Two-Faced Dana Bash EXPOSED: Kamala vs. JD Vance Interview | StateOfDaniel

There's a reason people call them fake news.  CNN's first interview with Kamala Harris was, yes,   bad for Kamala, but it was also just as bad for  CNN, because it exposed and laid bare CNN's double   standards for interviewing Republicans versus  interviewing Democrats. I made a compilation video   of Dana Bash's questions for Kamala Harris, and  then we're gonna compare that with her questions. questions and her arguments against  JD Vance and I think you will find   it astonishing. The difference between her style,   her substance, her delivery, and how aggressive  she was with each candidate. Look, I get we have   freedom of the press but the press serves a vital  role in our political machine. In our society. country, if we want to be an informed populace,   if we want people to be involved in  politics and know what their politicians   are up to and doing to be able to hold their  politicians accountable, then we need a free,   fair and healthy press. And this right here,  I think proves that our press is anything but. But healthy. Now, before I show you that  compilation video, I want to show you a   clip that proves that CNN was lying. And  here's the thing, they lied about a tiny   detail. And if they're lying about something  that small, then how can we trust them with   issues that require so much more trust?  Take a look at this clip and notice the lie. You about your opponent, Donald Trump. Um,  I was a little bit surprised. People might   be surprised to hear that you have never  interacted with him, met him face to face.   That's going to change soon. But what I want  to ask you about is what he said last month.   He suggested that you happened to turn  black recently for political reasons. Yeah, that's right, CNN claimed that this  interview was live. But that's the thing,   we all know that this interview was pre taped,  it was famously taped beforehand. It was about,   what, 41 minutes long, and yet, CNN only  broadcast it. 18 minutes? In other words,   over half of the interview was edited  out and left on the cutting room floor? What else isn't CNN showing us? Why won't  they release the whole transcript? And   did they edit the interview, manipulate  the footage in such a way to make Kamala   Harris look good? I don't know,  but if we had the transcript, we,   we'd know. We'd know how Kamala Harris  really did. And that's the whole point. Because if CNN is willing to lie about that  tiny detail, about the interview being live,   when it was clearly pre taped, then what  else can't we trust them about? What else   are they misrepresenting? Think of it  this way. Let's say an undecided viewer   tuned in. Right? And they've heard all this  conflicting messaging about Kamala Harris's   temperament and her qualifications and her  ability to be president of the United States. Well, if they knew it was pre  taped, they'd be, you know,   skeptical of the answers, but if they  thought it was live, they might say,   Oh, you know, she wasn't as bad as I thought she  was going to be. It wasn't a train wreck as bad   as Joe Biden's debate. I guess she's good. You  know, perception matters, expectation matters. And by putting that live tab on the bottom  of CNN, they really shot their credibility   more than it's already been destroyed. Not  good for them. Also, Kamala Harris answer   for that question was complete nonsense. You  know, the question, just to remind you all,   the question was her response to Donald  Trump insinuating that she turned black. I mean, and she just said no comment, next  question? I mean, she didn't prepare for   that. They didn't see that coming for anyone  else. That would have been an opportunity to,   you know, share their story or to give  a counter argument. Um, and Dana bash,   you know, she could have asked a follow  up question just off the top of my mind. Uh, Ms. Harris, you've been on camera claiming  that, uh, you're Indian American. Multiple   times, uh, you've, uh, cited your Indian  heritage. I understand that you're half   black and half Indian, but what do you say to  people who argue that you're pandering based on   your race in order to win this election? That's  all she had to ask, but Dana didn't do that. She was happy to move along right  when Kamala Harris moved along. And   that leads to the point of this video.  There is clearly a double standard here,   and I'm calling her Two Faced Dana Bash.  because she's very two faced. So again,   her interview with Kamala was 18 minutes.  I went through the first 9 minutes and   I took out all of the clips that um, were of  Deanna Bash's uh, questions and her pushbacks. There weren't really pushbacks,  which is why I used hand quotes,   against Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. So,  I'm gonna play this and I want you guys   to leave in the comments How you would  describe Dana Bash's demeanor in these   questions. I want you to notice too, right  at the beginning, she's so fond and kind. It's almost like, uh, a warm conversation  and is that a smile I see on her face?   Madam Vice President, Governor Walz,  thank you so much for sitting down   with me and bringing the bus. The bus tour  is well underway here in Georgia. You have   less time to make your case to voters than  any candidate in modern American history. The voters are really eager to hear  what your plans are. If you are elected,   what would you do on day one in  the White House? You talked about,   you call it the opportunity economy. You are  well aware that right now many Americans are   struggling. There's a crisis of affordability. One  of your campaign themes is, we're not going back. But I wonder what you say to voters who do  want to go back when it comes to the economy,   specifically, because their groceries were  less expensive, housing was more affordable   when Donald Trump was president. I'm not  doing that anymore. You maintain binomics.   I want to get some clarity on where  you stand on some key policy issues. Uh, energy is a big one.  When you were in Congress,   you supported the Green New Deal. And in 2019,  you said, quote, There is no question I'm in   favor of banning fracking. Fracking, as you  know, is a pretty big issue, particularly   in your must win state of Pennsylvania.  Sure. Do you still want to ban fracking? 2019, I believe, uh, at a town hall, you  said, you were asked, would you commit to   implementing a federal ban on fracking on  your first day in office? And you said,   there's no question I'm in favor  of banning fracking. So, yes. So,   it changed in the, in that campaign? What  made you change that position at the time? So, to my eyes, Dana Bash was warm, she was  very soft, she wasn't aggressive at all,   she even second guessed herself when she was  citing facts. That second to last clip there,   she's going, In the town hall, I believe, y  you said, And then she reads the quotes from   her notes. No, Diana, it's not I believe.  There's no need to second guess yourself. That's a fact. The fact that you had it in  notes means that you've cross checked your   sources. You've done your research. You know  what Kamala Harris said. And that's all she did   during the questions. Very soft questions.  Very even tempered. Uh, would second guess   herself whenever she was pushing back, even  though she had her notes in front of her. So, yeah, leave me your thoughts in  the comments. How would you describe   Dana Bash's performance with  Kamala Harris? Now, conversely,   let's compare that with her performance  with J. D. Vance. Take a look, and again,   that was just from the first nine minutes. Uh, so  the first half of her interview with Kamala. So. Meanwhile, when she was with J. D. Vance,  take a look at how aggressive, nasty, and,   um, diminishing, condescending she was.  You guys seem to be struggling a little   bit. Kamala Harris has been calling the  shots, as who? There's no evidence that   Kamala Harris threw him overboard, called  you and Donald Trump, and that is weird. Sure. You're saying Tim Walz doesn't  have affection for his wife? I don't   even understand that. They, they have  done both. They have both policies,   and they are trying to, uh, to define  it. You have been on the campaign trail   questioning Tim Walz's, uh, Military record.  Governor Walz served 24 years. He even stayed   after he could have retired because of  9 11 more than the country asked of him. Do you honor his service? I will say  that the Harris Walls campaign did say   that the governor misspoke. That was  a month before the National Guard even   announced that it was possible  that they would deploy to Iraq,   and it ended up being two months. He retired two  months before they actually got the paperwork. You know, I've seen a lot of statements  from veterans, including those you serve,   with saying it's just untoward. To be criticizing  somebody who served for 24 years, Donald Trump   didn't serve in the military. Uh, he received  a medical draft deferment. Do you find that   shameful too? You don't think he, he really honors  our veterans, his need for my service first, you   wrote the forward for a new book by  Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts. Sure. Of Project 2025, whether or not a Trump  Vance administration would allow Miry stone,   why is. Not allowing her to end that  pregnancy. Helpful. or supportive of   expanding families like you want it to  be. Fatal and could potentially hurt   her ability to have more kids. Said she  was almost a childless dog lady because   she didn't happen to meet the right  person until she was 40 years old. Another, Joan Lunden, was, uh, offended that you  don't think she has a stake in the future of the   country because she doesn't have children. Kamala  Harris has two stepchildren. Pete Buttigieg and   his husband have adopted twins. Do you recognize  them as parents, and more broadly, as being part   of families? So here, like, multiple times now,  she's cited things people have said, and she even   cited Pete Buttigieg as an example of, uh, you  know, trying to emotionally manipulate viewers. Why didn't she do that with Kamala Harris?  Why didn't she pull up quotes and say, well,   Uh, this union says this, or this worker  says this, or this industry criticizes your   position on this. It's, it's all this pushback  against J. D. Vance, and yet there was hardly,   again, that first, uh, compilation of  clips I showed you of Kamala Harris. That was pretty much 95 percent  of all of Dana Bash's talking in   the first half of her interview. There  were a few things I left out. Like, uh,   one time she turned to Governor Walz and said,  uh, what about you? So like, about four words,   right? And so, uh, stuff like that I didn't  include. So, what you saw in that first   compilation, that was most of what Dana Bash,  uh, Uh, said to comma a totally different tone. I think here's more like it's my kids call  her mammal. Of course She's not childless.   But again after that the criticism. I certainly  did not call my own step. No, no, no You think   she's anti child bizarre state? That's a whole  nother conversation because people it's related   to this because you didn't know as much  because it was It's literally a novel virus. But Danny, you asked me about, you, you,  okay, you've now asked me three questions   about comments that I made three years  ago. The American people about Joe Biden.   I was asking about the military record  that you brought up, nobody else did,   of Tim Walz. I can't believe I have to ask  you this, but, but I do because Donald Trump. Uh, has been attacking Kamala  Harris's racial identity. Well,   he questioned her racial identity. Do you believe  Kamala Harris is black? You changed your position,   um, on an important thing, which is Donald  Trump. Of course I did. And so why are you not   a chameleon? There aren't media lies. He, we,  we play him and we let him speak for himself. And so people are getting it. There are media  lies such as what you guys did. did with this   interview claiming that it was live and putting  that right on the very bottom. And some of her   presuppositions were just completely false.  For example, she approached J. D. Vance with   a question that he was the one who raised the  issue of stolen valor against Governor Tim Walz. But that's not true. As I've previously  exposed in many videos that I've done   before this. J. D. Vance wasn't the  first person to accuse Tim Walz of   stolen valor. These accusations  go back over a decade against him,   and that's what I've exposed. Veterans groups have  spoken out against him again, decades before J. D. Vance was even a politician. Uh, so,  all of that is just lies. J. D. Vance   didn't bring it up for political points.  It's an actual issue that people outside   of politics have cared about. This goes back  to all the way before Walls was even governor,   back when he served in the  House, when he was in Congress. He was accused of stolen valor. So this  is nothing new. I disagree completely   with her assumptions there and what she  Was trying to do to JD Vance. So again,   what do you think? Am I crazy? Am I making  it up or is there really a difference in how   Dana Bash approached Kamala Harris and  JD Vance? I think it was night and day. And that's why I call her Two Faced  Dana. Two Faced Dana Bash. Because,   which side of her are you gonna get?  Are you gonna get the warm, soft, uh,   I'm just gonna ask you a question, and I'm not  really gonna push back versus the aggressiveness   of her interview with J. D. Vance? Truly two  faced. Now, even CNN was panning her interview. Here are more clips of commentators on the network  pretty much admitting that the interview, yes, was   a train wreck. It wasn't a huge, I don't think she  moved the ball that much forward. I don't think   there's a policy separation that they've created  with Biden. Obviously she gave a kind of personal   You might not like the way she answered him, but  she answered him as a capable, qualified leader. And I do think she, I think she moved  the ball forward a little bit. You know,   maybe she didn't score a touchdown. I think the  two biggest issues coming out of Biden for her   are the economic policies, which she clearly  wants to embrace, but also the immigration   policies. Dana asked her if she had anything to  say about what they did for three and a half years   leading up until the back and forth this year,  completely sidestepped it, did not answer it. She goes back to her time as attorney  general. But again, absolutely nothing,   nothing, no responsibility, no reflection  at all on the day one executive actions or   anything else they did for three and a  half years or anything she said in her   previous campaign, which was to have the  most permissive immigration structure. She's trying to skip a block of time at the  debate. Trump cannot allow it. Yup. And I   think it's also astonishing that again, It's been  weeks since Kamala Harris became the presumptive   nominee and then the nominee. So she's had all  that time to prepare and this was the best she   could do? Over a month to prepare and she,  she couldn't even knock it out of the park. That's really sad. And with a  friendly media outlet at that,   what's even worse is that the media now, so  I made, there's this compilation video, um,   of statements that have come out. Since the  interview, then a few previous statements,   but the media now is trying to insist that  Kamala Harris doesn't need to speak to them. She doesn't need to be open to the media. Um, why  do we have a free press if we're not going to use   it to be part of a, the checks and balances on  the government to hold our politicians, our civil   servants. Accountable. That's the whole point.  It's your job, media, to investigate these people,   to hold them to account, to hold their feet to the  fire, and make sure that the populace is informed. And now they're trying to argue that  Kamala Harris doesn't need to speak   to the press? This is insanity. Candidates  don't need us as journalists to get their   message out. They don't anymore  in this ecosystem. In the media,   we're preoccupied with like, How much access?  How many conversations is she going to have? I don't know how much that matters. There is  risk in talking to us. There's no doubt about   that. Then you hear the criticism.  Oh, she has to do more interviews.   She has to talk about policy. Insiders,  you're speaking to. They're sort of like,   no. Absolutely not. There's a  campaign hack. No. But I love you all. But I don't want her talking to you all right  now. Remember what Elizabeth Warren did when   she ran back in 2020? She had a white paper for  every policy position under the sun. And what   happened? She collapsed in the primary. So It's a  belief that perhaps you put more ideas on paper.   That's a bad idea. The more details you share, the  more your policies are going to get picked apart. Harris has changed us from being a policy  election and more of like a movement,   a cultural movement. It's a vibes  election. That's right. Policy vibes,   vibes election. It's a vibes election. This vibes  election that we're all feeling right now. It   already felt like a vibes election before.  I just have to stop there because my blood. Oh, I need to calm down. I'm too  young for high blood pressure. Media,   it is only a vibes election if you allow it to  be. You guys are part of the checks and balances.   You're supposed to be a government watchdog. If  you don't interview the candidates, if you don't   look into their policies, if you don't report  on their policies, then what are you doing? What's your job? Why are you even there? Why don't  you just go get a job and work for their campaigns   already? Seriously. What a joke. Most elections  are vibes elections. I think every election,   frankly, is a vibes election. And I think  there are really only two vibes that matter   in American politics. One is hope and  joy, and the other is fear and anger. Yeah, just a joke, a complete  joke. And that's why Kamala Harris,   as unserious of a candidate as she is,  is supposedly doing so well because the   media is playing interference for her. It  is a joke. Such a shame, but as always,   all of this is just my analysis and opinion, and  I would love to know yours in the comments below. What do you think? Was there a difference  between how Dana Bash, Two Faced Dana Bash,   approached Kamala Harris's interview and Tim  Walz's interview versus how she did with JD   Vance? And that's the thing. This  is just one reporter that, you know,   we have concrete evidence now because  Kamala Harris has only done one interview. But if a reporter is able to do that  to the politicians faces, what else,   what other biases are they showing outside  of their interviewing capabilities? Is it   what topics they choose to cover?  How they choose to cover them? Uh,   how much time they spend on them? How much  time they spend on certain controversies? I mean, there are so many ways that the media  can shape the narrative. Without us even knowing.   They are just as bad. In fact, I'd argue that  they're worse than social media algorithms.   A lot of people argue that, um, social media  algorithms are bad because we don't know much   about them. They're not very, big tech is not very  transparent about algorithms and that's correct. But neither is the media. They're almost  an al There is a media algorithm. They're   their own algorithm. And most people,  even though they don't trust the media,   don't realize just how deep this bias,  and how insidious and ingrained this   bias truly is. And that's why we're  here. We need to keep calling it out. Um, again, let me know your thoughts in the  comments below. And if you found something   interesting in this video, please share it with  your family and friends. If you haven't already,   please be sure to give me a thumbs  up. I know it's a simple thing to ask,   but it really does help me and the  algorithm to reach more viewers like you.
