IT IS KAMALA HARRIS, NOT KAMALA. I'LL PUT THAT OUT THERE. DONALD TRUMP HAS TWO NEW PEOPLE THAT ARE JOINING THE CAMPAIGN. ARE THE EFFORT TO GET HIM ELECTED, TWO FORMER DEMOCRATS. BUT NOT A SURPRISE THAT THEY'RE JOINING AND WHO ARE THEY AND WHY. >> ROBERT F. KENNEDY JVR IS NOW A PART OF THE TRANSITION TEAM FOR DONALD TRUMP. TULSI GABBARD IS GOING TO BE PART OF THE TRANSITION TEAM. THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN THEMSELVES. THESE ARE BOTH ONE-TIME DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE REALLY CURRIED FAVOR WITH THE RIGHT-WING MEDIA AND DONALD TRUMP. TULSI GABBARD, LET'S BE CLEAR, SHE'S SPOKEN AT CPAC AND WITH THE LIKES OF KARI LAKE, AND ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. WAS ON X TREATING ABOUT KEHM TRAILS SHOULD BE A CRIME. AND SO THIS IS PART OF FOR DONALD TRUMP HIS EFFORT TO BUILD A COALITION NOW, I THINK A THE LO OF FOLKS ARE UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A VERY SPECIFIC COALITION THAT HE'S TRYING TO BUILD AND IT IS ONE THAT REALLY PLACATES THE FAR RIGHT BECAUSE THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS, TULSI GABBARD, WHO HAS -- AT THE OUTSET OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE, LAID BLAME AT THE FEET OF UNITED STATES FOR PUTTING RUSSIA IN THE POSITION TO DEFEND ITSELF BY TRYING TO EXPAND NATO THAT RUSSIA INHERENTLY NEEDED TO DO WHAT IT COULD TO DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST POTENTIAL UKRAINE OR NATO ADVANCEMENTS. >> THE LAST I HEARD ABOUT KEHM TRAILS AROUND DONALD TRUMP WAS A PROTESTER OUTSIDE OF HIS -- HIS FORMER HOME, TRUMP TOWER WEARING SWIRLY EYEGLASSES WITH THE BIZARRE HAIR AND RANTING ABOUT KEHM TRAILS. SO NOW SOMEONE ON HIS TRANSITION TEAM COULD DO THAT AS WELL. LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT RFK A LITTLE MORE. BECAUSE WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THE WORM THAT HE SAID HE FOUND IN HIS HEAD. WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THE STORY ABOUT THE BEAR THAT HE FOUND AS ROAD KILL AND THEN LEFT AS A JOKE IN CENTRAL PARK MAKING IT LOOK LIKE IT WAS HIT BY A BICYCLE, AT THE TIME THERE WERE A LOT OF BICYCLE THEFTS IN NEW YORK CITY. THAT WAS HIS VERSION OF A JOKE. AND NEWTORY FROM KICK KENNEDY, HIS DAUGHTER, TELLING TOWN AND COUNTRY ABOUT HER FAMILY AND HAD AN ANECDOTE ABOUT HER FATHER. I'LL READ IT. WHEN SHE WAS SIX WORD GOT OUT THAT A DEAD WHALE HAD WASHED OUN SQUAW ISLAND AND BOBBY WHO LIKED TO STUDY ANIMAL SKULLS AND SKELETONS RAN DOWN TO THE BEACH WITH A CHAINSAW AND CUT OFF THE WHALE'S HEAD AND BUNGEE CORDED IT TO THE ROOF OF THE FAMILY MINIVAN FOR THE FIVE-HOUR HAUL BACK TO NEW YORK. AND SHE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING A PLASTIC BAG ON HER HEAD AND THERE WAS WHALE JUICE AND FAMILIES WERE FLIPPING THEM OFF. BUT IT WAS JUST A REGULAR DAY FOR RFK AND THAT FAMILY. I DON'T KNOW, WHAT IS THE QUESTION THERE AND HOW DO YOU ANSWER IT. >> OTHER THAN, IF WE COULD, TAKE A QUICK STEP BACK TO 2016 AND AT TRUMP TOWER WHEN WE WERE COVERING THAT TRANSITION AS HE WAS PARADING FOLKS POSSIBLE CABINET IN THE TRUMP TOWER AND WHAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION AND SURPRISE WAS RFK JR. AND HE WAS COMING THERE ON THE VACCINATION FRONT. THIS IS A COMPLICATED, UNIQUE MAN. AND DONALD TRUMP HAS EVEN JUST LAST WEEK SAID THAT HE'S INTERESTING. HE'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. IS HOW DONALD TRUMP DESCRIBED HIM, HIMSELF. AND HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS PERSON PERCENTAGE OF VOTERS WHO MAY BE RFK VOTERS WHO HELP HIM HERE ELECTORALLY AND THIS FOR KAMALA HARRIS, WE'RE TWO WEEKS OUT FROM THIS PENDING DEBATE BETWEEN THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS AND THERE IS JUST A LOT THERE AT THE FEET OF THIS DEMOCRATIC TICKET. AND YOU'RE PLAYING THE SOUND OF DONALD TRUMP TALKING ABOUT THAT AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL. AND IN NO WAY IS THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION UNENCUMBERED BY ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF WHAT TOOK PLACE WITH THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE TROOPS IN THE PASSING OF U.S. MILITARY SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DONALD TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, THEY'RE THE ONES IN FEBRUARY OF TO 2020 TO PUT THE DOHA AGREEMENT IN EFFECT RELEASING 5,000 TALIBAN PRISONERS AN THIS IS WHERE DONALD TRUMP, RIGHT, YOU FLOOD THE FIELD. RFK AND TULSI
