIENCE
OF ONE AND THAT’S JOE BIDEN.
TRYING TO TAMP DOWN THE STRESS
SHE CAUSED IN THE WHITE HOUSE
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS
WITH THE LEAK THAT CAME OUT OF
HER OFFICE SAYING I AM WANT
HAPPY WITH THE JOB I AM DOING
AND NOT HAPPY WITH THE TASKS I
WAS ASSIGNED AND DON’T WANT TO
DO THEM THIS IS NOT THE ROLE OF
THE VICE-PRESIDENT.
SHE IS ON THIS CHARM OFFENSIVE
SAYING ALL THAT WAS LEAKED WAS
NOT TRUE.
I DON’T THINK THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE ARE BUYING IT.
WHO IS BUYING IT, THE MEDIA
ORGANIZATION WHOSE GOT THAT
INSTRUCTION FROM JEN PSAKI AND
THE WHITE HOUSE SAYING WE NEED
BETTER PRESS CONFERENCE.
-- COVERAGE.
WE ARE DEMOCRATS.
WHAT IN THE LIBERAL MAINSTREAM
MEDIA DO, LOCK, STOCK AND
BARREL, OKAY, WE NEED TO COME
AROUND FOR YOU.
2022 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
WE DON’T WANT TO HURT THE
DEMOCRATS GOING FORWARD.
THAT’S WHAT THIS IS.
I DON’T THINK THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE ARE BUYING IT.
>> IT’S FUNNY YOU SAY THAT.
CARLIE, SHE’S BEEN PUSHING BIG
THE VOTING RIGHTS BIG.
I THINK IT WOULD HURT DEMOCRACY
MORE.
DEMOCRACY GOT HER AND BIDEN
ELECTED A YEAR AGO.
COME ON.
>> DEMOCRACY AND CLIMATE CHANGE
ARE TWO BIGGEST NATIONAL
SECURITY THREATS TO THE COUNTRY
SHE SAID.
WITH KAMALA HARRIS THE BIDEN
PEOPLE ARE FRUSTRATED.
THEY SEE HER AS UNPREPARED AND
A POLITICAL LIABILITY.
KAMALA HARRIS IS FRUSTRATED
BECAUSE SHE FEELS LIKE SHE IS
BEING SET UP TO FAIL.
I THINK BOTH SIDES ARE RIGHT.
KAMALA HARRIS IS A POLITICAL
LIABILITY.
IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH
MESSAGING.
WHETHER YOU LIKE PRESIDENT BIDEN
OR NOT HE WAS AN EXCELLENT
POLITICAL MESSAGE.
NOBODY COULD FIRE UP A CROWD
LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP, BUT WITH
KAMALA HARRIS SHE SEEMS UNSURE
AND UNCOMFORTABLE BEING FROM.
PEOPLE CAN SENSE THAT.
I THINK THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
SETTING UP TO FAIL WITH THE
BORDER JOB.
THAT’S A POLITICAL LOSE-LOSE IN
A DEMOCRAT’S PORTFOLIO.
>> I AGREE.
LAUREN, LET’S TALK ABOUT
FAILURES AND AFGHANISTAN.
SHE ADDRESSED THAT ISSUE AS
WELL.
LISTEN TO HER DEFENDING THAT
CHAOTIC WITHDRAWAL. >> DO YOU FEEL A PERSONAL
>> DO YOU FEEL A PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHAOS OF
THAT WITHDRAWAL?
>> I SUPPORTED THE PRESIDENT’S
DECISION.
TAKING ON THE FACT OF BEING AN
ENDLESS WAR OF PULLING AMERICAN
TROOPS OUT.
>> LAUREN, 13 AMERICAN
SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN DIED.
>> AND YOU HEAR THE BLAME GAME.
I BLAME THE DONALD TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE THEY
BROKERED WITH THE DEAL WITH THE
TALIBAN TO GET THE U.S. OUT BY
MAY.
NEWS FLASH:
ALMOST EVERYTHING THE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATION DID WAS
DISMANTLED DAY 1 BY THE NEW
ADMINISTRATION, THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION WAS IN OFFICE.
WHILE HER REMARKS WERE SHOULD,
THEY STILL WERE LOADED WITH THE
BLAME GAME INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING
RESPONSIBILITY.
WE HAVE SO MANY WOMEN ALLIES.
KAMALA HARRIS SPENT MOST OF HER
CAREER ADVANCING WOMEN.
NOW YOU HAVE THESE AFGHANS STUCK
THERE.
THE ONES AT THE AMERICAN
UNIVERSITY IN AFGHANISTAN.
THEY CUT UP THEIR I.D. CARDS.
THEY DON’T WANT TO BE FOUND BY
THE TALIBAN.
I HAVE SOURCES TRYING TO GET
THEM OUT.
THE OPTIONS FOR WOMEN IN
AFGHANISTAN ARE TWO FOLD:
WELCOME A BRIDE OR THEY ARE
