Will Harris bring in David Plouffe? Is JD Vance now a liability? And where's George Clooney?

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.720
Calarogu Shark Media from Washington, DC, where based on all the new listeners

2
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.359
we got today, we might be
beating Harris in the polls. This is

3
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.320
ballad, that's right, But don't
get used to me doing this twice a

4
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.559
day. Okay, big news day, Fine, random Thursday. I'm at

5
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:25.359
the bar at five, let's hit
this well. Well, well, folks,

6
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.960
looks like the Kamala Harris campaign is
trying to bring in the big guns,

7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.439
or should I say the big Pluff. That's right, David Pluff,

8
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.799
the mastermind behind Obama's rise to political
stardom, is being courted harder than a

9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.920
prom date by Harris's allies. It's
like they're trying to assemble the Avengers of

10
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:46.479
political strategists, and Pluff is their
iron man. Now why would they want

11
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.280
Pluff? Well, let's see,
he's not part of the Biden or Harris

12
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.799
inner circle. So he's like that
new kid at school who doesn't know all

13
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.560
the drama. Yet he's got connections
in Silicon Valley that would make Mark Zuckerberg

14
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:03.039
jealous. But here's the kicker.
They're not just looking for any old advice.

15
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.680
They want Pluff to help Harris pick
her VP It's like they're saying,

16
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.760
hey, David, remember how you
helped Obama become president. Yeah, we're

17
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.840
gonna need you to do that again, but this time with a plot twist.

18
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.079
And let's not forget about those Silicon
Valley connections. Pluff's rolodex is probably

19
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.640
worth more than some tech startups.
It's like he's got the cheat codes to

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:30.159
unlock campaign donations. So will Pluff
join team Harris? Will he be the

21
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.480
secret sauce that spices up her campaign
or will he decide to sit this one

22
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.920
out and watch the political circus from
the sidelines. Trump leads Harris by one

23
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:45.599
point five percent in an average of
eleven national polls conducted since Biden's debate disaster.

24
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.719
On June twenty seventh. According to
The Washington Post, the same average

25
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.799
showed Biden trailing Trump by one point
nine percent. That said, a smart

26
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.680
guy like David Pluff knows not to
worry about the popular vote. There's an

27
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.760
elect to real college to be one, and I'm not getting into that now

28
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.920
when I'm supposed to meet my friends
for a concert in thirty minutes. It

29
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.840
looks like Kamala Harris just hit the
political jackpot and her campaign coffers are overflowing

30
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:15.560
faster than a clumsy waiter with a
tray full of champagne. Eighty one million

31
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.400
dollars in twenty four hours. That's
not just breaking records, that's shattering them,

32
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.280
putting them in a blender, and
serving them up as a political smoothie.

33
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.280
It's like every Democrat in America suddenly
found a twenty dollars bill in their

34
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.800
coat pocket and thought, you know
what, I'm feeling generous today. And

35
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:37.520
let's talk about those eight hundred eighty
eight thousand grassroots donors. That's not just

36
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.759
a number. That's a small city. If these donors formed their own town,

37
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.400
they'd have enough people to fill Madison
Square Garden forty four times over.

38
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:50.639
Talk about a political rally. But
wait, there's more forty three thousand new

39
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.719
recurring donors. Harris's campaign team must
feel like they've hit the subscription service jackpot.

40
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.960
It's like Netflix, but instead of
binge watching shows, people are binged

41
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.800
donating to Harris. And half of
these folks are signing up for weekly donations.

42
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.120
It's like they're treating political contributions like
their weekly grocery shopping milk check,

43
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:15.719
eggs check donation to Kamala double check. Kevin Munos, Harris's campaign spokesman is

44
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:21.520
probably doing cartwheels right now. He's
talking about grassroots energy and enthusiasm like it's

45
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.919
a new renewable energy source. Who
knows. Maybe Harris has found a way

46
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.879
to power her campaign bus on pure
democratic excitement. All kinds of people have

47
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.759
donated to Harris over the years,
even Donald Trump Lol and oops, Donald

48
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.240
Trump, our resident King of nicknames, is revving up his insult engine for

49
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.319
Kamala Harris. But wait, what's
that in his rear view mirror? Oh,

50
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.879
just a five thousand dollars check with
his John Hancock on It made out

51
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.000
to none other than Attorney General Kamala
D. Harris. That's right, ladies

52
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.840
and gentlemen. Trump's got more baggage
with Harris than a lost luggage claim at

53
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.680
O'Hare Airport. It's like he accidentally
prepaid for his own attack ads. This

54
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.680
isn't just a one off donation,
It's a Trump family affair. Evanka got

55
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.840
in on the action too, tossing
two thousand dollars Harris's way. It's like

56
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.319
they were playing political fantasy football and
Harris was their first round draft pick.

57
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.160
Now Trump's trying to explain this away
faster than a magician at a kid's party.

58
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.120
It was just a favor, he
says, sure, Jan, But

59
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:25.759
here's the kicker. Harris can't even
use this money for her twenty twenty four

60
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:41.439
campaign. She's already donated it to
charity. Politico is wondering if, with

61
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.079
Biden out of the race, JD. Vance is the wrong VP pick for

62
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.199
Trump. It's like they're playing political
Jenga and they just pulled out the wrong

63
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:53.120
block. Vance might have seemed like
a smart choice when Biden was in the

64
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.800
race, but now it's like bringing
a butter knife to a gunfight. Why

65
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.120
you ask? Well, with Kamala
Harris likely to lead the Democratic ticket,

66
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.720
we're suddenly in what Politico is calling
the Year of the Woman. It's like

67
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:10.879
the political equivalent of a gender reveal
party, but instead of pink or blue

68
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.800
smoke, we've got red and blue
ballots. Now, let's talk about Vance's

69
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.680
track record with women's issues. It's
about as smooth as a cactus in a

70
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:24.160
sandstorm. He's got more controversial statements
than a shock jock radio host, from

71
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:29.199
suggesting women should stay in abusive marriages
to calling child free folks, childless cat

72
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.639
ladies. Vance has been collecting foot
in mouth moments like their Pokemon cards.

73
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:39.040
And let's not forget his flip flopping
on abortion. He's changed positions more times

74
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.959
than a yoga instructor. First he
wanted a national band with no exceptions.

75
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.800
Now he's singing Trump's leave it to
the State's tune. It's like watching a

76
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:53.480
political weather vane in a hurricane.
Meanwhile, women voters are looking at the

77
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.920
Trump Vance ticket like it's a bad
blind date their friends set them up on.

78
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.759
With women making up fifty one percent
of the voteading age population, that's

79
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.720
a lot of potential swiping left.
So here we are, folks. Trump's

80
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.879
got a VP who might be about
as helpful in winning women's votes as a

81
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.800
chocolate teapot is at making tea.
Will they be able to turn this ship

82
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.839
around? Or will the ss Trump
Vance hit the iceberg of women's issues and

83
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.759
sink faster than you can say Titanic. Anyway, it's not like Trump is

84
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:28.800
known for firing people. Vance is
definitely on the ticket forever. The Republicans

85
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.800
have their hands full as it is
with a really old guy on top of

86
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.839
their ticket, a man who would
be in his eighties, near the end

87
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.319
of his term, and we all
know how that goes. See you in

88
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:38.720
the morning,
