Can The 'Kamala Koup' Re-Invent The Least Popular VP In Recent Memory?

In an apt metaphor for Republican helplessness in the face of the Democratic Party coup that put Kamala on top of the ticket without a single vote, House Republicans finally released their report today finding that Biden committed impeachable offenses. And no one cares. Because Biden's been disappeared, replaced by a Kamala Harris bathed by the media to appear as newly-fallen snow. Will it work? Also today, did Zelensky give Putin more than a black eye with his incursion into Russian territory? Finally...Zelensky did Nordstream? That's what the WSJ claims...

Staying Away From Politics 00:14:29
Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning in to the Liberty Report.
With us today, we have Daniel McAdams, our co-host.
Daniel, good to see you this morning.
Happy Monday, Dr. Paul.
How are you?
Doing well.
Good.
Doing well.
Excellent.
And there's some political activity going on.
They're having a little party up in Chicago.
They're reminiscing.
They have an anniversary of a rally one time up there in 1968.
They had a grand time up there.
I remember that well.
I didn't go, though.
I stayed away.
But it was a big deal.
That was getting near the, well, probably in the middle.
The 60s hadn't concluded yet, but it was part of the radicalism of the 60s.
People talk about how terrible it is now, it is.
But, you know, when you compare it to the 60s, people sort of like to forget about some of the problems we've had back then.
But there was some news out about this because, you know, the Republicans don't like Biden.
They wanted to impeach him at one time.
Guess what?
The Republicans finally got hold of the House.
And what do they do?
You know, Trump has the record, impeached twice.
But they never, they might have had as much on Biden.
Matter of fact, quite frankly, I think they have had twice as much stuff as they did on Trump because a lot of that was just pure makeup.
But the House had an investigation after they took hold of the House.
It's been going on for a long time.
And it seems like it was very, very important because most of the country already knew it.
But they did it and they confirmed the fact that Biden may be involved in illegal activity.
And yet it didn't seem to hurt too much politically.
But the family was involved.
I didn't know that's the way it works.
But the headline on Zero Hedge, House concludes that Biden actively participated, that's serious, in impeachable offenses, except it's too late to impeach him.
So we can't do anything about that.
But anyway, it does make news.
But I don't think anybody is surprised there was enough evidence of that.
And yet the media, the media has to work harder.
They're probably annoyed that they have to work so hard because Trump gets away with everything.
He keeps telling the truth and he gets away with it.
The media is hysterical over all this.
But I think it has to be analyzed in context of what's going on.
He did a lot of his bad stuff when he was a vice president.
But Kamala was a worse vice president than he was.
So that's something.
But there's some people, and I think you sort of lean in this direction, where the activity we've had recently has been a coup.
People were using it, but you were the first one I heard usually work in this instance.
But the coup was to take over without a vote.
When they list all the things and all the votes, well, how many votes has she gotten over the years?
Zero.
It's the most amazing story ever.
And I think the proper word was a coronation.
It was announced, and that was it, no votes.
But it'll be interesting to see because I cannot believe, I think they said at least the media, oh, Biden's going to give a speech and he's going to turn it over and we're all going to be fun and happy games.
But I predict the one thing, though, that when Biden gives his talk, you will be shocked if he praises Nancy Pelosi.
I don't think that'll happen.
So that's the activity going into this convention.
But it has made people think about the 60s, you know, in the 68 Democratic convention.
But surprises can happen.
I suspect it'll happen this year too, this week.
Yeah, well, could we put on this clip?
This is from Zero Hedge, what we're talking about.
It just broke this morning that several House committees investigating Biden.
Well, they discovered that, guess what?
He did some bad stuff.
As you say, Dr. Paul, he committed impeachable offenses.
And they have the next clip here, C, and Hunter just saying, take it easy, see you later.
No problem.
So it's too late.
And this is just another example of the hapless GOP.
Just when they finally think they've got him, you know, it's almost like the Roadrunner cartoon.
Just when they almost think they have him, they zip away because Biden is irrelevant now.
Nobody cares.
He's already been ruled incompetent to stand trial, essentially, by the special investigators.
So it's like they have this great coup and then nobody cares against Biden.
But the real coup, as you mentioned, Dr. Paul, really is the fact that they simply, it's almost like when you're on the computer and you delete and replace.
They deleted him and replaced him with someone that didn't get a single vote.
And now she is all of a sudden being reinvented by the media.
She's going to, as you say, she'll be crowned at this hearing.
And it's just an amazing process to watch because everything bad that happened in the last three years, the inflation, you know, all of these horrible things.
Well, that was Biden.
He's gone.
Now it's the Kamala show, and she's clean and fresh and new.
You know, it's amazing.
Yeah, but if the Republicans were, I use a little common sense, they have to make the point that Biden handpicked her.
He moved her along and still is, you know.
But this whole idea that she can get away with that, but it isn't she getting away with it.
It's the managers getting away with it in collusion with the media.
So that's how it works.
But it looks like she's going to survive for another day.
But I don't think there will be another announced candidate this convention this week.
It's not only that, but it's the party.
I mean, it almost is like the old Soviet Communist Party because the party decided, Joe, your days are over.
And Pelosi even admitted, she called Joe and said, listen, Joe, your time has come.
It's time for you to move on.
And another, I think, bit of evidence that the whole thing was pre-planned is it was literally hours after they announced it's Kamala that all of these printed signs, all of this branding, all of this design work, that doesn't come out of thin air.
That takes a lot of time to organize.
All of a sudden, it's out there.
It's Kamala.
All completely pre-planned.
The whole thing was decided by the party, the people aside, which is so funny because as we've remarked on this show, Dr. Paul, the Democrats keep saying, this election, democracy is on the ballot.
And the coronation of Kamala is the opposite of democracy.
It's the party deciding.
You know, it isn't just low-grade, dirty politics and lying and scheming.
I mean, there were some serious crimes committed in this investigation by the House committee.
Foreign payments, this was some of the founding, foreign payments.
The Biden family reportedly received $27 million from foreign sources, often through his shell companies with some funds directly reaching Joe Biden's bank account.
And they were able to put the checks out.
And people have known this.
They're just immune to thinking in terms of right and wrong.
But so many times, it's almost even different.
You look back.
I think Nixon was ripped off.
He wasn't nearly the criminal these guys were.
And somebody said, Nixon should have fought it.
And then there's another one, Barisma.
That's the big one.
That was in the news for a long time.
Hunter Biden was paid a million annually by the Ukrainian company Barisma using his influence to support the company in allegedly shut down corruption investigation.
Well, that's a big deal.
And it's not a revelation.
Biden himself bragged about it.
I had the guy fired who was looking into his son.
On national television.
He bragged about it.
That's part of that moral bankruptcy we are living with.
Exactly.
So the GOP takes three years to investigate this and find out this whole thing.
And meanwhile, remember, we talk about this all the time, especially under Johnson.
What are they doing?
They're passing meaningless resolutions every other week.
We stand by Ukraine.
We stand by Israel.
We do this.
We do that.
We do the other.
They don't do the main work of passing appropriations bills.
They do nothing but symbolic things.
And then they don't get down to the business of this when it could have made a difference.
Now it's too late.
So the UNA Party keeps moving on.
It's incredible.
And the Barissa, I think the Barism is the most important because I think knowing that, even though we knew it years ago, the question is, okay, so his son got a million bucks a year and lots of other stuff.
How did this influence Vice President Biden's Ukraine policy?
Now, Ukraine was his baby when he was VP.
How did this carry over into him as president, now giving Ukraine $200 billion in a war that Ukraine will lose at the expense of maybe a million Ukrainian men?
How did all of this turn into policy?
A little petty cash-in for the son turns into a policy that kills a million people.
Well, right now, I don't think there's much effort or reason to talk about Biden, Joe Biden, but what about the young guy, the young guy that he's ill, you know, he has an addiction, and so he got excused.
But he evidently has been spared before, you know, with the justice.
It says the Justice Department during his presidency deviated from normal practices.
No.
Why?
Deviated from the normal.
I thought if they deviated from the normal, they'd be illegal.
The normal illegal practices they deviated from.
To favorable treatment.
A lot of us and others throughout the country have talked about the Department of Justice and even the FBI.
Just recently, the FBI, in the case of the individual that shot at Trump, the so-called assassin.
And he, it is astounding.
The FBI got rid of that body.
Remember what I said the day after the election?
Probably going to be the cover-up starting.
Is ever going to know.
But I keep wondering, wonder what they had to hide.
You know, it looks like he, it looks like all the stuff is out.
All the evidence is out.
But anyway, no evidence of anything.
Maybe they had some type of drug.
He was drugged up or something.
Yeah, you never know.
I know.
It's exactly.
Well, here's the thing about, I mean, this is like my exhibit B on the whole coup thing.
And this is Peter St. Ange.
He's, I think, a brilliant economist.
He's very well known.
I follow him on Twitter.
Very smart guy.
If you can put this next one on.
Now, he makes a very important point.
So I'll set this up.
So there's a press release.
There's a statement from Vice President Harris on the record $19 million new business applications.
And a commenter, Mike Shalana, said, is it normal for the White House to release statements of this kind from the vice president?
Guess I'm just wondering if she's in charge and we can blame her for inflation.
Or if she's not in charge, in which case, why is the government lending its resources to her campaign?
Peter St. Ange says, this is a great point.
She's in charge when it's convenient and she's not in charge when it's convenient.
The buck stops wherever it's convenient.
And that's the beauty of the Kamala coup because she's not responsible for the bad stuff, only for the good stuff.
I wonder if she knows anything about the deep sea that helps them out in these kind of conditions.
Yeah.
So that's that for sure.
Would you want to mention about North Stream?
Yeah, can I actually just do one other thing though?
Because I found these and I want to put them up.
This is the making of Kamala Harris because people are forgetting, even though it's just been a couple of weeks.
Put this up.
This came out literally earlier this month.
Go to the next one.
Sorry.
I'm going to skip that one.
So this is earlier this month.
According to NBC polling, Kamala Harris is the least popular vice president in the history of their polling.
She's the least popular a couple of weeks ago.
Then do the next one.
This just came out.
A new study, after abandoning Biden, the leftist media are unapologetically promoting Kamala Harris with 84% positive coverage while trashing Trump with 89% negative coverage.
So the mainstream media is completely, completely positive and completely negative for Trump.
And so you go from the least popular vice president in history, you add the media mix, and the resulting synthesis is, go to the next one, here's Politico, a completely different campaign.
How Kamala Harris reopened the electoral map.
And they say, Kamala Harris is on the cusp of becoming an unstoppable candidate.
From the least popular VP in history to an unstoppable candidate.
From Least Popular to Unstoppable 00:08:13
It's pretty amazing how they can do that.
And she's been able to achieve it.
And the one thing that is amazing is if you just casually glance at the headlines, her rallies are twice as big as Trump's.
So they build it up.
They must be able to get the people out.
There are some pictures, but they don't get into detail.
It's one of those image things that they could manufacture as if this was the most important thing in the world.
Well, you reminded me because I almost, I found this clip.
You mentioned her rallies.
This is a recent rally.
Let's listen to this, though.
So the reality versus the media image.
The media image is that she's unstoppable.
Here's the reality.
This is her on the campaign trail.
And I'm not doing this to make fun of her, but I'm doing it to point out the fact that this is not exactly an articulate, eloquent speaker.
Let's listen to Kamala Harris in 45 seconds of Kamala.
Let's see if we can handle it.
Let's test ourselves.
And that's what our election is about.
Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy.
As a democracy, we know there's a duality to the nature of democracy.
On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact.
What it does for its people to protect and defend their rights, their liberty, and their freedom.
Incredibly strong and incredibly fragile.
How is that for vision, Dr. Paul?
Oh, boy.
You know, that's such an annoying thing, this democracy talk, you know.
And the words, if they were said with sincerity at the right time, you know, a word or two could have slipped down and say, well, that's half decent.
Sounds okay, yeah.
But this is a negative.
It's not decent.
But she didn't get to giggle, did she?
You know, she made a funny phrase, interesting phrase, the duality of democracy.
And our friend Jeff Deiss actually commented under this saying, that means that sometimes the wrong people win, you know, and that's what it means.
There's a duality.
And sometimes they ignore the fact that how can you put imperfect people in charge of everybody so when the mistakes are made, everybody suffers rather than just the individuals.
So yes, that's democracy.
Dictatorship of the democracy.
Make her queen.
Crazy stuff.
Well, Trump says crazy stuff, but that takes the cake.
Well, let's move on then.
You want to talk a little bit about Nord Stream?
There's a big report came out on Friday, I think it was Friday, in the Wall Street Journal.
Now, we covered the Cyhirs reporting last year or whatever it was, where he had a pretty good report about the CIA working with the Navy SEALs to blow up Nord Stream too.
Well, the Wall Street Journal came up with their own investigation.
Now, put it up if you can.
Skip ahead a couple to that Wall Street Journal article if you can.
You can see it's got a picture on it.
Here it is.
So this is what they came out with, Dr. Paul.
A drunken evening, a rented yacht.
The real story of the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.
So apparently what they were saying is a bunch of guys got together, maybe gals too, having some drinks and they decided, hey, let's go blow up Nord Stream.
And this is how it happened.
It's the most cockamame thing I've ever heard of.
Yeah, see, you know, now, but they're going to collect money from this.
Ukraine must pay Germany for doing it.
Yeah, because they're saying that Zelensky knew about it and he coordinated with the CIA, but he tried to call it off at the last minute and it didn't work.
So now there's a German politician saying, hey, if you guys blew up our pipeline, you got to pay us for it.
Meanwhile, they've given them billions and billions of dollars.
You know, and they talk about who exactly has been doing this.
And then they talk about the Germans are involved, the Russians are involved, the Ukrainians did it.
But when they talk about these different groups, I just think of when they becomes the U.S. and Ukraine, to me, that's us.
It's our money, our equipment, no matter whether it's bombing bridges or whatever.
We're very much involved with the American taxpayer.
Fortunately, the American taxpayer is getting some attention is being paid to it, but too little, too late, and not for the right reasons.
Yeah.
Well, here's the opening line of the Wall Street Journal's article.
I mean, just read this and tell me what you think.
Put that one up.
Listen how they start this article.
It was the kind of outlandish scheme that might bubble up in a bar around closing time.
This is one of the most sophisticated intelligence operations in history.
This is one of the most sophisticated acts of industrial terrorism in history.
And they want us to believe that a couple drunks got together in a bar and planned this entire thing.
You know, it is so preposterous that it's almost funny.
And in fact, Lavrov points it out if you go to the next one.
The Russian foreign minister says, come on, come on, man.
Lavrov says it's clear that the U.S. ordered Nord Stream attacks demands answers from Germany.
So the idea that you know you can you plot some things while you're drunk, maybe you let the air out of someone's tires.
I don't know what people do in bars.
They plot some things like that.
But plotting, hey, let's go dive to the bottom of the Baltic Sea and blow up a pipeline.
That doesn't come up very often in bars, I don't think.
See, we've been talking a little bit about a coup, and that has to do with how Kamala took over.
Yeah.
And no votes at all, but the transfer of power has essentially occurred.
Actually, it's not transfer.
It's just a figurehead recognition of those who are really in charge.
But I think it goes back to the coup that I've talked about, the coup that occurred in the 1960s, especially with the Kennedy assassination.
Because it's still the CIA and the FBI.
I mean, the FBI is still involved in this stuff.
You know, the most recent attempt to kill Trump.
So they're involved in Secret Service, CIA, FBI, and they're here to protect us, right?
Yeah, they're here to protect us.
And they're there to run the government and participate in where the real power is.
And that's a great point, too, because you talk about the FBI and the role in the CIA and the deep state in the coup.
And we haven't mentioned this on the show, I don't think, but last week, two prominent critics of Biden's Russia-Ukraine policy got a little visit from the FBI.
Our friend Scott Ritter, the FBI came and they stole all of his papers.
They stole everything he had, going back from when he was the chief weapons inspector before the Iraq War.
They took it all.
And then they also went and they raided the house of Dimitri Simes, who was, and we didn't talk about this, I don't believe, but he was the president of the Nixon Center, the National Interest, kind of the leading journal of the realist school.
He was an aide to President Nixon.
It goes that far back.
They raided his house too.
Now, he's a prominent critic of the Biden administration's policy.
So they are using the FBI, they're weaponizing it to go after their critics, I think.
It's pretty clear.
Yeah, well, Trump's house was sort of raided.
He's filed a lawsuit and a big one.
But my guess is the odds of somebody paying Trump for the injury that they put him through probably pretty slim.
But at least he's not going to let it lie.
People should, you know, better late than never.
Forward to the Conference 00:03:52
And that's why I think it's so important to document these things.
Even say, well, they lied, they lied, it's over, but that's last year.
And the assassinations of the 60s, not important.
And they go into something else.
What we have to do is decide who's going to be queen.
Biden's a crook.
Let's just move on, though.
No reason to do anything.
Horrible.
Well, I'm going to, I just want to do a little bit of a lighthearted thing before we close out, Dr. Paul, which is AI can be a mixed bad, but sometimes it's funny.
And here's a poster on Twitter X who put up this AI image, if you can find that.
Exclusive image of the drunken Ukrainian diver placing the bomb on the Nord Stream pipeline.
You see him down there with his bottle of whiskey.
So that's a pretty funny AI photo about it.
But I'll actually seriously close by reminding everyone on Monday, Dr. Paul, it's just a little over a week and a half from our conference.
I've been pulling my hair out all weekend, working on the schedule, on the program.
There's so much to print, so much to do, but we aren't going to do anything if we don't have our audience.
And I'll put up that last clip if you can, because here is our final outline.
This is not in order, but these are the people who are speaking and what they're speaking about.
If you watch the Liberty Report, you will recognize a lot of these things because we talk about them a lot.
And that's why we want to find the best people out there to talk about them: food freedom, medical freedom, your rights, the free speech, military power, and foreign policy.
It's all going to be there in a great day at a great price, including lunch and coffee.
You can't beat it.
I believe the price is $85 for a full day for all of these speakers.
I look at a lot of conferences, Dr. Paul, and how much they charge, and they're $300, $400, $500 and more, you know.
But we want our whole purpose in what we do at the Ron Paul Institute is to continue the Ron Paul movement.
So that's why we're not looking to cash in on these.
We're looking to bring people together, and that's the point.
So I'm going to put a link in the description and hope you'll be there with us to help move the revolution forward.
Very good.
And I'm looking forward to our little gathering next week.
So this to me is exciting.
And it's also important for us to continue to send out the message, the message that we so strongly endorse, and that is the message of liberty.
And we have a platform and several people to talk about a liberty platform.
And we could talk about it for a long time.
You know, the one thing our Constitution, U.S. Constitution, was recognized, it wasn't 120 pages and this sort of thing.
It was simplified.
And ours, you know, the Liberty platform is going to be simplified compared to many others.
But I'm even going to go to one step further because I like to narrow it down as I can.
So I picked up three items.
And I think if we do A, B, and C, underneath each one, you can put as many things as you want.
But I try to do this to say it's not complicated.
We have a mess.
And the whole goal of a lot of people in this country is chaos because we want to destroy the status quo and then we can rebuild it with socialism and whatnot.
But yes, we'll have chaos.
And I don't think we're going to prevent it from occurring because we're in the middle of it.
But then we have to know what we can replace it with.
So some might just read three points and then decide to read all the details.
But I don't think the answers are complicated, especially if you look at the monetary issue and other things.
So I'm looking forward to the conference, and I'm sure everybody's going to have a good time defending freedom.
I want to thank everybody for tuning in today to the Liberty Report.
