She snubbed Netanyahu, Freeberg. I don't know what you're talking about. She snubbed Netanyahu.
Hold on a second. I think on Israel... So first of all, she didn't write that statement. The staff did. Okay. Now, what is the staff trying to accomplish on Israel? They actually have a genuine dilemma on the whole Israel-Palestine issue because... The Democrat Party is very much split on this. The Democrat establishment is pro-Israel, but the progressive base is very pro-Palestine.

And even polling among youth shows significant support for Hamas even. And a lot of these people are very much within the sort of hardcore left-wing base of the Democrat Party. So what the Biden administration has been doing and what I think Harris is continuing is a process of talking out of both sides of their mouth.

Biden went to Israel, bear hugged Bibi, basically supported his policy, but then gave some lip service to the idea that he would limit the weapons that Israel is able to use. Harris puts out this very pro-Israel statement, but then snubs Netanyahu at that speech he gave before Congress. So look, the Democrats are trying to have it both ways. They have a base that is fractured on this issue.

And so they're trying to thread that needle. Now, you're right that this is up a level. Let's move off the Israel issue for a second. There's no question that Harris wants to run from her record as being Biden's vice president. There's a good reason for that. The Biden-Harris administration is historically unpopular. What you have to ask, though, is whether it's credible.

Harris suddenly is in favor of more money for Border Patrol. Why didn't she advocate for that when she was president? Biden's border czar. The media is furiously scrubbing its websites to remove references. Hold on. They're removing historical references from during the Biden administration when she was openly called the border czar. They're trying to memory hole that.

So look, I have no doubt that the Harris campaign wants to drop every substantive policy position she's ever taken because they just want her to be a construct. They just want people to be excited because.

Well, it might be if the press lets her get away with it.

No, I mean, look, what kind of president do you want? I mean, I want the president who is fearless and willing to walk into the lion's den over and over again and answer tough questions. What you saw in that soundbite here is that Rachel Scott, the interviewer, that whatever she was doing is not journalism. This is supposed to be a journalism association. She turned that interview into an ambush.

It was it was hostile what she did and right out of the gate. I mean, the first question she's attacking him and he pushed back on it. I mean, I think you saw him push back on the media in a way that only Trump can do. Now, you also heard there, I think, a really key point that Harris basically passed on the opportunity to attend when she was originally supposed to.

That would have been a softball interview for her, but she is not willing to do any kind of interview right now. No questions, no unscripted appearances. She just wants to read from a teleprompter. That rally she did in Atlanta that had Megan Thee Stallion perform, so it was a free concert. That... drew out a huge number of people.
