We have a big show today and we are kicking it off with Kamala Harris. We sat down with the former vice president on Juneteenth and she had a lot to say. The DOJ just opened an investigation to Gavin Newsom and his wife, and Newsom says Trump ordered it because he is thinking about running for president in 2028. Ashley Sinclair, the mother of one of Elon Musk's children, dropped new bombshell details this week, and they are significant. And the Knicks are going to the White House. The NBA champions just accepted Trump's invitation, and not everyone on that team is happy about it. Let's get into all of it. Well, since we're here and we're talking and we're speaking about politics, I want to ask you about, I don't know if you saw, um, the governor of California, uh, yesterday announcing that he believes that, well, not, he believes that the Trump administration is investigating him and his wife.
Don Lemon 0:47
What do you think of that? And how, how did we get to this moment where a president is using the justice department as his own personal law firm?
Kamala Harris 0:58
We had an election in 2024. And he pretty much told us he was going to do it and that's what he's doing.
Don Lemon 1:10
This is the Kamala Harris I love. You told us. I've said that to you before, Madam Vice President.
Kamala Harris 1:18
I'm not going to speak those words, but we all, so many of us predicted it and he told us. And it is clear every day that he meant what he said, whether it is the governor of California, whether it is Tish James, whether it is, you know.
Don Lemon 1:47
Journalists.
Kamala Harris 1:48
Journalists. Right. Using the, and Don, you know, I say this, I led the second largest Department of Justice in America, the California Department of Justice, using the Department of Justice as though it is his personal law firm. And by the way, putting in place to head that Department of Justice, which is the America's Department of Justice and putting in to head the Department of Justice, his personal lawyers. And he is treating the institutions that were designed to support and help the American people as though they were designed to help and support Donald Trump's personal interests. He is using these agencies to implement self-indulgence on his part. He is engaged in pure self-indulgence across the board.
Kamala Harris 2:50
Whatever will benefit himself and those close to him or those who facilitate his corruption,
Don Lemon 2:59
She's 27 years old. She got involved in conservative politics at 18, a teenager. She was recruited into Turning Point USA, which was Charlie Kirk's thing, right, under Charlie Kirk. She became a brand ambassador for Charlie Kirk's operation, a writer for the Babylon Bee. And then she wrote a children's book, mocking transgender people, said things on camera that when I played them back to her last night, she described as... disgust and remorse and disassociation that's how she described and i played a bunch of them you got to go look at it seriously we could we're going to put it up so you can get a um you know just a link where you can hit to hit it because it is i think this has gotten more comments than almost any of you any interview i've done she said that she got in to this because she was broken and she said hurt people hurt people

What did Kamala Harris say about the DOJ being used for political purposes?

Don Lemon 3:49
She wanted belonging, she said, and MAGA gave that belonging to her. And once you are in, she says, once your finances are there, once your social community is there, your entire identity wrapped up in it, that you cannot just change your mind. You have to blow up your whole life, she said. And I asked her, do you fear for your life? She said, yeah, right now, yes. Not past tense, but right now, she fears for her life. She is, yes, she worries about about the two most powerful or two of the most powerful men in the world she's concerned security the whole thing yes she alleged there are people watching her family the same vehicles following her showing up to her children's school outside her home an exorbitant amount of resources being poured into a campaign of harassment and intimidation against her that's what she says
Don Lemon 4:46
Now, look, as you guys know, and once this is all over, you're gonna hear about it, but I can certainly relate to her about those things in ways that I can't fully discuss right now.
