Tucker Carlson and Jason Whitlock dismantle Kamala Harris’s DNC speech, mocking her "fake" Southern accent and immigrant parents—Shamala Gopalan (India) and Donald Harris (Jamaica)—while dismissing her civil rights claims as performative. They attack her border policies, economic proposals, and 2020 election rhetoric, calling her a "demagogue" with extremist ties to open borders and forced vaccinations. Whitlock frames her attacks on Trump as a deflection, warning of Democratic "racial idolatry," while Carlson labels the party a threat to freedoms, ending with fears of YouTube censorship.

And to the delegates and everyone who has put your faith in our campaign, your support is humbling.
So, America, The path that led me here in recent weeks was no doubt unexpected.
But I'm no stranger to unlikely journeys.
So my mother, our mother, Shamala Harris, had one of her own.
And I miss her every day, and especially right now.
And I know she's looking down smiling.
I know that.
So my mother...
I was 19 when she crossed the world alone, traveling from India to California with an unshakable dream to be the scientist who would cure breast cancer.
When she finished school, she was supposed to return home to a traditional arranged marriage.
But as fate would have it, she met my father, Donald Harris, a student from Jamaica.
They fell in love and got married, and that act of self-determination made my sister, Maya, and me.
Growing up, we moved a lot.
I will always remember that big Mayflower truck packed with all our belongings, ready to go to Illinois, to Wisconsin.
However our parents' jobs took us.
My early memories of our parents together are very joyful ones.
A home filled with laughter and music.
Aretha, Coltrane, and Miles.
At the park, my mother would say, stay close, but do something about it.
Do something about it.
That was my mother.
And she taught us, and she always, she also taught us, and she also taught us, and never do anything half-assed.
And that is a direct quote.
A direct quote.
I grew up immersed in the ideals of the civil rights movement.
My parents had met at a civil rights gathering.
And they made sure that we learned about civil rights leaders, including the lawyers like Thurgood Marshall and Constance Baker Motley, those who battled in the courtroom to make real the promise of America.
So at a young age, I decided I wanted to do that work.
I wanted to be a lawyer.
And when it came time to choose the type of law I would pursue, I reflected on a pivotal moment in my life.
You see, when I was in high school, I started to notice something about my best friend, Wanda.
She was sad at school.
And there were times she didn't want to go home.
So one day I asked if everything was all right.
And she confided in me that she was being sexually abused by her stepfather.
And I immediately told her she had to come stay with us.
And she did.
This is one of the reasons I became a prosecutor, to protect people like Ronda, because I believe everyone has a right to safety, to dignity, and to justice.
As a prosecutor, when I had a case, I charged it not in the name of a victim, but in the name of a victim.
unidentified
Okay, can we stop for a second here? - But in the name of the people.
She's actually got her shtick fine-tuned a little more than I thought that she would.
So I think she's probably a little more formidable than expected.
Two other points.
She begins by thanking Joe Biden and then sort of alighting into the current state of affairs by saying, I kind of never expected to be here.
But she never explained, like, how did you get to be the nominee?
I still have no idea, honestly.
There was some kind of online vote or something because the donors wanted it.
I mean, I do think at some point she has to explain, how did I become with not one person going to a single primary and voting for me?
How did I become the nominee?
And the third thing I noticed was that in her sort of not terrible explanation of her childhood and parents seem nice or whatever, they're both immigrants, she from India, he from Jamaica, but she says that her mother was lecturing her about injustice and the civil rights movement.
What?
You came to the United States at 19 to become a doctor, to become a research scientist, apparently.
What injustice did you suffer exactly?
You come from a poor country to a rich country, to a subsidized higher education system, and you become a scientist, and you're the victim of what, exactly, are you?
And what is after the Civil Rights Movement?
I mean, it's not an attack on Kamala Harris to say she's got nothing to do with the Civil Rights Movement.
She's not from an American family.
unidentified
She's lying, of course.
Yeah.
And again, you don't...
Immigrate to the land of opportunity at 19 years old, buy yourself a woman if you think, man, I'm walking into some shithole and I'm going to face all this discrimination.
A 19-year-old woman says, hey, I'm going to travel overseas to live, pick up by myself because, man, this place is terrible.
So if you're old enough to remember when the internet started, you remember the promises that accompanied it.
This was going to make everything easier.
This was going to spark innovation.
And this was above all going to bring freedom to the world.
So back when using a search engine wasn't some big tech mind control operation, that was true.
You'd have to take out your credit card every time you wanted to read a newspaper article.
You weren't bombarded by pop-ups and cheap foreign ads of some kind.
Those days are long gone, unfortunately.
Many of us go online knowing the truth.
You're being watched, you're being recorded, you're being tracked, you're being manipulated at all times.
It's depressing as hell, but you can't get around it because you need the internet to live.
Right now, your internet service provider can probably see your entire browsing history.
It's none of their business, but they can see it.
And thanks to our public servants in the U.S. Congress, they can even sell that public information to the highest bidder, your private information being sold.
And by the way, governments can buy it, and they do.
And who knows what they plan to do with that information, big tech companies or governments, our own or foreign governments.
That's all bad.
And that's why here at TCN, we get around it, we avoid it, we protect ourselves from it with ExpressVPN.
ExpressVPN is a virtual private network that reroutes 100% of our online activity through secure encrypted servers.
And that shields what we're doing online from the prying eyes of our internet service provider and third parties, big companies and governments.

ExpressVPN hides our IP address.
That's the number that can personally identify you on the internet.
And that means that data brokers cannot track us.
It's simple.
It takes one tap to connect, and ExpressVPN works on every device you've got.

In California, I stood up for women and children against predators who abuse them.
As Attorney General of California, I took on the big banks, delivered $20 billion for middle-class families who faced foreclosure, and helped pass a homeowner bill of rights, one of the first of its kind in the nation.
I stood up for veterans and students being scammed by big for-profit colleges.
For workers who are being cheated out of their wages, the wages they were due.
For seniors facing elder abuse, I fought against the cartels who traffic in guns and drugs and human beings, who threaten the security of our border and the safety of our communities.
Fellow Americans, this election is not only the most important of our lives, it is one of the most important in the life it is one of the most important in the life of our nation.
In his own party begged him to call off the mob and send help.
He did the opposite.
He fanned the flames.
And now...
For an entirely different set of crimes, he was found guilty of fraud by a jury of everyday Americans and separately found liable for committing sexual abuse.
And consider what he intends to do if we give him power again.
His explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers at the Capitol.
His explicit intent to jail journalists, political opponents, and anyone he sees as the enemy.
She's saying that Donald Trump will free from prison violent extremists, meaning like 75-year-old lower middle class women with diabetes, when she endorsed defunding the police and opening the prisons to allow actual criminals out, which is why the crime rate has spiked, to allow the population of Venezuela's prisons, Caracas's prisons, are now living in the United States because of her.
I mean, I guess what I'm saying is, and I don't want to sound like I'm whining or fact-checking, which I hate, but what she's saying is the mirror image of the truth.
She doesn't care.
She's got no reference points in the truth, and she's an extremist.
And she's a former prosecutor, and no former prosecutor should hold power, period.
I've covered them my whole life.
I've intensely disliked every single one of them for good reason.
I think they're scary, they're liars, and they're megalomaniacal.
And they put people in prison for political reasons.
I've seen it again and again and again.
And she's one of them.
And people will go to prison.
Trump wants to jail journalists?
I have friends who are journalists.
One of them's in prison now for thought crimes under her administration.
With a strong and growing middle class, because we know a strong middle class has always been critical to America's success.
and building that middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.
And I'll tell you, this is personal for me.
The middle class is where I come from.
My mother kept a strict budget.
We lived within our means, yet we wanted for little.
And she expected us to make the most of the opportunities that were available to us, and to be grateful for them.
Because, as she taught us, opportunity is not available to everyone.
That's why we will create what I call an opportunity economy, an opportunity economy where everyone has the chance to compete and a chance to succeed.
Whether you live in a rural area, small town, or big city, and as President, I will bring together labor and workers.
And small business owners and entrepreneurs and American companies to create jobs, to grow our economy, and to lower the cost of everyday needs like healthcare and housing and groceries.
We will provide access to capital for small business owners and entrepreneurs and founders.
You just let in over 10 million people illegally and you put them all on housing vouchers and food stamps and gave them free plane tickets and free cell phones and all of them have to live somewhere.
You caused America's housing shortage.
If you care about the cost of housing, limit the population.
Certainly don't expand it through uncontrolled immigration, through open borders, which is exactly what they did.
She's responsible for it.
And her donors at BlackRock are buying up the houses in your neighborhood.
And her donors at Airbnb are turning your neighborhood into a completely unmanageable garbage, a place filled with transients where there's no social connection at all between people.
Those are her donors.
Those are her policies.
For her to lecture us on the housing shortage that she caused, it's almost too much.
I can't sit here.
unidentified
Made a suggestion, I think, in the past week about taxing unrealized capital gains included on your house.
When I'm cornered or caught doing something I'm embarrassed of, I lie.
But I've never in my life, it's never even occurred to me to accuse the person who caught me doing something wrong of doing the thing that I'm doing wrong.
I've never even thought of that before.
What is that?
unidentified
It's chess.
It's a brilliant strategy.
It's a great deflection.
It's great propaganda.
It blinds people because they're looking in the wrong direction.
This person's telling me that person is...
No different.
Like, hey, that group over there, they're racist.
Now, we think you black people can't compete with us, so we must lower all standards so you can compete.
So we're going to do something racist, but we're going to tell you they're the racist.
We're so marinating in deception that it's hard sometimes to see it.
The big tech companies censor our content.
I hate to tell you that it's still going on in 2024, but you know what they can't censor?
Live events.
And that's why we are hitting the road on a fall tour for the entire month of September, coast to coast.
We'll be in cities across the United States.
We'll be in Phoenix with Russell Brand, Anaheim, California with Vivek Ramaswamy, Colorado Springs with Tulsi Gabbard, Salt Lake City with Glenn Beck, You
And anyone who's telling you that she's a moron, playing those clips that I played for years on Fox for stumbling through her school bus talk or trying to explain where Ukraine is.
You know, and dismissing her as a buffoon.
She's not a buffoon.
She's a demagogue.
She's actually surprisingly slick and composed, which makes her a lot scarier.
She's the female Gavin Newsom.
They're from the same state.
They didn't win any elections.
It's a one-party state.
They were chosen by the unions in California and installed in those jobs.
There is no democracy in California.
It's fake, and anyone from there can tell you that.
This woman is a product of machine politics in a one-party state.
That's her attitude.
And she's absolutely capable of winning.
That's the takeaway from this, for me.
unidentified
She's capable of winning.
I think she's capable of being carried across the finish line.
And, you know, they have a system in place to manipulate voting and all that.
And they think, and maybe they're right, that they've dumbed down America enough that this What they're putting out there, all this symbolism and all the celebrities are with us, and people that are normal, let's call them weird.
That's another little, their mind trick of, you know, they're making normal behavior seem weird, and they're the normal people.
Anyway, if he's calling anyone weird, but the point is, I think anyone running against this woman should take her seriously, should think very carefully about how to oppose and expose her, and not imagine that she's going to be easily spanked in a debate.
unidentified
You follow elections closer and longer than I have.
Have elections always been this focused on, hey, you should like this person, you should dislike this person, rather than a conversation that's devoid of policy conversations?
But with that caveat, I've certainly been around them my whole life.
I mean, I was at Reagan's last rally in 1980 at the Del Mar racetrack.
So, yeah, I've been to a lot of political events, and no, I mean, up until back when it was a functioning, well-educated country, politicians did.
I mean, Fritz Mondale in 84 made, you know, a real case for his tax program, for example.
You know, even Mike Takakis in 88, Bill Clinton made policy arguments, like, vote for me and you'll get this, and here's how I'm going to give it to you.
I didn't believe them.
But he made those arguments.
This is just slogan afters.
This is a TikTok level speech.
unidentified
But it's really just like, hey, he's a bad guy.
I'm a good person.
Vote.
And that's all they're offering.
And you can't get me to buy that she's a good person.
Based off of just geography, she's a San Francisco politician.
When I go look at San Francisco, that's not what I want for the rest of the country.
And so the argument that I was making on your show 10 years ago is like, hey, the whole left has been hijacked by San Francisco.
These are no longer New York liberals.
Trump is a New York liberal.
She's a San Francisco liberal.
They're revolutionary.
And this whole, whoever it was earlier that got there and said that Democrats, it was Kissinger, they're just as patriotic as Republicans.
She was raising money for the people that were burning and looting the country.
During the summer of George Floyd and all that other stuff, this group hates America, says its founding was wrong.
They've rewritten history.
They paid another delusional woman of mixed-race heritage, Hannah Nicole Jones and Nicole Hannah Jones from the New York Times, to rewrite the entirety of American history back by the New York Times.
These aren't accidents.
These aren't coincidences.
Who is Hannah Nicole Jones?
Mixed breed, half black, half white woman.
What are her credentials?
How did she get elected to rewrite the entirety of American history, frame America as founded in racism and started in 16?
So Kamala Harris just said, I could hear my ear, that if elected president, she will secure the border.
So, like, imagine the balls required.
You know, again, I've told lies, and I'm sure I will.
Again, I really try not to, but I'm sure I will be weak in lie about something to somebody at some point.
But if I ever told a lie like that, that was precisely the opposite of the truth, I'd be worried about getting struck by lightning or something.
A normal person can't lie like that.
I'm going to secure the border?
She's the border czar and we have an open border.
Like, what?
unidentified
They have...
I'm literally just thinking this in real time.
Politics was a game of football.
Contact sport, real consequences.
They've turned it into gymnastics.
There's some judges that we don't really understand, and they score things and say, this person was better than that person.
It's very subjective.
And that's what this is.
They're putting on a four-day concert tour show.
How did we make you feel?
She's an attractive woman.
She's speaking in complete sentences.
And, you know, this looks better, feels better.
Just go with that.
And I'm so afraid for all of us and most important.
I've never voted, Tucker.
I'm going to vote.
I literally just came to this conclusion yesterday, two days ago, in an interview with Eric Metastas, where I was just like, hey man, if Trump doesn't get elected, Those people on January 6th are going to sit in prison for God knows how long.
He's our only hope to pardon these people and free them.
And it just helped me just understand, like, man, these consequences are so real.
And the other thing that just, it's like people don't understand.
Rich Kid's Dilemma00:05:44
unidentified
Even with his flaws, his flaws are actually good things for us in this time, and I know that sounds delusional, or it sounds like I'm just caping up for Trump, but I'm not.
Who was it?
Yeah, Michelle Obama, the affirmative action of generational wealth.
Oh, everybody loves it, because we're all prone to not liking the rich kid.
Someone like me that grew up poor, the rich kid, blah, blah.
But in this instance, The rich kid, the reason we didn't like him is because, hey, he's kind of uncontrollable.
He does whatever he wants because, you know, his daddy can cover for him and the consequences don't matter.
And it just so happens we're at a time in history where we need a rich kid who's uncontrollable.
And so her generational wealth come, it just landed flat with me.
It's like, and she probably does understand, but like the audience doesn't understand.
Is that that's why Trump is valuable because he is the rich kid that's uncontrollable.
It's why, and I apologize for saying this without warning you, but it's just like me trying to understand how you got where you're at.
Why are you uncontrollable?
And you grew up a rich kid.
You were probably a little uncontrollable as a kid.
Well, I've been around all these people my whole life.
And they don't have anything that I want.
And I know them.
And I know what they're like.
I know what a scam this whole thing is.
Because I lived in D.C. for 35 years.
And so none of this is mysterious to me.
And I concluded through experience that it was mostly fake.
And I was shocked by that and angered by that.
And so they're not going to fool me because I... I live there.
I know what this is.
It's a lie.
And I'm just completely sick of it.
Completely sick of it.
And my kids are grown and I don't have a mortgage.
I just don't care.
You know what I mean?
unidentified
Yes.
And that's why I'm looking at Trump in terms of he's old, in terms of like you reach an age and you have enough memories where you're like, you know what?
And then you've got the uncontrollable streak in him.
And that's why, and you can look, and she's unpacking, hey, I grew up poor, and I did this and do that.
You know what that screams to me?
It's like, you can be easily compromised, because you want all this power and wealth, and you'll do anything for it.
He's already had it.
He just doesn't care about it nearly as much.
As she does, and it's not that I'm against the underdog, because I'm certainly one, and my mother was a factory worker, my dad didn't graduate high school, I'm pro-underdog.
But right now, we have so many compromised politicians, so many politicians willing to cut a deal for their own personal gain, that the little underdog story, and I came from nothing, it just doesn't ring.
So what would be your summation, your final thoughts on this?
unidentified
I'll go back to where I began at the beginning.
This is a religious cult of racial idolatry and abortion.
And it's a celebration of the matriarchy and...
Female leadership and it's a group of people that will sacrifice all of our freedoms for the belief they'll be more safe and they're going to be shocked at how unsafe they are and how little freedom they have if we continue down this path.
Those of you in this arena, you're going to get shit on just like everybody else.
I will say, what is sad, though, is I think some people are getting so normalized with their lack of freedom that they won't even know what they're giving up.
And that's what is really scary to me.
But the next pandemic they orchestrate, and if they ever take our guns away from us...
They'll be shoving those needles in you at gunpoint, and you'll be wishing you hadn't given up your guns.
So it turns out that YouTube is suppressing our show.
I know.
Shocking.
That in an election year, with everything at stake, Google would be putting its thumb on the scale and preventing you from hearing anything that the people in charge don't want you to hear.
But it turns out it's happening.
So what can you do about it?
Well, we could whine about it, but that's a waste of time.
We're not in charge of Google.
Or we could find a way around it, a way that you could actually get information that's true.
It's not intentionally deceptive.
And the way to do that on YouTube, we think, is to subscribe to our channel.
