Transcripts

the National Guard is on standby in

Chicago businesses in the city have

boarded up their Windows as if a

category 5 hurricane is about to make

landfall massive fences have gone up in

residents front yards on the west side

as the police brace for riots and you

know what all that means today is day

one of the Democratic National

Convention now under normal

circumstances the start of a nominating

convention creates a political Tailwind

for presidential candidate there's

supposed to be some enthusiasm about the

party's platform going into the

convention because they control the

messaging and in the case of the kamla

Harris campaign the messaging is about

as tightly controlled as it can possibly

possibly be she hasn't given an

unscripted interview since she became

her party's presumptive nominee nearly a

month ago she's communicating to the

public almost exclusively through

rehearsed sound bites but Harris is not

experiencing any political Tailwinds at

the moment in fact the honeymoon period

for candidacy appears to be pretty much

over just in time for the beginning of

the DNC all it took was for KLA Harris

to describe one piece of information

about what she plans to do if she's

elected just a single policy proposal

has tanked her momentum so dramatically

that even the corporate press which has

done everything it can to boost her

candidacy up to this point of course has

started to turn on her I'm talking about

KLA Harris's proposal to end what she

calls price gouging which she unveiled

in her North Carol in speech in North

Carolina on Friday except the roll out

didn't go uh quite as planned watch and

I I will work to pass the first ever

Federal ban on PR price gauging on food

well that inspires a lot of confidence

she wants to uh fight price gouging but

she can't even pronounce the word

gouging she wants to assume enormous

unprecedented and unilateral control

over some of the most important sectors

of the economy including the grocery

industry and she can't tell the

difference between the words gouging and

gauging in Her speech Harris didn't

offer any specifics about what

constitutes an acceptable price and what

is unacceptable she didn't explain how

her Administration can override the laws

of supply and demand without destroying

the economy nor did she explain why this

new proposal is even necessary in the

first place I mean didn't kamla Harris

cast the tiebreaking vote in the Senate

to secure the passage of the so-called

inflation reduction act which authorized

nearly a trillion dollars in in uh

government spending wasn't that two

years ago like what happened to that we

I thought we reduced inflation she

passed the law now did that law perhaps

increase inflation after all as

conservatives said that it would KLA

Harris didn't answer any of those

questions on Friday instead she

complained about inflation as if her

Administration hasn't been running the

country for the past four

years as president I will take on the

high costs that matter most to most

Americans like the cost of food

we all know that prices went up during

the pandemic when the supply chains shut

down and failed but our supply chains

have now

improved and prices are still too

high a lot a loaf of bread cost 50% more

today than it did before the

pandemic ground beef is up almost

50% I mean it's it's pretty uh

incredible imagine going to your

employer and asking for a promotion and

in order to explain why you should get a

promotion you list all of the problems

that you have created in your

workplace to then say that you need to

be promoted so you can fix

it I broke it so I alone can fix it is

that like the I mean that's one argument

I guess so all the Trump campaign has to

do is air that clip that you just saw in

every Battleground State they don't need

to make a single edit KLA Harris is

admitting that her Administration was a

failure and now she wants even more

power to control the economy she knows

she can't call for more legislation

because that already failed she can't

call for reducing government spending

and money printing because her

constituents Demand free stuff free

student loans free health care

subsidized rent subsidized home

purchases and so on so she's reduced to

demanding price controls which have

failed in every country that they've

been attempted including this one even

by the standards of the leftwing

corporate media uh this is all like a

bit too much they can tolerate a

candidate who doesn't give interviews

who bails out violent riers who wants to

abolish ice and get rid of private

healthare all of that is fine with them

but Soviet style price controls are so

obviously destructive that even the most

partisan Democrat aligned Outlets can't

tolerate it it's also pretty on the nose

since Harris's running mate Tim

Walls uh is an open admirer of Ma's

who's taken dozens of trips to

China which is by the way speaking of

weird like do you know any normal person

who's gone to China dozens of

times also allegedly this is a guy that

doesn't even own anything he he has no

property that he owns he has no net

worth he's

like basically broke and yet he's taking

dozens of trips to China whatever um it

looks a lot like uh uh Democrats now

want to import Chinese style communism

which which crossed the line even for

CNN watch you know it's very hard to pin

down what this would actually mean if

you look at the legislation that as I

mentioned is already in the Senate um

led by Senator Senate Warren and Senator

Bob Casey and and AO of others the

particular way that this is written

which is likely to be the template for

any proposal that Harris would

eventually um Embrace is especially bad

in that it just bans excessive prices uh

grossly excessive prices grossly

excessive profit margins and says that

the Federal Trade Commission can use any

metric at deems appropriate to decide

what that what that would would mean um

which basically says like it's not going

to be markets it's not going to be

supply and demand that's uh determining

how much your grocery store charges you

for for milk or for eggs it's going to

be some bureaucrat in DC but it also

would be very bad for markets we've seen

this kind of thing tried in lots of

other countries before Venezuela

Argentina the Soviet Union Etc it leads

to shortages it leads to Black markets

um you know plenty of

uncertainty and beyond that the specific

way this bill is written might actually

increase

prices yeah we can't have the grossly

excessive profit margins how do you draw

the line there

like what what counts as a grossly

excessive profit margin well the ones

that are gross the gross ones how do you

know if they're gross well because

they're gross if it's a profit margin

that makes you go ew gross then that's a

grossly excessive one that's that's the

way that's the uh the measure the

government's going to use for this now

the CNN analyst In that clip Katherine

ramble rample is um also wrote a column

for the Washington Post with this

headline quote when your opponent calls

you communist maybe don't propose price

controls the oped continues it's hard to

exaggerate how bad K Harris's price

gouging proposal is it is and all but

name a sweeping set of government

enforced price controls across every

industry not only food supply and demand

would not no longer determine prices or

profit levels far off Washington

bureaucrats would at best this would

lead to shortages black markets and

hoarding yes at best that's the best

case

scenario it's bad enough for Kam Harris

that an oped like this would be

published The Washington Post but it

gets worse because the paper editorial

board came out the next day and endorsed

uh the same oped quote the times demand

serious economic ideas Harris's supplies

uh Harris's supplies gimmicks that's the

editorial board's headline and they went

on to point out that the grocery

industry is a notoriously low margin

business with profit margins typically

hovering around 2% the paper added quote

whether the Harris proposal wins over

voters remains to be se but if sound

economic analysis still matters it won't

now if you're cynical or just observant

you might point out that Jeff Bezos who

owns the Washington Post also owns Whole

Foods so of course he wouldn't want

price controls on groceries but pretty

much everywhere you looked in left-wing

media you saw basically the same

headline Newsweek for example ran this

article quote Kam Harris's grocery price

gouging plan is riddled with problems

experts say CNN meanwhile push alerted

this story to the millions of people who

read its website quote Harris's plan to

stop price gouging could create more

problems than it

solves various CNN guests also

criticized Harris's plan to give no home

new home binders $25,000 because the

plan will

obviously just cause the prices of homes

to increase for everybody that's all

that will happen watch look when it

comes to the 25k I mean you just added

$25,000 into every price in in uh on

every home price in the country because

if you're giving that away for free

people will add it into the price now

one way to read all of this coverage is

that the corporate press is trying to

help the kamla Harris campaign they know

the campaign is making a huge and

potentially fatal unforced error and

they're trying to push them into

moderating the message on the Sunday

shows there were some signs that the

message maybe was received Andy Basher a

Harris campaign surrogate suggested that

K Harris just wants to break up

monopolies even though we already have

laws against that but on the other hand

there are many more signs that Democrats

genuinely aren't concerned with

appearing moderate anymore they simply

can't help themselves like normally the

plan for Democrats has been to appear

normal during the election year and then

enact their actual agenda once they're

in office but we're kind of skipping

that step this year and heading directly

into complete unhinged Insanity the

Venezuelan style price controls are just

one component of that here's another one

Planned Parenthood has announced that

it'll be uh it'll be posted just blocks

outside the convention center in Chicago

in an RV giving out free abortions and

free V

vasectomies and there was so much demand

for the vasectomies that a waiting list

has began almost immediately the

abortions are available Monday and

Tuesday and the vasectomies are only

available on Monday that's the way that

they're breaking this down and just to

underscore the Communist theme of the

new Democratic party planed Parenthood

says that the services will be provided

quote on a sliding fee scale pay what

you can and get the health care you need

they say that people from all over the

country have signed up to travel to

Chicago in order to kill their children

in this uh child killing bus or get of

visectomy and that's not hard to believe

based on what's happening outside the

convention site last night activists

dressed as abortion pills began uh to

demonstrate they showed up in costumes

to look like abortion pills and uh and

here's what that looks like

okay and I don't even know if we can get

the screenshot up but I I'm pretty sure

that right in front of these women

dressed as abortion pills

there's a big sign that says Trump and

JD Vance are

weird so just the irony is is I mean

irony is dead basically you've got a

March you rainbow Flags people dressed

as abortion pills and Trump and JD Vance

are weird they're also saying F the

courts F the state you can't make us

procreate is what they're chanting now

as I've uh as I'm as I'm constantly

needing to remind these people uh you

should understand that nobody is trying

to force you to procreate no one would

want to force that even if we could

force you to procreate we

wouldn't the issue is that once you have

conceived a child procreation has

already

occurred so it's it's too late at that

point to not procreate you already

have the question is whether it's okay

to murder your own offspring because

you're sad about the fact that you

procreated

and the answer is no it's not

okay that that's our our point but these

activists like so many activists on the

left refuse to be told no they can't

accept it they want you to know that

nothing is more important to them than

the ability to kill their own children

not Jud the judicial system or even the

country itself hence the champ now 20

years ago Democratic Party leaders would

have disavowed this kind of language

they tell you that abortion should be

safe legal and rare is what they used to

say because that's the slogan that

tested well in focus groups at the time

they bulk at the idea of an abortion bus

at their

convention but this year Democrats are

going to nominate kamla Harris and Tim

Walls who bragged that he's to the left

of Nancy Pelosi on abortion watch and my

record is so pro-choice Nancy Pelosi

asked me if I should tone it down I

stand with Planned Parenthood and we won

so Tim Walls stands with Planned

Parenthood

so much that Nancy Pelosi told him to

tone it

down now what does that look like in

practice well we're seeing it right now

in DC or at the DNC and in DC we've also

seen it from uh how walls has governed

Minnesota quoting from the National

Review quote data from the Minnesota

Department of Health indicated that

since Governor walls was inaugurated in

2019 eight babies survived abortion

attempts in Minnesota on five occasions

no measures were taken to preserve life

on three occasions only comfort care was

provided tragically all of these babies

died instead of strengthening

protections for these children SF 2995 a

bill wall signed last year repealed the

born-alive infant protection act which

was intended to provide legal protection

for infants who survived

abortion so just to reiterate these are

infant

children delivered born outside the

womb who are either killed or left to

die and leaving them to die is the same

thing as killing

them now uh these kinds of positions

used to be disqualifying even for

Democrats they're not disqualifying

anymore which is why you're seeing

abortion buses showing up at the

DNC it's why you're seeing activists

call for the destruction of the United

States because they want to kill their

children it's also why a group called

Americans for contraception will erect

an 18 foot inflatable IUD called Freda

WB outside the convention which you can

see right here

and this will be the unofficial mascot

of the DNC I mean they're literally

making an idol out of birth control it

is the modern Democrat version of the

golden calf right outside the convention

hall it's possible these activist groups

are sending abortion sterilization buses

and IUD monuments of the convention

because they think most voters are on

their side you know we're always told

that abortion and Reproductive Rights

quote unquote euphemism there are a

liability for Republicans supposedly

these issues are uh an electoral slam

dunk for Democrats especially after the

dobs

decision but the reality is that most

Americans still think that it's freakish

and bizarre to worship birth control

like some kind of pagan deity and very

few Americans think that abortion should

be given away like popsicles out of an

ice cream

truck most people also don't think that

every single meeting needs to be

segregated by race but the DNC will

begin with the uh following events at

9:00 a.m. you can see the list there the

Black Caucus meeting the Hispanic Caucus

meeting the aapi Caucus meeting the

Native American Caucus meeting and the

ethnic council

meeting there's no white meeting there

needless to say Democrats are radically

deranged on all of these issues they can

barely hide it most of the

time when a bunch of them gather

together there's no hiding it somebody's

bound to show up with a baby killing van

and a giant IUD Monument or dressed up

as a as an abortion pill or something

similar for several years now Democrats

have cultivated a party of activists who

are both unhinged and entitled who

expect to be coddled even as their

demands become more detached from

reality and this week as the Democrat

National Convention in a uh begins in a

boarded up Chicago the entire country

will be able to see

that and if it wasn't dead in the water

already the honeymoon for KLA Harris's

candidacy will officially be over
