IS A LOT MORE TO DO AND WE’RE
GOING TO GET IT DONE.
>> A LOT TO DO ALL RIGHT.
JOSH HOLMES.
>> OH, MY.
WELL, LISTEN, I DON’T BELIEVE
THAT THIS WHITE HOUSE ACTUALLY
BELIEVES YOU CAN UNDERUTILIZE
KAMALA HARRIS.
IF THEY COULD PUT HER NEXT TO
THE BOWLING ALLEY DOWN IN THE
BASEMENT OF THE WHITE HOUSE FOR
THE NEXT THREE YEARS THEY WOULD
DO THAT.
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU GUYS SAW A
COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK WHEN THEY
HIRED A CANADIAN TALENT AGENCY
TO SURROUND HER WITH KID TENDING
TO BE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT SHE HAD
TO SAY.
THAT’S FOR ME A PERFECT
MICROCOSM OF THE ENTIRE VICE
PRESIDENCY OF KAMALA HARRIS.
SHE HAS NO ABILITY TO CONNECT
WITH PEOPLE.
THEY DON’T PUT HER INTO POSITION
TO TRY TO INTERACT WITH CONGRESS
BECAUSE THEY DON’T THINK SHE HAS
ANY INFLUENCE THERE EITHER.
THE QUESTION IS, WHAT DOES SHE
DO?
THEY SENT HER OVER TO FRANCE,
OTHER THAN PAYING A FRENCH
ACCENT -- I THINK THEY HAVE A
REAL PROBLEM.
HER PROFILE, I’M NOT SURE THEY
CAN RESTORE IT ANY TIME SOON.
>> WHEN YOU GIVE THOSE EXAMPLES
IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR HER IF
YOU WERE JUST BEING FUNNY
THE PROBLEM IS YOU’RE BEING
FACTUAL AND FUNNY.
>> THAT’S THE PROBLEM.
>> HARRIS, I JUST HEARD HER SAY
SHE DOESN’T FEEL MISUSED OR UNDERUSED EXCEPT WE HAVE MORE
UNDERUSED EXCEPT WE HAVE MORE
THAN THREE DOZEN SOURCES.
THAT’S WHAT CNN SAID.
I THINK THERE IS A LITTLE TRUTH
TO THE MATTER WHEN YOU HAVE THAT
MANY SOURCES AND SHE COMPLAINS
ABOUT MEDIA COVERAGE AND SHE’S
BEING ATTACKED.
JEN PSAKI SAYS IT’S BECAUSE OF
HER IDENTITY.
THIS WOMAN BEGAN THIS PRESIDENCY
WITH THESE KINDS OF HEADLINES.
IT WAS COVERAGE, "NEW YORK
TIMES", 100 DAYS OF VICE
PRESIDENTIAL STYLE.
LOS ANGELES TIMES, CREATED A
BEEP FOR KAMALA HARRIS, A BEEP
DEDICATED TO HER HISTORIC RISE
TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
THIS IS SOMEONE WHO STARTED WITH
FAWNING MEDIA, HAS SINCE LOST
THE MEDIA BECAUSE OF, WAIT, NOT
HER IDENTITY.
HER JOB PERFORMANCE.
BORDER IS ON FIRE.
HER INEPTITUDE IS THE REASON
SHE’S LOSING THE MEDIA.
>> WHAT’S REALLY INTERESTING ON
THE FAULKNER FOCUS WE FOUND
THOSE PIECES OF PRESIDENT BIDEN
SAYING LOOKING FOR A WOMAN,
LOOKING FOR AWOMAN OF COLOR,
PROMISES OF WHAT HE WAS LOOKING
FOR AND THOSE THINGS HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH HER FAILURE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> HARRIS: WHAT HE MATCHED WITH
HER JOB AND THE SPECIFICITY OF
HER FOR THAT JOB NOW HAS NOTHING
TO DO, EMILY, WITH WHY SHE’S
STRUGGLING ON THAT JOB.
IT WAS SKILL SETS SPECIFIC TO
WHAT SHE DOES.
EMILY: HITTING THE NAIL ON THE
HEAD.
WHEN YOU’RE IN A RELATIONSHIP
AND SOMEONE SAYS, WHEN WE HAVE A
BABY IT WILL BE DIFFERENT.
WHEN WE GET MARRIED IT WILL BE
DIFFERENT.
NOTHING WILL BE DIFFERENT BY
PUTTING HER IN THE VICE
PRESIDENTIAL SEAT FROM HER AS A
CAMPAIGNER WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY
HORRENDOUS.
EVEN THE "NEW YORK TIMES" CALLED
HER AN UNEVEN CANDIDATE WHO
CONTINUES SWITCHING MESSAGES AND
TACTICS TO NO EFFECT
THE REASON SHE NEVER MADE IT TO
THE IOWA CAUCUS IS BECAUSE SHE
WAS IN SINGLE DIGIT POLLING AND
DROPPED OUT BECAUSE SHE COULDN’T
CONNECT WITH VOTERS.
HER POSITION IN SAN FRANCISCO
WAS HANDED TO HER SO SHE NEVER
HAD TO EARN THE HEARTS AND MINDS
IN CALIFORNIA WHO SAW THROUGH
HER CAMPAIGNING AND SHALLOW
COMMENTS BECAUSE SHE NEVER
FOLLOWED THROUGH SO TO THOSE OF
US WHO SAW THAT SIDE OF HER
WHICH I THINK IS GROWING INTO
THE MILLIONS NOW GIVEN HER
ABYSMAL POLLING RATE, WHAT YOU
SEE IS WHAT YOU GET AND WHAT WE
GET IS WHAT THEY VOTED FOR.
>> HARRIS: YOU KNOW WHAT’S
INTERESTING, I WONDER IF THE
WOMEN OF COLOR -- LIKE STACEY
ABRAMS, IF THEY ARE SAYING, WHY
HER?
I JUST WONDER WHAT THOSE
CONVERSATIONS ARE LIKE.
>> I THINK A LOT OF WOMEN
INCLUDING MYSELF ARE REALLY
DISAPPOINTED AT THE FACT THAT
SHE’S OUR FIRST FEMALE VICE
PRESIDENT BECAUSE SHE’S FILLING
THE SHOES THAT SOMEONE MUCH MORE
QUALIFIED COULD HAVE FILLED.
I DON’T GIVER A HOOT ABOUT HOW
SHE FEELS.
I CARE ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AND THE
FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY.
SO INSTEAD OF SITTING ON THE
VIEW, AND SEEM MORE LIKABLE AND
DO DAMAGE CONTROL HOW ABOUT IF
SHE GOES DOWN TO THE SOUTHERN
BORDER, AND START THERE AND WHEN
SHE’S DONE THERE, CLEANED THAT
UP AND HELPED TO SECURE OUR
BORDER, ACTUALLY, THEN MAYBE SHE
CAN GO AND FIND SOME GREEN JOBS
FOR PEOPLE LIKE IN MY HOME STATE
OF SOUTH DAKOTA WHO HAD THEIR
PIPELINE CANCELED AND NOW HAVE
BEEN PROMISED THESE GREEN NEW
JOBS FOR MONTHS AND HAVEN’T
GOTTEN THEM SO INSTEAD OF HER
REPUTATION AND WORRY ABOUT WHAT
PEOPLE THINK OF HER MAY SHE
SHOULD DO HER JOB AND THE SAME
GOES FOR BIDEN.
>> HARRIS: WHITE HOUSE
SPOKESPERSON JEN PSAKI SAYS THE
VICE PRESIDENT IS FACING MORE
CRITICISM NOT BECAUSE OF ALL THE
THINGS THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED
BUT BECAUSE SHE’S A WOMAN AND A
WOMAN OF COLOR.
WATCH.
>> I THINK THERE IS NO QUESTION
ON THIS THAT THE TYPE OF
ATTACKS, THE ATTACKS ON HER,
THAT CERTAINLY, BEING THE FIRST,
WHICH SHE IS MANY TIMES OVER, IS
PART OF THAT.
SHE IS THE FIRST
AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMAN, WOMAN OF
COLOR TO SERVE IN THIS JOB.
WOMAN.
SO MANY FIRSTS.
IT’S A LOT TO HAVE ON YOUR
SHOULDERS.
>> HARRIS: WOMAN.
WOMAN.
HOW ABOUT VICE PRESIDENT GETTING
THINGS DONE.
SAY THAT THREE TIMES FAST.
JOSH?
>> JOSH: I MEAN, LOOK, THAT’S
ANSWER ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
AND BASICALLY THE ENTIRE
PLAYBOOK FOR DEMOCRATS THESE
DAYS.
ANY TIME ANYBODY HAS A FAILURE,
RIGHT?
IT’S BECAUSE OF HOW THEY LOOK
AND WHAT THEIR GENDER IS, NOT
BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY ARE
ACTUALLY DOING FOR A LIVING, IN
HER CASE FAILING AT ALMOST
EVERYTHING SHE’S TOUCHED.
I DON’T THINK IT HAS ANYTHING TO
DO WITH BEING A FIRST AT
ANYTHING.
IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH HER
COMPETENCY.
>> HARRIS: BY THE WAY, WE HAVE A
LOT OF WOMEN ON THIS SHOW.
AND YOU, OF COURSE, JOSH.
