And normally what happens is the press would ask you that question, but she's been getting a free pass because the mainstream media has basically been operating as a division of the DNC and they're not holding her to account in any way. They're not requiring her to answer any questions. And as a result, yes, you're seeing this bounce in the polls, but
I think the question is, can she sustain this for 100 days? Can she really get through the entire election without having gone through a primary, without ever having to explain her positions on issues? And she just does these short scripted appearances. I just think that at some point over the next 100 days, that approach is just going to fall apart. She's going to have to do a debate.

No, listen, anyone who Trump chose was going to be absolutely smeared by the other side and by the media. If it had been Doug Burgum, there would have been nonstop coverage of the six week abortion bill that he signed. Right. You could go down the list. I mean, look, what Democrats will say is we just want to see a moderate Republican. But when Mitt Romney ran, they were calling him a fascist.

So the reality is that the mainstream media and the DNC, but I repeat myself, are going to smear anyone who's picked. At the end of the day, I don't think that it matters. What matters is the top of the ticket.

That's an interesting point of view. And let me just respond to that for a second. So one of our critiques of Biden, not just in this election cycle, but probably going back a year, is that Biden had become basically a figurehead president, almost a construct. And he was fronting for a shadow cabinet or a group of powerful staffers who are really running the country.

basically because of his cognitive decline. And we sort of joke that whoever the White House intern was who was running the social media accounts or the staffer who was running the teleprompter was basically the president because they could dictate what Biden said. Now, I think the question to ask is, has anything changed? Kamala Harris refuses to do any interviews.

Now, I think the question to ask is, has anything changed? Kamala Harris refuses to do any interviews.
She doesn't want to do any unscripted appearances. She's abandoned all of her policy positions that have been longstanding and were the reason why she ran for president in the first place in 2020. So the question to ask is, do we still have a construct as the president? I mean, the Biden staffers who are running Biden are now just running Harris. We don't know what she stands for.

We don't have her appearing in unscripted, natural ways. appearances. We don't have her being challenged by the press. She's not willing to do what Trump did. Trump just walked into the lion's den yet again at the NABJ.

Right, exactly. So Trump walks into a very hostile interview at NABJ. Harris was supposed to come and she didn't come. She would have gotten a very softball interview. She's not even willing to do that. I think that in substantive terms, I don't think that much has changed this election. The Biden staff is still running for president. I mean, that's what you're voting for.

She snubbed Netanyahu, Freeberg. I don't know what you're talking about. She snubbed Netanyahu.
