HOLY SH*T: Kamala just EXPOSED the DNC
Keith Edwards
0:01 Kla Harris is back in the news and this time
0:04 she's saying what a lot of us have been saying
0:07 that the DNC is messing up and they're creating more problems
0:11 for Democrats as we head towards the midterms and the 2028 elections.
0:16 Now, she was also asked if she's going to run again for president.
0:19 And here's what she had to say.
0:24 So, are you going to run again in 2018?
0:31 So here, let Okay.
0:34 You know, I tried to be subtle, but I just figured I'd go right at
0:38 Well, that's as subtle as Revl Charge could ever be.
0:42 We love you for many things, but not being subtle.
0:47 Um, listen, I might.
0:51 I might.
0:53 I'm thinking about it.
0:54 Well, it's been pretty clear that she is thinking about it.
0:58 She in this story I'm about to share with you.
1:02 She is clearly trying to set herself apart
1:06 from the other potential candidates in the 2028 field.
1:09 She's also trying to distance herself from the Biden administration.
1:14 And she's the only one who has been talking
1:16 about what happened with the Supreme Court last week.
1:20 Everyone, so we knew it was going to happen and it happened.
1:23 The United States Supreme Court essentially gutted the Voting Rights Act.
1:28 What does this mean?
1:29 It means that now in all these different states, a lot of them in the South,
1:34 these conservative legislatures are going to try to reddraw the lines,
1:41 redraw the maps around who can vote and who was going to be represented.
1:46 What now is going to happen is it's going to be
1:49 more difficult to challenge those laws that get passed that we
1:53 know are intended to make it more difficult for you
1:58 to have the representatives that you want at a local level,
2:02 state level, and congressional level.
2:03 And here's the bottom line.
2:06 They know that the power is with the people.
2:08 And they know that when people vote in their numbers, that's when change comes.
2:13 This means checking your voter registration status.
2:16 This means knowing where your polling place is.
2:18 They will try to make it more difficult, but we cannot be deterred.
2:23 People ask me, Kamla, why are you optimistic?
2:26 I'm optimistic cuz I know the power is with the people,
2:29 and I know that we're not going to let anybody take our power from us.
2:33 Interestingly, and you could tell me if I'm wrong,
2:35 I don't think there's been any other person who is a potential
2:38 candidate in the 2028 race talking about this issue like that.
2:43 I also think she's the only person really who's been going to the south.
2:46 So, she's being quite smart.
2:47 If she wants to be the nominee,
2:49 it does run through black voters and so she is speaking directly to them
2:54 and as we all should because black voters
2:56 really are the base of the Democratic party now.
3:00 So, not only is Kla Harris considering another run for president,
3:03 she's also signaling that she has no problem
3:05 with the public airing of what went wrong last time,
3:07 telling donors she believes the DNC should release
3:11 its buried autopsy of her failed 2024 campaign.
3:15 According to a person who has heard the conversations, I'm going to keep going.
3:19 Now, people got mad at me in the comments when
3:21 we I had a very nice conversation with Amanda Litman,
3:25 who is the executive director of Run for Something,
3:28 co-founder of Run for Something,
3:30 and we talked about how it just makes sense that we have
3:34 to figure out and be transparent with what went wrong in 2024.
3:39 We ran against Donald Trump.
3:40 No one is easier to beat than Donald Trump.
3:43 He is so unlikable.
3:45 And yet, we couldn't do it.
3:46 We have to figure out why.
3:47 Now, a lot of people in the comments got very upset with me,
3:49 saying that we can't look at the past and we can't focus on what went
3:53 wrong and we're just going to be giving
3:55 Republicans ammunition to hurt us in the future.
3:58 I don't think that any of that's true.
3:59 Turns out Kla Harris agrees with me.
4:01 While she indicated to donors that she had no issue with releasing it,
4:05 Harris has not discussed the postmortem with DNC chairman Ken Martin and did
4:09 not know about his decision to keep it under wraps until it happened.
4:13 The person said, "Like most prospective candidates,
4:16 Harris is staying involved in political affairs.
4:19 That includes touring the country, giving speeches to state parties,
4:22 developing the framework of a policy platform,
4:25 and sounding out fellow Democrats about her next chapter." Now,
4:30 some more news in this.
4:32 She recently asked Reverend Al Sharpton for his advice on her next steps.
4:36 According to a person familiar with their conversation,
4:40 Sharpton told her that she has nothing to prove,
4:42 having been the first woman and the first
4:44 woman of color elected the vice presidency.
4:46 According to a person who detailed the conversation in her 2024 bid
4:50 for the White House brought on by the late withdrawal of Joe Biden,
4:54 Harris collected more votes, 75 million, than any previous runnerup.
4:57 Al Sharpton told her that her legacy is secure,
5:01 but also warned her that if she were to run and lose again,
5:06 her legacy might be diminished.
5:08 Now, interestingly, nobody who spoke to NBC for this article
5:11 said that Kamla has made a decision and they
5:14 stressed that she wants to remain prominent in the political
5:16 arena whether or not she chooses to run.
5:19 It goes on to say here that Harris believes,
5:21 as do many in her inner circle, that if she runs for president again,
5:25 she won't be under the same constraints that she operated under in 2024,
5:30 a short window of time and strict adherence
5:32 to the policies of the administration she was serving in.
5:35 And then it goes on to say as well, this is very interesting,
5:39 that a person close to Harris previewed a potential pivot,
5:43 that she is signaling privately that she has more to say about
5:46 the Middle East now that she is freed from Biden White House policy,
5:50 this person said, adding that is she she is likely
5:52 to do so after the midterm elections that could be
5:55 done from the perspective of a party elder
5:58 or from the perspective of a candidate seeking votes, this person said.
6:03 And it goes on to say here too that she obviously,
6:05 as I said earlier, has a huge advantage with black voters.
6:08 Now, there's been some commentary about that autopsy.
6:11 Someone says here that what's amazing about this exchange
6:14 is that we all know what the autopsy says.
6:16 They know what we know.
6:17 This is all to avoid saying out loud in the vein that hope that Democratic
6:20 candidates can continue the same behavior
6:23 or some form of deniability and they cannot.
6:25 So, I'm going to ask you, do you think Kla Harris should run again?
6:28 Let me know in the comments below.
6:29 I personally believe anyone and everyone should run.
6:33 I'm saying anyone and everyone.
6:36 Mayor of a small town, governor of a large state,
6:41 senator of a Midwest state, billionaire, entrepreneur like Mark.
6:47 I think everyone should run.
6:49 We have got to find the best candidate available.
6:52 So, of course, Kla Harris should run.
6:54 I think anyone should run if they have the desire and if they have
6:59 a small amount of support because
7:03 from that we will find the very best candidate.
7:06 I say let them fight, let them run and we will get the best candidate possible.
7:12 Okay, that's how we ended up.
7:13 Let's be honest like Joe Biden was he the best
7:17 like was he my favorite person to become president?
7:20 No.
7:21 But it was a person we all agreed on.
7:22 Okay, this okay, we can all vote for Biden.
7:25 Same thing happened.
7:27 Actually, that's the last time we've had a really big open primary.
7:31 And so it worked out in our favor.
7:32 I think primaries are great.
7:34 I think everyone should run.
7:36 If Kla Harris wants to run, great.
7:37 If she doesn't want to run, great.
7:39 She should have a nice life.
7:40 Whatever she wants to do, I support it.
7:42 And we will get the best candidate when as many possible people run.
7:46 Now, I want to just follow up on a story we did a couple of days ago because,
7:50 as you know, we talked about Susan Collins.
7:53 No one else was talking about this, okay?
7:55 No one.
7:56 No one was talking about this.
7:58 Literally, I brought it up because I saw
8:01 her campaign video where she was shaking like this.
8:04 I've always known that she's been one to tremble.
8:08 She's had a shake in her voice, but it looked much worse.
8:11 And I tried to look into it and it
8:13 turned out she had never once been asked about it.
8:16 and she's never acknowledged what it is.
8:18 She's been in office for almost 30 years and she's never talked about it once.
8:23 She's never been asked about it.
8:24 So, I asked about it because I think when you're 73 years old,
8:28 you're running to be senator.
8:30 If you win, you will be 79 when you leave.
8:32 There are literally many people dying in office instead
8:37 of just retiring and letting younger people take the reigns.
8:40 I thought it was a legitimate question to ask.
8:42 A lot of people got mad at me because I said I was going below the belt.
8:46 I don't think this is an attack.
8:47 I think we just deserve to know the health of the people who want to serve us,
8:51 especially when people are dying in office.
8:54 Well, wouldn't you know it, for the first time ever,
8:59 Senator Susan Collins had to answer for this and made a statement about it.
9:04 This is not because the mainstream media was focused on this.
9:07 This is because you made this possible by sharing the video,
9:12 liking the video, commenting, and supporting the channel.
9:15 This is what I'm talking about.
9:16 This is why independent media is so important
9:19 because we ask the questions the mainstream media
9:22 avoids and then we build up enough support
9:25 and energy and then folks have to answer.
9:28 This is what we this is what literally what should all media should
9:31 do is they should challenge the powerful
9:34 with questions they don't want to answer.
9:36 I'm sorry.
9:37 That's about this woman's medical history,
9:39 but we deserve to know if someone who was old
9:42 and is running for office again if they're up for the job.
9:46 I'm Sounds like she's up for the job.
9:47 Let's just listen to what she had to say.
9:49 If you've watched Collins over the years,
9:51 you may have noticed a slight trembling in her hands and her head.
9:56 Now, for the first time,
9:58 the senator is publicly describing her medical condition
10:01 in an exclusive interview with News Center Maine.
10:04 What I have is an extremely common
10:08 condition that is called a benign essential tremor.
10:13 I have had it for the entire time
10:17 that I have served in the United States Senate.
10:20 It has absolutely no impact on my ability to do my job or on how I feel.
10:30 I'm going to link in the comments below that story we
10:33 did because if she's had it her entire career, that's fine.
10:37 We showed that it just did not exist when she first started.
10:40 It truly was not there.
10:41 It's gotten progressively worse.
10:43 Okay.
10:43 So, I and I know there's been many people who have commented pretty upset
10:47 that they have something like this and they feel like I'm like attacking them.
10:51 I'm not.
10:52 But we again we it could be part it could have been Parkinson's.
10:56 She never told us.
10:57 We deserve to know.
10:57 There should be some transparency around
11:00 our representatives health especially if it does look
11:04 like it's impacting their ability to serve
11:06 and especially when they're truly at retirement age.
11:10 Okay.
11:11 Now I personally believe she's still she should literally just retire.
11:16 like you've done so much well I don't want to say you've done
11:19 good work but you've served your community in the way that you felt
11:22 was best and apparently your community thought you were doing a great job
11:26 because they kept reelecting you but eventually you got to give it up like
11:30 there are eventually term limits like it's called death do you really want
11:34 to die in office it's just such a I think it's a small
11:37 sad way to live like give up power let other people take control
11:43 it's going to be okay you're not the only one who can do this.
11:46 There's other people who can do it.
11:48 Doesn't look like that's hard.
11:49 Okay.
11:50 And then I'm going to end with this because
11:51 Graham Platner came out with his first ever TV ad.
11:55 He's running for office in Maine.
11:57 He's running to defeat Susan Collins.
11:59 I personally believe he is going to become the next senator of Maine.
12:02 He's going to do what no one else has done before.
12:04 He's actually going to beat Susan Collins in a general election.
12:08 This right here is the message.
12:10 Susan Collins charade is over.
12:13 We don't care that you pretend to be remorseful at the start
12:17 of a new forever war that you chose to let happen.
12:20 We don't care that you are concerned while we go broke
12:24 as you sell us out to the president and to the Epstein
12:28 class who are engineering the greatest redistribution of wealth
12:32 from the working class to the ruling class in this nation's history.
12:36 Symbolic opposition doesn't reopen hospitals.
12:40 weak condemnations don't bring back Ro v Wayade and selling out the same
12:46 workingclass voters who've delivered mandate for change
12:50 after mandate for change is not forgivable
12:53 a performative politics that enables the destruction
12:57 of our way of life is disqualifying
13:01 as a United States senator I am running because it is time for change
