0:02
Speaker 1: Jist.
0:02
Speaker 2: I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
0:04
Speaker 2: and everybody.
0:06
Speaker 1: You don't know if you don't lie about that, right, Lauren, Hey, y'all,
0:09
Speaker 1: what's up.
0:10
Speaker 2: It's Laura l Rosa and this is the latest with
0:13
Speaker 2: Laura l Rosa. This is your Deli dig on all
0:15
Speaker 2: things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the conversations
0:20
Speaker 2: that shake the room. Now today we are going to
0:23
Speaker 2: be diving into Kamala Harris's book one hundred and seven
0:27
Speaker 2: Days Now. The book has not been released yet, but
0:31
Speaker 2: there was a three thousand word epsert from the book
0:35
Speaker 2: published in the Atlantic which has been making the round.
0:38
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris comes out and talks about how she really
0:42
Speaker 2: felt about Biden running for reelection back in twenty twenty four,
0:46
Speaker 2: and she's questioning whether this was loyalty, a great decision,
0:51
Speaker 2: or was it recklessness And she says that it was
0:53
Speaker 2: reckless for her to allow him to move forward with
0:57
Speaker 2: running for reelection.
0:59
Speaker 1: During that time.
1:00
Speaker 2: Now, this is interesting because, as you guys know, we
1:02
Speaker 2: have all been waiting to hear an honest truth about
1:08
Speaker 2: how she really felt watching Joe Biden run for reelection
1:12
Speaker 2: knowing that he shouldn't have knowing that even if because
1:16
Speaker 2: even in this three thousand word epsird, Kamala Harri still
1:20
Speaker 2: says that there was no big scheme to cover up
1:23
Speaker 2: the fact that Joe Biden was incoherent. She says, many
1:27
Speaker 2: people want to spend a narrative in some big conspiracy
1:29
Speaker 2: at the White House to hide Joe Biden's infirmity. Here's
1:33
Speaker 2: the truth as I lived it. Joe Biden was a
1:35
Speaker 2: smart guy with a long experience and deep conviction, able
1:38
Speaker 2: to discharge the duties of president.
1:41
Speaker 1: On his worst day.
1:42
Speaker 2: He was more deeply knowledgeable, more capable of exercising judgment,
1:46
Speaker 2: and far more compassionate than Donald Trump on his best.
1:50
Speaker 2: But at eighty one, Joe got tired. That's when his
1:53
Speaker 2: age showed in his physical and verbal stumbles. I don't
1:56
Speaker 2: think it's any surprise that the debate debacle happened right
2:00
Speaker 2: after two back to back trips to Europe, in a
2:03
Speaker 2: flight to the West Coast for a Hollywood fundraiser. I
2:07
Speaker 2: don't believe it was incapacity. If I believe that, I
2:10
Speaker 2: would have said so. As loyal as I am the
2:12
Speaker 2: President Biden, I am more loyal to my country.
2:15
Speaker 1: So don't get Kamala Harris twisted.
2:18
Speaker 2: Right. She is still saying, look, we weren't trying to
2:20
Speaker 2: cover up the fact that there was anything wrong with
2:23
Speaker 2: him health bossed despite the fact that the man is
2:25
Speaker 2: eighty some years old and when he gets tired things
2:28
Speaker 2: begin to slow down.
2:30
Speaker 1: And this was after a long work week.
2:33
Speaker 2: But I mean, no, I don't believe this part of it,
2:37
Speaker 2: but I do appreciate her being honest to other parts.
2:40
Speaker 2: So we're going to get into exactly what she says.
2:44
Speaker 2: So the epsort in the Atlantic starts on the day
2:48
Speaker 2: that Kamala Harris went to go speak in front of
2:50
Speaker 2: a sorority caused Zeta Phi Beta. It is a part
2:52
Speaker 2: of the Divine Nine, which are the black Greek organizations.
2:56
Speaker 2: Sororities and fraternities make up the Divine Nine. Kamala Harris
2:59
Speaker 2: is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Aka, which is
3:02
Speaker 2: one of the first Greek letter organizations.
3:05
Speaker 1: Now, I remember when.
3:07
Speaker 2: This happened, and it was the room was full of
3:09
Speaker 2: about six thousand people when she went to go speak
3:12
Speaker 2: to them. I remember when this happened because Kamala got
3:15
Speaker 2: so much slack for deciding to go there and speak
3:18
Speaker 2: to the women of Zeta Phi Beta instead of going
3:21
Speaker 2: to another highly publicized event. And she says it in
3:27
Speaker 2: the episode that I read as well, that you know,
3:30
Speaker 2: if unless you really understand the connectivity the importance in
3:34
Speaker 2: the power of the Divine Nine of Greek letter organizations,
3:38
Speaker 2: Black Greek letter organizations, you don't understand why she chose
3:42
Speaker 2: to be there. But at this point, she's very early
3:45
Speaker 2: in everything, the race conversations, the you know everything, so
3:50
Speaker 2: going to her core where it really mattered and made sense,
3:54
Speaker 2: even if they.
3:54
Speaker 1: Weren't directly saying, that's why she did.
3:57
Speaker 2: Us black people, we knew what this was doing because
4:00
Speaker 2: we knew and we still know to this day, the
4:03
Speaker 2: importance of community amongst black people, especially Divine nine Greek organizations.
4:07
Speaker 2: Not only do they run culture on HBCUs, but even
4:10
Speaker 2: following graduation into the world, the Divine Nine gets busy.
4:15
Speaker 2: So she talks about being there and she says, Kamala
4:18
Speaker 2: Harris says, I was in a room full of people
4:20
Speaker 2: with whom, because of our shared experience, certain words did
4:24
Speaker 2: not need to be said.
4:25
Speaker 1: Oh baby, I felt that.
4:27
Speaker 2: There's an emotion that comes from being in a place
4:29
Speaker 2: where people see you, support you, and know you. The
4:33
Speaker 2: kindness and the love in that room penetrated the armor
4:36
Speaker 2: I usually wore armor I need to put back on
4:40
Speaker 2: as soon as I left that room. Now, Kamala Harris
4:43
Speaker 2: does talk about in this ebsurd a bit just feeling overlooked,
4:46
Speaker 2: undervalued her position, not you know, being one of substance
4:51
Speaker 2: or treated like it was one of substance behind the scenes,
4:53
Speaker 2: and how her team had to fight for her often
4:55
Speaker 2: we'll get into that.
4:56
Speaker 1: So once she speaks, she opens up.
4:58
Speaker 2: In that setting with Zeta phi beta and says, you know,
5:01
Speaker 2: she's giving her speech, and she's like, and when I
5:03
Speaker 2: become president, and she talks about how loud the crowd cheered,
5:07
Speaker 2: and let's take a listen to that speech.
5:08
Speaker 3: Actually, you know, when he was president, Donald Trump, former president,
5:12
Speaker 3: hand picked three members of the United States Supreme Court
5:15
Speaker 3: because he.
5:15
Speaker 1: Intended for them to overturn Roe v.
5:18
Speaker 3: Wade, the United States Supreme Court previously the Court of
5:22
Speaker 3: Thurgood and RBG.
5:26
Speaker 1: And as he intended they did.
5:29
Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you something. When I am President
5:31
Speaker 3: of the United States, and when Congress passes along to
5:37
Speaker 3: restore those freedoms, I will sign it into law.
5:44
Speaker 2: Now reading this Ebsurd and understanding kind of where she
5:48
Speaker 2: was and some of the things that she was dealing with.
5:50
Speaker 2: And when I say where she was, I mean just
5:52
Speaker 2: like mentally and spiritually. It seems like you're reading this Ebsurd.
5:56
Speaker 2: Kamala had gotten almost to a place of autopilot a bit,
6:00
Speaker 2: in my opinion, because she talks a lot about having
6:04
Speaker 2: to prove her loyalty in the office over and over
6:07
Speaker 2: and over again. She talks a lot about her team
6:11
Speaker 2: having to fight for her for certain things. She says,
6:14
Speaker 2: I was well aware of my delicate status. Laura has
6:17
Speaker 2: it that every outgoing chief of staff always tells the
6:21
Speaker 2: incoming president chief of staff rule number one, watch the VP,
6:25
Speaker 2: because I going after him over Bussing in the twenty
6:28
Speaker 2: nineteen primary debate. I came into the White House with
6:31
Speaker 2: what we lawyers call a rebuttal presumption. I had to
6:35
Speaker 2: prove my loyalty time and time again because she wasn't
6:38
Speaker 2: the biggest Biden fan in the beginning of all of this,
6:40
Speaker 2: which was no secret, but Biden at the same time,
6:43
Speaker 2: and that's why, oh my god, like, as a black
6:45
Speaker 2: woman reading this, what the feeling that I hated? And
6:49
Speaker 2: it's crazy because I feel like as black women, as
6:52
Speaker 2: black people, we have like a language that we speak
6:56
Speaker 2: with sometimes without even saying words.
6:58
Speaker 1: It can be hand gesture, it can be the way
7:00
Speaker 1: you move your hit.
7:01
Speaker 2: It can be you know, the laugh, the giggle, the
7:03
Speaker 2: side eye, and a lot of Kamala Harris's responses, whether
7:08
Speaker 2: she was in debates, or she was at speaking engagements
7:11
Speaker 2: or you know anything public eye when we saw her,
7:15
Speaker 2: there were so many times where that language was happening
7:18
Speaker 2: between us and her, us and her, but a lot
7:22
Speaker 2: of what she's talking about here in this episode, I
7:25
Speaker 2: feel like we knew, especially black women.
7:27
Speaker 1: I feel like we knew that there was a lot that.
7:31
Speaker 2: She wanted to say in wouldn't or couldn't, that she
7:35
Speaker 2: wanted to do and wouldn't or couldn't. And I also
7:38
Speaker 2: think that as black people, we knew that pushing for
7:43
Speaker 2: her to get on the ticket with Biden and making
7:45
Speaker 2: that one of the you have to do this if
7:48
Speaker 2: you want us to vote for you things, I feel like,
7:52
Speaker 2: in my opinion, you know, as a person that voted
7:55
Speaker 2: for the Biden.
7:55
Speaker 1: Harris campaign, I wanted our.
7:59
Speaker 2: Support and us rallying together and our pressure that we
8:02
Speaker 2: put on Biden. I wanted it to be a message
8:05
Speaker 2: to Kamala that they had to tread lightly with her.
8:08
Speaker 2: They had to talk to her very nice because she
8:10
Speaker 2: had all of us behind her. If they did not
8:14
Speaker 2: when she got in the White House, I felt like
8:16
Speaker 2: even if she felt like that, or at one point
8:19
Speaker 2: felt like that, she.
8:21
Speaker 1: Had to put it to the side. It was like
8:22
Speaker 1: she had to play nights.
8:23
Speaker 2: She had to dress up small wave, you know, the
8:27
Speaker 2: duality of black people, the code switching. She had to
8:30
Speaker 2: do all the things which we know that's a part
8:32
Speaker 2: of the walk and talk of a black person in America.
8:35
Speaker 2: But we put her there because we wanted her to
8:39
Speaker 2: feel comfortable enough.
8:40
Speaker 1: To say fuck all that. And that is not what happened.
8:43
Speaker 2: So she continues, and she says, when Fox News attacked
8:47
Speaker 2: me on everything from my laugh to my tone of voice,
8:50
Speaker 2: to whom I dated in my twenties.
8:52
Speaker 1: She's talking about former Mayor Willie Brown.
8:54
Speaker 2: When Fox News attacked me on everything from my lave
8:57
Speaker 2: to my tone of voice, to whom I dated in
8:59
Speaker 2: my twenties, poor claimed I was a DEI hire. The
9:02
Speaker 2: White House rarely pushed back with my actual resume. Two
9:07
Speaker 2: terms elected da top cop in the second largest Department
9:11
Speaker 2: of Justice in the United States. Senator representing one in
9:14
Speaker 2: eight Americans, Lorian vows, my chief of staff constantly had
9:19
Speaker 2: to advocate for my role at events. She's just not
9:22
Speaker 2: gonna stand here like a pouted plant. Give her two
9:26
Speaker 2: minutes of remarks, have her introduced the president. They had
9:30
Speaker 2: a huge comms team, but they had Kareem John Pierre
9:34
Speaker 2: briefing in the press room every day. But getting anything
9:38
Speaker 2: positive said about my work on any defense against untrue
9:41
Speaker 2: attacks was almost impossible. Now that right there is tea
9:46
Speaker 2: because I mean it's a white house, so of course
9:48
Speaker 2: they have a huge comms team. But her pointing to
9:51
Speaker 2: the fact that they had Kareem John Pierre briefing in
9:56
Speaker 2: the press room every day, another black woman, getting anything
10:00
Speaker 2: positive said in defense to my attacks was almost impossible,
10:06
Speaker 2: And I don't know. And look, the way that normally
10:09
Speaker 2: works is that when people remove themselves from politics, we
10:11
Speaker 2: find out about the truth their truths about the politics
10:15
Speaker 2: they dived in and the work that they did. Like
10:17
Speaker 2: I think Kareem was also in a position as well too,
10:21
Speaker 2: where it's like you gotta do the walk, do the dance, whatever.
10:26
Speaker 2: But I'm not excusing it because I believe and I
10:30
Speaker 2: feel like when you're in these positions where you are
10:36
Speaker 2: one of few, one of only, you have like it's
10:41
Speaker 2: so crazy to even think about. It's actually kind of
10:43
Speaker 2: sad in twenty twenty five that have to sit here
10:45
Speaker 2: and even think about how to say this the right
10:47
Speaker 2: way when you're in these positions, especially as a black woman.
10:52
Speaker 2: One of the biggest things I learned, especially when you're
10:54
Speaker 2: in space, is that are very white, very misunderstanding of you,
10:59
Speaker 2: your tone, your you're everything. She's in a position of
11:02
Speaker 2: power right at this point, Kamala Harris. But you're not though,
11:06
Speaker 2: Like you are, but you're not though. When you're in
11:08
Speaker 2: that position, one of the things I've learned is it's
11:11
Speaker 2: almost like playing chess, like you have to learn how
11:15
Speaker 2: to knock everything off the board and get to what
11:17
Speaker 2: you want done without people feeling like you're powerful or
11:22
Speaker 2: you have power. You almost have to like, you know,
11:26
Speaker 2: you take all the hits, you take all of the
11:29
Speaker 2: you know, all of the stones, everything that is thrown
11:32
Speaker 2: at you, you go through it, and then one day,
11:35
Speaker 2: randomly the people in power standing right next to you,
11:38
Speaker 2: who for some reason were able to not be empathetic
11:42
Speaker 2: to anything they watch you experience in real time for
11:47
Speaker 2: several reasons, because maybe you know a lot of times
11:49
Speaker 2: it's you know, you're a woman and their man, or
11:52
Speaker 2: you know, of course color, her being a black woman
11:55
Speaker 2: has a lot to do with it, and them just
11:57
Speaker 2: not seeing the necessity or the need or understanding culturally
12:02
Speaker 2: how attacked a black woman is, especially when she's in
12:04
Speaker 2: a position of power and having to utilize, show and
12:09
Speaker 2: exercise that power the way that you have to learn
12:12
Speaker 2: duality and learn to be weak to be strong. It's
12:18
Speaker 2: very sad, and it's sad to hear her say that
12:22
Speaker 2: she specifically pointed out, you know, Kareem John Pierre, because
12:25
Speaker 2: she's the person speaking and briefing the press every day,
12:28
Speaker 2: but also she's a black woman in a position to communicate.
12:35
Speaker 2: She's talking about to communicate. But at the same time,
12:38
Speaker 2: I've had conversations with people about Kareean Jean Pierre and
12:42
Speaker 2: her coming out, you know, as neither the Democrat or
12:46
Speaker 2: Republican after leaving you know, her role and all the
12:49
Speaker 2: things who say she was also in that same position,
12:53
Speaker 2: which is very understandable. It is very understandable, but I
12:56
Speaker 2: do think this screams to me that Kamala was looking
13:01
Speaker 2: for an advocate on the inside and did not feel
13:04
Speaker 2: like she had it, nor did she feel like she
13:06
Speaker 2: had anywhere to turn. And the people who were advocating
13:09
Speaker 2: for her the strengthened numbers, and she didn't have the numbers,
13:12
Speaker 2: she says. An example of this is in twenty twenty one,
13:15
Speaker 2: She says, I was dispatched to help reset the US's
13:19
Speaker 2: tattered relationship with France after we signed the Australia UK
13:23
Speaker 2: US Security Path. Australia had agreed to buy submarines from France,
13:29
Speaker 2: but scrapped that contract when we in the UK agreed
13:33
Speaker 2: to supply Australia with nuclear subs under a new agreement instead.
13:38
Speaker 2: This had caused tremendous friction in our meeting. Emmanuel Macaron
13:42
Speaker 2: and I warmed the chill by focusing on our many
13:45
Speaker 2: areas of cooperation such as space or exploration, climate change,
13:49
Speaker 2: Translantic security, cybersecurity.
13:52
Speaker 1: In the Indo Pacific.
13:53
Speaker 2: On that trip, I was invited to visit the renowned
13:56
Speaker 2: Pastorier Institute, where my mother had worked on MRI research
14:00
Speaker 2: related to breast cancer. I was speaking informally with the
14:04
Speaker 2: scientists there about how I wish politicians were more closely
14:07
Speaker 2: followed the scientistic method testing a hypothesis and adjusting according
14:12
Speaker 2: to results, rather than coming in with the plan as
14:15
Speaker 2: if they had already entered upfront. I said the plan
14:18
Speaker 2: with an exaggerated emphasis in air quotes. Fox News, the
14:22
Speaker 2: New York Posts, and New Max went while claiming I
14:25
Speaker 2: faked a French accent.
14:27
Speaker 3: We campaigned with the plan uppercase t uppercase p D planned.
14:33
Speaker 3: We're expected to defend d plan.
14:36
Speaker 2: That was totally nonsense, But the White House seemed glad
14:40
Speaker 2: to let reporting about my gaff overwhelm the significant thaw
14:44
Speaker 2: in foreign relations that I achieved. So basically, they let
14:47
Speaker 2: the They let all of the the craziness fly when
14:50
Speaker 2: it came to her, you know, the nonsense news, the
14:52
Speaker 2: sensationalized headlines. You know, I remember one point people were
14:55
Speaker 2: mad about her, Chuck Taylor's like things of that nature.
14:57
Speaker 2: She says, they never made it a point to point
15:00
Speaker 2: out the real work she was doing.
15:03
Speaker 1: She was the distraction. She was a test dummy.
15:06
Speaker 2: She was thrown into situations, or when situations what happened,
15:09
Speaker 2: they would use her as a distractor.
15:10
Speaker 1: She would have to bite the bullet. Even worse she says.
15:20
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris says, I often learned that the president's staff
15:22
Speaker 2: was adding fuel to negative narratives that sprang up around me.
15:26
Speaker 2: One narrative that took a stubborn hole was that I
15:29
Speaker 2: had a chaotic office and unusually high staff turnover during
15:33
Speaker 2: my first year. The plain fact is many people who
15:37
Speaker 2: come to work with the new administration in the White
15:39
Speaker 2: House haven't done it before. It's a job unlike any other,
15:42
Speaker 2: and not every person, no matter how talented in their
15:45
Speaker 2: former position, can step up into such a high stress,
15:47
Speaker 2: around the clock role. Others find that they just don't
15:50
Speaker 2: want the job that doesn't pay particularly well, that it
15:53
Speaker 2: takes a massive toll on your family and rules out
15:56
Speaker 2: anything resembling to a normal life. I'm not going to
15:58
Speaker 2: keep people on who can't thrive at their jobs. It's
16:02
Speaker 2: not fair to them and it's not good for the country.
16:05
Speaker 2: So the first year in any White House see staff turnover.
16:09
Speaker 2: Working for the first woman vice president, my staff had
16:11
Speaker 2: the additional challenge of confronting gender stereotypes, a constant battle that.
16:16
Speaker 1: Could prove exhausting.
16:18
Speaker 2: I was the first vice president to have a dedicated
16:20
Speaker 2: press pool tracking my every public move before me, vice
16:24
Speaker 2: presidents had what's called a supplemental pool, as the first
16:27
Speaker 2: lady does, only covering important events. But because of the
16:30
Speaker 2: constant attention, things that had never been especially newsworthy about
16:34
Speaker 2: the vice president were suddenly reported in scrutinizedaid, we know
16:37
Speaker 2: why first black woman vice president.
16:39
Speaker 1: So she goes on and on and on and on.
16:41
Speaker 2: Like this episode is really really I'm actually really excited
16:44
Speaker 2: to read her book.
16:44
Speaker 1: I didn't know how much her book would be, if
16:47
Speaker 1: it would bes.
16:48
Speaker 2: If I'm just being honest with you, I felt, and
16:50
Speaker 2: I feel like whenever I get a chance to interact
16:53
Speaker 2: with people on the Democratic side, like when they come
16:56
Speaker 2: to the breakfast club for interviews or anything like that,
16:58
Speaker 2: I always feel that what they really feel, what they
17:02
Speaker 2: really want to say, is never what you get to
17:05
Speaker 2: see and never what you get to hear. And it's
17:08
Speaker 2: really not disheartening because it's politics. I think everybody is
17:12
Speaker 2: doing the dance and putting on a cape and putting
17:14
Speaker 2: on a mask and putting on a personality persona talking
17:18
Speaker 2: in the talking points on all the things Republicans I
17:20
Speaker 2: think are just they're a little bit more ratchet with theirs.
17:23
Speaker 2: But I didn't know if her book would be that
17:26
Speaker 2: because at the same time, all of this scrutiny and
17:29
Speaker 2: all these things she's talking about, they're gonna come again
17:32
Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, she's still a
17:33
Speaker 2: black woman who was in the White House now and
17:36
Speaker 2: this was my whole thing too, and now she's gonna
17:39
Speaker 2: be looked at as disloyal and this is my whole thing.
17:41
Speaker 2: When everything was happening and people were like, Kamala should
17:45
Speaker 2: just come out say what's really going on, even before
17:48
Speaker 2: people were talking about whether Biden should run again or not,
17:51
Speaker 2: there's this code with us, and I get it. As
17:54
Speaker 2: black people, I think we have a very what happens
17:57
Speaker 2: in the house stays and now that's how we're raised, right,
18:00
Speaker 2: But I think in certain instances that really it destroys us.
18:05
Speaker 2: It destroys our voice, and it destroys the reasons why
18:08
Speaker 2: we're put in a room. When Kamala Harris was elected,
18:11
Speaker 2: I thought she was gonna get in there and blow
18:13
Speaker 2: all of that up.
18:14
Speaker 1: And I mean that in the best way.
18:16
Speaker 2: I mean she was not going to stand for things
18:19
Speaker 2: happening that shouldn't happen. She was going to speak directly
18:22
Speaker 2: to the people, to her people to, you know, all
18:24
Speaker 2: the people that get overlooked, and she talks about that
18:26
Speaker 2: in this episode. She says that she felt like her
18:28
Speaker 2: role was to really account for and continue to play
18:32
Speaker 2: spotlight on those communities that people didn't care about, underserved
18:36
Speaker 2: black women, black people, and not just us, but you know,
18:40
Speaker 2: underserved and uncared for communities across the board. But I
18:45
Speaker 2: think her voice was diminished. And I don't know, and
18:50
Speaker 2: you know, I haven't read this full three thousand words.
18:53
Speaker 2: I'm going to continue to do that on my own,
18:55
Speaker 2: and I'm really looking forward to reading the book. I
18:57
Speaker 2: don't know if her voice got diminished because the lack
19:02
Speaker 2: of support and the scrutiny she felt, because everybody likes
19:05
Speaker 2: to act like they don't care, but you do, and
19:10
Speaker 2: you know, people would like to act like Kamala could
19:11
Speaker 2: have gotten there and went off and did all the things.
19:13
Speaker 1: And she could have. I believe she could have.
19:16
Speaker 2: But I think the biggest thing she probably was say
19:17
Speaker 2: good about also is the disloyalty. And if she's being
19:21
Speaker 2: dragged for something as simple as the way she laughs
19:24
Speaker 2: and you know her hand jesters, imagine what they going
19:28
Speaker 2: to do to a young black woman standing next to
19:32
Speaker 2: this older white man in this White House, defending this
19:35
Speaker 2: country that has historically not stood for her, but stood
19:38
Speaker 2: for the counterpart and for the other. I think that
19:41
Speaker 2: that was one of her things as well too. I
19:49
Speaker 2: want to get into more directly what she like, where
19:52
Speaker 2: her thoughts in her you know, her words were when
19:55
Speaker 2: it came to Biden and him running again for president,
19:58
Speaker 2: and one of the episodes, she says, I knew would
20:00
Speaker 2: come off to him as incredibly self serving if I
20:02
Speaker 2: advised him not to run, he would see it as
20:05
Speaker 2: naked ambition, perhaps as dis loyalty, even if my only
20:09
Speaker 2: message was don't let the other guy win. She also
20:13
Speaker 2: goes on in an episot to talk about something that
20:15
Speaker 2: they would say all the time, and you would hear
20:17
Speaker 2: her say all the time when people would ask about
20:20
Speaker 2: the president running again and whether she thought that he
20:22
Speaker 2: was capable of becoming the president or being the president
20:24
Speaker 2: doing the job because he was falling a partner in
20:26
Speaker 2: front of our faces. She said, it's Joe and Jill's decision.
20:30
Speaker 2: We all said that like a mantra, as if we'd
20:32
Speaker 2: been hypnotized, And that right there, I think is a
20:35
Speaker 2: bold statement as well. And she's coming out swinging. Kam
20:38
Speaker 2: Lehrers is coming out swinging in his book. That's a
20:40
Speaker 2: bold statement because even though in the prior epsert she
20:44
Speaker 2: talks about there not being this whole scam or you know,
20:47
Speaker 2: scheme or scandal to cover up Joe Biden being you know,
20:51
Speaker 2: not capable medically, physically and just you know, his coherence
20:56
Speaker 2: to run for president.
20:57
Speaker 1: But I think even this is what we were saying.
21:00
Speaker 2: What we were saying was that it's a lot of
21:03
Speaker 2: it was okay, we're all watching this happen, but the
21:05
Speaker 2: way that it was handled, Yeah, all of y'all were
21:09
Speaker 2: giving a script and you guys all stuck to it,
21:12
Speaker 2: and that, to be honest with you, I think that
21:15
Speaker 2: had a lot to do with why Kamala didn't win.
21:18
Speaker 2: It was that script, her not coming out and completely
21:22
Speaker 2: distancing herself from everything that Joe Biden did and talking
21:26
Speaker 2: about how things would be so different and like she's
21:29
Speaker 2: still even in running for president for those hundred and
21:32
Speaker 2: seven days, she still had to stick to this like
21:35
Speaker 2: this this hopscotch, just this double dutch of like okay,
21:39
Speaker 2: I'm here and on what we need but wait, wait,
21:41
Speaker 2: waitit wait, like we can't we can't take away from
21:43
Speaker 2: what happened over here, or I'm still gonna stick to
21:45
Speaker 2: this because me running doesn't mean that I disagree that
21:49
Speaker 2: he shouldn't have ran for president. It's like a part
21:51
Speaker 2: of her was still living in the middle of all
21:54
Speaker 2: of these things, and you could still kind of feel
21:56
Speaker 2: that in this episode a bit, because she comes out
21:58
Speaker 2: swinging and then she goes back and says, but I'm
22:01
Speaker 2: not saying that he wasn't capable. He was better than
22:03
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Like, I don't know what it is about politics.
22:06
Speaker 2: I know what it is to be a black woman.
22:07
Speaker 2: Don't have to play it safe. But at this point,
22:10
Speaker 2: the gloves is off. Kamala Harris ain't playing to save
22:14
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to read the rest of the book.
22:15
Speaker 2: You guys, let me know what you think. She ends
22:18
Speaker 2: a very strong, strong statement after talking about this mantra
22:23
Speaker 2: that is Joe and Joe's decision, and she says, was
22:27
Speaker 2: it grace or was it recklessness? In retrospect? I think
22:31
Speaker 2: it was recklessness. And this was her comment on her
22:34
Speaker 2: decision and everybody around her is decision not to sit
22:39
Speaker 2: Joe Biden down and tell him do not run for
22:41
Speaker 2: re election.
22:43
Speaker 1: Get in the comments. I want you to take it
22:45
Speaker 1: out to the streets in a tweet call we Outside,
22:48
Speaker 1: we Outside, we Outside Outside, every other page.
22:52
Speaker 2: On Twitter, Instagram, all the places I want to hear
22:54
Speaker 2: from you, guys. Do you guys think that this is
22:57
Speaker 2: a little too late. It's Kamala Harris a little bit
23:00
Speaker 2: too late and telling us the truth about Biden running
23:03
Speaker 2: for reelection, being reckless and honestly being the reason why.
23:06
Speaker 1: Our country is doing shit right now. I'm Lorda L. Rosa.
23:11
Speaker 1: This is the latest with Lorda L. Rosa.
23:13
Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, like I tell you, guys,
23:15
Speaker 2: every single episode, y'all could be anywhere with anybody talking
23:18
Speaker 2: about all of these things, but y'all choose to be
23:21
Speaker 2: right here with me, my lowriders.
23:23
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, guys.
23:24
Speaker 2: I will see you in my next episode.
