So they fundamentally cannot admit the truth that we all saw, you know, as they were telling us, who are you going to believe us or our lying eyes? I want to make a point about, well, first about Harris and then about that Jill Biden clip. I thought it was very classy that for a long time,

Kamala Harris refused to criticize Biden, not that she shouldn't have had a very clear policy agenda to say, here is what he did and here is where I will go. But she refused to engage in the sort of George Clooney, Obama backstabbing. And I thought that that was pretty classy of her.

Although after the fact, with the reporting of him threatening her and saying, you know, no daylight or whatever, it complicates it a little bit.

This clip with Jill Biden, you watch that and it's almost like you're watching your grandparents, right?

Like your grandmother sort of talking up how great shape your grandpa is in. And it's sort of sweet and charming, except that he was the president.
