Sometimes when something is presented to you, especially when it comes to analyzing either political or geopolitical, Or international or legal media issues.
You ask yourself sometimes, are they doing this on purpose?
Do I just not get it?
Am I missing the point?
Am I overreacting?
Am I making too much out of this?
Am I expecting too much?
Do I have a hyper-stylized sense of what is and isn't normal?
A lot of things go through my mind.
I always think, too, that they're trying to sandbag me and gaslight me, that this is all solipsistic, I agree, but it's all just to fool me because this can't be happening unless somebody were deliberately doing this on purpose.
It's like it's the work.
Well, Kamala Harris was the gift that...
Kept on giving.
None of it made any sense.
She couldn't pull 2%.
You know her background.
I'm not going to go through the whole her provenance with Willie.
It's a long story.
I think borderlines on sexy or sexist.
Not sexy.
What am I saying?
I think that when a woman tends to be the male version of a Satir.
That, you know, we throw things at her.
I mean, we talk about her moral deficiencies in the life.
But if it's a man, it's a different story.
So I kind of stay away from that.
But I think we all know the story of her political provenance or where she came from, so to speak.
But here's a very, very interesting issue right now, which I want to bring to your attention and your...
Your focus.
Many people have suggested, in fact, CNN and others, that the Democratic National Committee, the DNC, has conducted focus groups, which are dangerous, on Kamala Harris.
This is according to a CNN report, and the purpose is to understand why voters don't like her.
They actually, they had to have a focus group on this.
It's like, I think it's...
It's obvious, and we'll show you why.
Her approval rating continues to plummet.
It's somewhere in the mid-30s.
This is barely freezing.
You don't want to get around at room temperature, all that stuff.
According to various polls, this is an historic low.
For the vice presidency, and she spent, as you were saying, the first three years in office struggling with terrible headlines.
Remember, the vice president, for the most part, is really not a bad source.
I mean, bad, where you thought, well, I mean, you know, Agnew, nattering nabobs of negativism to use the sapphire thing.
He got rid of him.
Nobody liked him.
Dan Quayle.
Remember, we thought that Dan Quayle was an idiot.
He couldn't spell potato or whatever.
I mean, he wasn't bad.
He just wasn't there.
You know, he wasn't a very warm bucket of piss, as Mr. Gardner said.
But some Democratic voters now are saying that Kamala Harris has been better at talking about things than Biden.
Specifically, guns, student loans, Israel-Gaza.
Let me say this again.
Some voters say that she has been better.
The issue is not her.
It's him.
So, Biden and his campaign aides are continuing to...
As they say, signal and indicate frustration with Harris as she tries to advance and break out on key issues during this very important campaign.
So the White House was, quote, fuming, fuming at her and her team, according to this report, after she tried to emphasize her position, her understanding, her perspective.
On an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, etc., etc., even though her position was basically identical to that of Biden's.
And the report also was indicating that Biden and his age and his Confederates and the like were annoyed by the idea that they should somehow use Harris more, lean on her, call her into play more.
And it's just absurd.
So to make a long story short, people are asking, why?
Why do you think?
What are the reasons?
What are some of the problems with Kamala Harris?
What might be some of the sticking points that they might have regarding her?
Let me start off with the obvious.
And we have to do this because all of this is a waste of time unless we look at The obvious.
And this is something which is extremely critical.
This is something called the obvious.
Let's start with this.
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
One more time.
One more time.
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
You exist in the context of all in which you live.
You can't find fault with that, per se, but the idea is that you shouldn't be worried about poles and focus poles.
Get rid of her!
If you must have a black woman, if that is, if for some reason, which I think is absurd, I think that's racist, get Stacey Abrams!
Get anybody!
Anybody!
Lori Lightfoot!
Well, let me stop there.
Beetlejuice, no.
There's something that is so phenomenally fascinating about whenever she dares speak.
This is what I find so interesting.
It's when she gets deep.
This is when you, this is, again, you don't need to focus.
Look, you can send me the money.
Tell her not to be funny and tell her not to be deep.
So what's the difference between deep and funny?
I don't know, but she should just stay away from it at all costs.
Tell me what she's saying here.
And be unburdened by what has been, you know?
Let me try this again.
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been.
Okay.
She does make you stop and think because you're thinking, you know, I want to give her a chance to be unburdened, you know?
What can be unburdened by what has been?
Okay.
What can be unburdened by what has been?
What can be?
Let me guess.
What can be unburdened?
By what was?
Unburdened by what has been.
Well, what has been, okay.
We can see what we believe can be unburdened by what has been.
What can be unburdened by what has been.
What can be unburdened by what has been.
Who we can be?
Yes.
Unburdened by who we have been.
What can be?
Unburdened by what has been.
Where we can be.
By the way, remember, this is her moment.
This is her ask not and the only thing we have to fear.
You would think somewhere along the line somebody would say, let's come up with something else.
That was good.
You mastered that one.
But we've only said it like a thousand times.
But that's really not the problem.
That's not the problem, and you know what the problem is, and there is something which is a subject which I want to address foremost, and let me see if I can do this first of all.
Let me start off by saying I am not a psychologist or a psychiatrist or a neurologist, but I am a self-appointed expert.
For purposes of this, I am.
I am my own expert.
I am an expert and more of an expert than most of the clowns you will see on TV because I have spent, for the entire period of my life, I have spent my time studying aberrant or aberrant behavior, depending upon where you're from, schizophrenia, psychosis, serial killing, depraved paraphilia.
If it is demented, I'm there.
Because you don't know what normal is unless you know what abnormal is.
And when it comes to laughing, laughing is one of those things that can be a nervous habit.
It can be mockery.
When you're laughing, if somebody's fallen down, they've hurt themselves, and you're laughing, yeah, that's laughing, but there's something demented, something depraved about that.
There's wonderful, there's these psychotic behaviors called hebephrenia, which is kind of like this disjointed schizophrenic laughing, pseudobulbar affect.
Very complicated.
Witzelsucht.
Witzelsucht.
Again, this excessive laughing.
Making puns, inappropriate sexual humor, you know, leave it to the Germans to come up with some neurological condition for laughing too much.
But I've always noticed how laughing can be, especially when it's a crutch to cover up for something, like a paucity of mentation, like a dearth, a diminutive amount of intellect.
It's a cover-up.
Maybe a long time ago it was...
Conceived as some form of a...
Oh, I don't know.
Some means of showing I'm with you.
I don't know.
But very rarely do we see somebody who so quickly...
In fact, let me ask you something.
Do you know anybody that you've ever known in any context, in any aspect, in any framework, in any corner of your life where...
They have laughed this much.
Ask yourself.
And by the way, It's not the laughing, per se.
It's the gyrations, the spasmodic, paroxysmal, cachinations, guffaws, chortles, screaming, almost climactic.
It's not just laughing.
It's almost anger or fear or something.
hidden masked behind the bleat.
I mean...
And by the way, you must always notice the degree of the uncomfortable nature of the people around.
Even Colbert, who by the way is as funny as Stillbirth, even he's thinking...
You're waiting for it because not only is it unexpected, it's undeserved, and it's never commensurate with the degree of humor that the particular event warrants.
He knows how to sell right there, okay.
I'll do it.
*laughter*
Even Ellen, who by the way is the meanest person from what I hear, even she's thinking, I'm really trying.
I'm really trying.
I'm really trying.
Look at that.
I don't know if you saw that look of complete...
Now, this deserves a close-up.
Oh, no, no, no.
This deserves a close-up.
These are two of the most miserable people you will ever meet.
Not so much Joe.
Joe doesn't know what he wants to be, but meager Brzezinski, or Zika, the Zika virus.
Meager and Joe.
Meager, as in meager, minor, de minimis.
Two of the most unfunny, unreal, plastic, plasticine ersatz.
Artificial, disconnected, untethered, unattached.
And I'm doing kind of what she's doing.
What we, not what we were, but what we have been.
Watch their faces.
She's still got a sense of humor.
Still got a sense of humor.
Meager, devoid of any humor, trying her best to say, what do I do with this?
What do I do with this?
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
You hear that?
This is Kimmel.
I'm trying.
I'm really trying here.
You know, when you...
You gotta ask yourself, when you have these many clips, and these are just...
Just a few.
When you have these many clips, you have to ask yourself, this isn't funny.
Do you see Colbert right there?
You see Colbert?
You see his face?
He's like saying, I don't know what the hell to do with it.
Okay.
There's...
Laris O'Donnell.
Okay.
All right.
Get me under here.
Jesus Christ.
Joining us now from New York.
Okay.
Now have...
Because you'll need some help.
Maybe you can have...
Maybe you can have...
You look fantastic.
Over the top.
Disconnect it.
And by the way, I'm going to send the bill to the DNC.
You don't need any focus group.
You want some more?
No.
Maybe, maybe...
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Stop right now.
Ask yourself, did you ever think it was this bad?
I mean, you knew it was bad, right?
But did you ever...
I'm serious.
I'm not saying this just for the purpose of my own theater art of sorts, but did you ever think it was this bad?
And nobody ever said to her, stop this.
Seriously.
We don't know anybody on the planet.
Think about this.
Nobody.
Nobody who's ever shown this affectation...
Oh my God!
laughter So, let's do this!
Alright, that's enough.
You've got to ask yourself this question.
The Democrats have some of the smartest people, I'm sorry, some of the smartest people that you've ever imagined or known, who are stuck with, and as I write this, as I prepare this, it's 197 days until the election.
Now, don't you think?
Somebody would say, we've got a lot of good people.
I still submit to you that Gavin Newsom will come in at the last minute, that something will happen to Joe.
Nothing bad.
Maybe he'll get COVID-5 or some Omicron variant or something, whatever.
And people will say, oh, thank God, because he is just, it's not fair anymore.
It's not fair.
If you saw him at the Wawa in Philly, oh my God.
I mean, it was bad.
It was bad.
So you know he, and you can bring in, and also Gretchen Whitmer or somebody along those lines, believe it or not, I know you may not agree with this, but, or if you must have, if you are, again, if you are still Forced to use the African-American demographic?
Fine, there are so many others.
And I still say Stacey Abrams, I think, can do the job.
Very, very, very adept, very lucid, very smart, able to describe it, to explain the particular things here.
But this, how does this happen?
How did these people, so ostensibly smart, So, in the fight for their life, get to this point with these two people.
And I keep thinking, am I missing something?
Is it on purpose?
And then I start second-guessing and I start contriving all kinds of weird, what you might say, conspiratorial machinations.
So it's very simple.
Lose Kamala.
Nobody, but nobody likes her.
Nobody...
Questions her?
Well, her sincerity maybe, but nobody feels that she provides a particular outlook or a particular platform that nobody else can do.
I mean, it's time.
But look, if you're maybe throwing in the towel and sandbagging and basically helping Trump, all the better.
I mean, all the better.
