=== Why Kamala Harris Is Less Popular (06:28) ===

[00:00:00]  Every time Kamala Harris speaks, she is less popular.
[00:00:06]  I believe that.
[00:00:09]  I don't know how much less popular.
[00:00:12]  The people who are voting for Kamala Harris are not voting for her because she's genuine, because she's deep, because she's wise, because she has wonderful policies.
[00:00:24]  They're voting for her because she's a left-wing Democrat.
[00:00:28]  Which is what almost all Democrats are.
[00:00:30]  That's it.
[00:00:33]  They would vote for Tim Walls if Tim Walls were the nominee for president.
[00:00:41]  If it was Walls-Harris, it would make no difference.
[00:00:45]  And when he opens his mouth, are people impressed?
[00:00:51]  The number of serious lies as opposed to Trump's Generally not serious lies.
[00:01:00]  It's Trumpian exaggeration.
[00:01:02]  I'm not excusing it, but I have to put it in context.
[00:01:06]  I have the biggest crowd since Moses took the Israelites through the Red Sea.
[00:01:11]  Miranda Devine, who's a great writer at the New York Post, it is painful to hear and even worse to transcribe.
[00:01:25]  Kamala Harris's word salads.
[00:01:27]  But here goes.
[00:01:28]  With, you know, 28 days to go.
[00:01:31]  I'm not Donald Trump.
[00:01:33]  And so when we think about the significance of what this next generation of leadership looks like, were I to be elected president, it is about, frankly, I love the American people.
[00:01:51]  And I believe in our country.
[00:01:54]  And I, I, I love that it is our character and nature to be an ambitious people.
[00:02:06]  You know we have aspirations, we have dreams, we have incredible work ethic.
[00:02:13]  I analyzed this when I played it for you the other day.
[00:02:18]  So if you're intellectually honest, here's a question.
[00:02:24]  Given that we would all acknowledge Americans did have a work ethic, it was called the Protestant Work Ethic.
[00:02:30]  It is one of the most famous books of sociology ever written.
[00:02:32]  Who wrote that book?
[00:02:35]  What was his name?
[00:02:37]  Weber?
[00:02:38]  Yeah.
[00:02:39]  The Protestant Work Ethic.
[00:02:45]  You know, I'm a religious committed Jew, and I have great...
[00:02:52]  Admiration for Protestantism.
[00:02:55]  Max Weber.
[00:02:56]  Max Weber, yeah, the German sociologist, yeah.
[00:03:02]  What has the left done to compare to what Protestants have done?
[00:03:08]  Okay.
[00:03:09]  Just, I'm saying, positively.
[00:03:14]  Just as an interesting question.
[00:03:16]  A lot of leftists have fortunes of money.
[00:03:19]  So how many hospitals have been built by Catholics, Protestants, and Jews, right?
[00:03:28]  Such-and-such Baptist Hospital, right?
[00:03:32]  Saint-something Hospital, Beth Israel Hospital.
[00:03:36]  Where are the leftist hospitals?
[00:03:39]  I mean, maybe it's an unfair question, but I'm just curious.
[00:03:47]  What the leftists will say is, no, what they do is push government to make hospitals, which is exactly what big government does.
[00:03:57]  Big government removes altruism.
[00:03:59]  Big government crushes the human desire to do good on their own.
[00:04:05]  I don't have to do good.
[00:04:07]  The state will.
[00:04:09]  That is how the left looks at life and teaches people to look at life.
[00:04:16]  Leftists volunteer much less time than conservatives to charities.
[00:04:21]  Look it up.
[00:04:24]  Because they don't want to do that.
[00:04:26]  The government will do it.
[00:04:28]  Why should I? So the work ethic...
[00:04:33]  When she talks about American work ethic as a leftist...
[00:04:39]  And you know, I'm reading the transcription, and it's interesting that every time she said she loved America, she says I three times.
[00:04:47]  She sort of stutters.
[00:04:49]  It's because it's not true.
[00:04:52]  So I think there was difficulty in her saying it.
[00:04:59]  She loves the American people?
[00:05:03]  Does that include the MAGA crowd?
[00:05:07]  I believe in our country.
[00:05:11]  Yes.
[00:05:13]  What is it?
[00:05:17]  If you fundamentally transform the country, they love it.
[00:05:21]  I asked this, God, when did that happen?
[00:05:25]  2016?
[00:05:26]  Yeah, right?
[00:05:28]  No, 2012. So I asked this 12 years ago.
[00:05:33]  How can you claim you love a country you want to fundamentally transform?
[00:05:37]  Barack Obama's words.
[00:05:39]  Remember that?
[00:05:40]  I think it was 2008, wasn't it?
[00:05:42]  Oh, 2008?
[00:05:44]  2008. Yeah, 2008. He was elected 8 and 12. That's right.
[00:05:48]  Trump's 16. Yeah.
[00:05:50]  So 16 years ago, I made the point.
[00:05:54]  16 years ago, as soon as he said it.
[00:05:57]  How do you claim to love what you want to fundamentally transform?
[00:06:02]  And I remember the analogy I gave.
[00:06:04]  I love my wife.
[00:06:08]  And I want to fundamentally transform her.
[00:06:12]  Now, anything you want to fundamentally transform, you don't love.

=== True Awfulness Revealed (00:30) ===

[00:06:17]  What you love is yourself.
[00:06:21]  There was more, but you get the picture, writes Miranda Devine in the New York Post.
[00:06:28]  The true awfulness has to be seen because she punctuates what is now called her word salad with fake passion And hand on heart sincerity and disconcerting hand waving.
