Outlines
π¨ DNC Tensions Rise Amid Policy Controversy π¨
The Democratic National Convention (DNC) is met with high security measures in Chicago, reflecting a tense atmosphere. Businesses have boarded up in anticipation of potential unrest. The script discusses Kamala Harris's candidacy and her recent policy proposal to combat price gouging, which has been met with criticism and has seemingly halted her political momentum. The proposal's lack of specifics and its potential impact on the economy is questioned, with comparisons to past policies and their outcomes. The script also highlights the media's shift in tone towards Harris's campaign, suggesting a loss of honeymoon period for her nomination.
π Criticism of Harris's Price Control Proposal π
This paragraph delves deeper into the criticism of Kamala Harris's proposal for federal price controls, particularly in the grocery sector. The script mentions the lack of clarity in defining 'excessive prices' and the potential for such measures to lead to market distortions, shortages, and black markets. It cites various media outlets, including CNN and the Washington Post, which have expressed skepticism about the proposal's effectiveness and economic wisdom. The paragraph also touches on the political implications of such a policy and the ideological divide it represents.
π Extreme Democratic Policies and Activism π
The script moves on to discuss other controversial policies and activist actions associated with the Democratic Party, such as Planned Parenthood's offer of free abortions and vasectomies from an RV near the convention center. It also mentions the party's stance on abortion rights and the repeal of the born-alive infant protection act in Minnesota under Governor Tim Walz's administration.

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
