This election, for the first time ever, I told the audience who I am voting for. I announced that I was voting for Donald Trump, and I have explained why here. In this piece, I will lay out why I do not think you should vote for Kamala Harris.
I know there are Republicans, independents, and Democrats in this audience, and I am begging those of you who are still thinking about voting for Kamala Harris to reconsider.
What is Kamala Harris going to do as president? We have no idea. She hasn’t told us. She has used a lot of empty rhetoric to hide who she really is, which is the most radical leftist senator in the U.S. Senate prior to ascending to the vice presidency.
Harris’ Policy Positions
She has disavowed few, if any, of her almost Marxist or actual Marxist positions. When she was running for president in 2019, she said she wanted a ban fracking. Now, she says she won’t. A few years ago, she wanted to take away your private health insurance and put us all on the government dole. Now she says she doesn’t. A few years ago, she said she wanted to ban gas-powered cars. Now she says she doesn’t, though she and her boss have that in the works already.
She is still on record, to this moment, supporting taxpayer-funded sex change operations for illegal immigrants and prisoners, a ban on some portion of our red meat offerings, a ban on offshore drilling (she has tried to walk back the latter without explanation). She wants to eliminate the filibuster to pass the radical Green New Deal.
A Note on Abortion
She wants to eliminate the filibuster to pass an abortion rights bill. I went in-depth on the abortion issue on Friday. You can read up on my thoughts here. But I need my pro-choice friends who think Kamala Harris is going to pass a national abortion rights bill to understand that she is not going to do that because she cannot do that.
The only possible way she could do that (assuming Democrats maintain control of the Senate) is to eliminate the filibuster and change the standard for a vote to just 51 votes. Right now, you can’t get a vote on any legislation unless you have 60 votes. That ensures minority rights in the Senate, which may be annoying when you are in the majority but you love it when your party is in the minority.
If they change it to a 51-vote threshold – even if they limit it to just on abortion rights, as Kamala Harris is saying – what do you think that does? Let’s assume that they have the congressional power to actually pass an abortion rights bill, which they do not (see Friday’s show). They don’t have the constitutional ability to do that in Congress. It is not a federal matter. It is a states’ rights matter.
In any event, let’s say she wins and she pushes through an abortion rights bill in the U.S. Congress, including the U.S. Senate by just 51 votes. Let’s say the bill somehow withstands a legal challenge and we are back to the Roe v. Wade regime.
To my pro choice friends: What have they just opened the door for?
That behavior is an acknowledgement that abortion can be regulated at the federal level and that nationwide policy can be set by the party in control, with just a 51 vote majority in the Senate. Do you really think there will be no time in the future in which we have a Republican pro-life president, a Republican majority in the Senate, and a Republican majority in the House that might be inclined to pass a nationwide ban? You really think that is such an impossibility that you want to get rid of minority rights in the Senate, which means getting rid of the filibuster? You want to take that gamble right now?
Eliminating the filibuster changes the U.S. Senate forevermore. Kamala Harris saying she wants to eliminate the filibuster to pass an abortion rights bill is extremely dangerous for both sides. Trust me on the abortion issue. I have researched this. I practiced law for a decade. No good will come to you in getting rid of the filibuster and strong-arming through an abortion rights federal law.
On Law and Order
Moving on. She apparently no longer wants to decriminalize illegal border crossings, but I am not totally sure because she really won’t say much about it. She certainly hasn’t committed to any deportations of the between 10 and 20 million illegals who came in during the Biden administration. She never talks about deportations. She only talks about a pathway to citizenship.
She wants to cut back on cops – she has made that clear. She said she wanted a mandatory buyback program for guns in America, which would also likely be unconstitutional. Now under pressure in this campaign, she claims she owns a gun and she doesn’t want a mandatory buyback program. But she does back an assault weapons ban that would make even certain kinds of semi-automatic handguns illegal. Good luck with that.
She wants public funding of healthcare for illegals. I am sorry, but I don’t want to pay for the dental work of the illegals who are killing our children. Maybe it is just me. I also do not want the lure to the other illegals who are thinking about coming here once she reopens our borders, which she absolutely will. Most of the parents can barely pay for their own health care, never mind the health care of the people pushing the fentanyl down our college kids throats.
The Culture Wars
Culturally, Kamala Harris says she wants us to be “as woke as possible.” She invited men in dresses with beards to the White House. She allowed men with fake breasts posing as women to expose those breasts on the White House lawn. She thinks Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine is a woman and has no problem with him pushing gender transitions on minors.
Kamala Harris raised money to bail out BLM rioters in Minnesota who hurt civilians and cops. She told Jacob Blake, who threatened cops with a knife, that she was proud of him. She is as woke as they come and don’t think for one second she has checked that at the White House door. She just hasn’t been centerstage for these four years.
She is a big believer in equity, which means we all have a right to end up in the same place irrespective of how much hard work goes into it or merit goes into it. If we all end up at the same place, your neighbor has a right to your job, your home, and your things even if he doesn’t work as hard as you do.
That is Kamala Harris’s America. This is her core belief. It is Marxist and she has not abandoned it. She does not believe in merit because she has not advanced on merit. She transferred into Howard University. She got into law school on a diversity crutch. She failed the bar exam her first time out. She got into the San Francisco district attorney’s office and then began an affair with the most powerful man in California politics, Willie Brown, who was some 40 years her senior.
Who Is Kamala Harris?
No one in the Biden White House believed in her. They tried to hide her for four years. She made a fool of herself as vice president, and even Barack Obama knew it. He was one of the last people, reportedly, to come on board with Kamala Harris replacing Joe Biden on the ticket because he is smart enough to know she can’t do it.
She is a bully who lost more than 92 percent of her staff. They left in droves, alleging that she was abusive, lazy, would not do the work, and then would blame others. This woman has run for president on nothing more than empty words. You have heard them a million times.
She is trying to fool you into believing she is a ‘generic Democrat’ because a ‘generic Democrat’ is shown to beat Doanld Trump in the polls. But she is not. She is a San Francisco liberal who will pull this country even further to the left than it has already been pulled. She will triple down on race essentialism, the trans madness, unnecessary surgeries and scandalous sterilization of minors, exclusion of parents from their kids in schools where they are having soft porn pushed on them in the libraries and in the classrooms, not to mention the subjugation of boys and men.
She will reopen the southern border. She will let the Trump tax cuts expire. As corporate America sees its taxes skyrocket, you will lose jobs. The inflation pain she and Joe Biden caused will be coupled with the loss of your job and your benefits.
And God help you if you are white, or a man, or, God forbid, both when you hit the unemployment line. If you check those boxes in Kamala Harris’ America, you are not even in the back of the line. You are not in line at all. In fact, you are to blame for all of our problems.
It is a modern day form of reparations that she is unleashing on American men without owning it. And by the way, her push for reparations is yet another policy position she refuses to say whether she stands by.
‘A Dangerous Idiot’
She is an idiot, but she is a dangerous idiot. She will get eaten alive by Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. No one will fear us. She cannot make decisions. The 3am phone call will leave her paralyzed with fear and indecision. She will fail in negotiations with her adversaries because she cannot think on her feet.
She is a silly person. Her cackle and unfunny jokes have a deleterious effect on her image, and that image cannot be that of our president. People don’t respect her as they must our president – let alone our first female president.
The first woman to become U.S. president must be someone whose intelligence is unassailable, whose facility with the spoken word is something to admire, who could make a point sharply and with ease and with substance without breaking a sweat. We have had female leaders in the world just like this. Consider U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Even if you hated her politics, you would not challenge her intelligence. That is not Kamala Harris.
They say Kamala Harris will break barriers as the first woman president, but her election will set women back decades because she is not a smart person. The first female president must be someone our little girls can actually look up to. It must be someone who neither side can question when it comes to her credentials and her ability to do the job. Otherwise, there won’t be another one for years. Her incompetence will be chalked up to the fact that she is female. This is about to set us back, not push us forward.
Someone should break this barrier, and that person should not and cannot be Kamala Harris.
