Watch Corporate Media's Ridiculous Fawning Over Kamala Harris, w/ Charles C.W. Cooke and Rich Lowry

H you know I thought it was the best she could do she did literally the best she's capable of doing and there's a reason for that we'll tell you what Mark Halperin is reporting some in the Press even thought it was magical M it was magical and that it was make believe I mean this is not the real person we know who the real person is we've been watching her for years now there was no hint of who she actually is last night but she delivered a nice speech that obviously somebody else wrote for her and that's one of my other questions who wrote it because it certainly seems like team Obama is officially on board and all of that same team is all over the media praising her to high heaven without disclosing that they may be helping her behind the scenes which is unethical I'd love to know what about David Axelrod and the Pod save America guys are you actually writing her speeches and Advising her and then going on air and talking about how amazingly she performed because that's not okay John meum remember him out there oh Joe Biden amazing and it turns out he had written the speech and he was praising it on MSNBC anyway there's a lot of stuff happening around This Woman's makeover it's an Extreme Makeover and uh we may never get the answers it's basically just suppositions and suspicions at this point Her speech was short on policy for the American voters all the soaring rhetoric she's going to unite us okay sure we're not United we're not going to be United her boss said that too and then within a year or two we got dark Brandon uh it wound up being one of the shortest exception speeches in history which we were grateful for let's be honest so late thank God for those counting it's now been 33 days since Miss Harris took the Paton received the torch from President Biden and we still have not seen one interview and no news conferences she took a couple of questions at the back of the plane one day which were absolutely non-substantive And yet when the VP passed by the media this is their big chance NBC News was back there last night after her speech it's kamla it's Tim Walls this is it this is great this is your chance as a reporter to freaking ask a real question this is what happened Madame vice president how do you feel tonight I feel good now on to tomorrow good to see you last night yeah congratulations to you to see Governor walls Mrs walls congratulations thank you good it's so good I mean listen we've got 75 days to go so maybe for better and For Worse that's the way I am like that was good now we got Mo on to do enjoy one night nice to see you guys than congratulations congrat oh my God nice to see youat walls congratulations sir Ah that's that's NBC's Kelly O'Donnell also known as the outgoing president of the White House correspondence Association you know the people who are supposed to hold this Administration to account the same people who weren't interested in the fact that um a Parkinson's doctor had visited the White House repeatedly when Joe Biden well oh wait he's still in office when he was in office in they still loved him that that White House correspondence Association the other person with her yelling congratulations that's Peter Alexander NBC News White House correspondent you have one job one job and it is to cover the White House and now this presidential race all those who want to be in the White House and you failed you had this big they tweeted that out it's not like somebody caught it on tape and then tweeted it out to embarrass them they tweeted it out they're proud of this joining me now two of our favorites Rich Lowry he's editor-in-chief of National Review and Charles CW cook senior writer at National Review and host of The Charles CW cook podcast for all of their work become

morning when I'm walking the dog I click on the audio and you can listen to them even if you're not a subscriber but if you do you have to listen to the ads which of course we never want to listen to

maybe we should have Charlie start reading those articles really slowly Megan so you have to listen to them times two speed like your moink ads shly loves okay guys can you believe that I like it's one thing to say congratulations and then Madame vice president you know you said the following Trump's already saying that's not true whatever you you always have a subst substantive question up your sleeve in case you get access but it was just like we saw all week with her uh congratulatory pat on the back let's enjoy the coronation rich yeah I mean the Press score has changed I don't know whether you remember Jack germond he used to be on the mlin group I think is with the Baltimore Sun but he was this overweight balding rumpled guy who who wrote numerous campaign books I just can't imagine him ever congratulating anyone for anything right he just wasn't on board he was hard bitten and skeptical if not cynical about everyone and we have a press score that's totally different now it's more quote unquote professional although their work isn't as good and fair anymore and they're totally on board and we we talked about this I I think right around the time that the transition was happening to KLA how how just in the tank the Press would be but it's it's shocked me even knowing what it would be or thinking I knew what it would be like going in it's it's even been worse than I could have imagined and to have you know one of the few opportunities ever presented to ask an unscripted question and say how do you feel and congratulations is just it's just typical it's the the the reaction to what we saw as a fairly anod speech Charlie I mean she really said almost nothing um she delivered it well especially for kamla Harris who we know how she actually speaks was sickening I mean the the it's beyond spin it's just it's almost gaslighting I'll just give you I'm going to give you three examples here I'll play you a triple sound bite Rachel mattow Jake Tapper and Jen saki listen to this reaction all right you will remember where you were um when you heard this speech tonight from the vice president of the United States you're going to remember where you were on this night this is an inflection point in history it was a remarkable address one that I've never seen her give quite like this before a very very powerful speech you got to go back I think to Barack Obama in 2008 for a democratic speech like this perhaps even a speech like this at all is this magical teris Matic quality in person so do a lot of politicians people say that about Hillary Clinton also true the public has to see it in order to get you elected and tonight and over the last couple of weeks she showed the public when you said what these are the text messages that I'm getting what did you mean well I mean by that is she just that was fierce and fearless how she just delivered that that's who she has been Charlie I I I'm sure you're in the middle of writing your National Review column with those same words Fierce Fearless magical Charisma is that how you experienced it well actually I managed to get a really quick tattoo of her face on my arm this morning I was so moved uh it was fine it was fine she read from a teleprompter she was better than she has been she also said nothing I think this is one thing those people are missing is that the reason that it went okay was that she said nothing they had f groups who also said it was fine I think I saw CNN's went out to a B+ and the reason for that is that when you deliver adequately a speech that is reasonably well written with lights on you and people waving flags and say absolutely nothing that could challenge or upset anyone they will give you reasonable marks for it but that reaction that you just played is absolutely Preposterous and it was it was fine as I say there was a piece in The Daily Beast this morning by David Rothco that I think people should look up and read you got to read all 16 paragraphs of it that honestly reads as if we've just won a World War that we've been in for eight years it is the most ridiculous hyperbolic hysterical thing I've ever seen but I assume most of it was written before the speech was given because Harris is a uh is a creation of the press she's an avatar uh her campaign does not exist at the moment and the response was like the speech itself completely fabricated yeah is that the you said daily bees because there's um their headline is kamla Harris nailed the greatest speech of her life and to that I thought yes well that that's true but I like look at all the others but what's what's so ging about it rich is we're not you know tappers CNN mattow MSNBC we showed you the NBC reporters here's John Carl at ABC this is all the mainstream media this is who reports on and controls the messaging in news listen to Jonathan Carl she gave a speech George that if you take out that section on abortion rights much of this speech could have been delivered at a republican convention a republican convention before Trump this is a a a a KLA Harris that sounded a little bit more like Maggie Thatcher or or Ronald Reagan my I'm friends with John Carl and I generally admire his work but that's that's overly enthusiastic and it it's it goes to the falsity of it right when did she even if it's true and I don't think it's true if you read it line by line when did she become a republican right and shouldn't we want to know how this happened what what's this massive change that she's undergone in her thinking but there had there is no thinking she she is reading a campaign from a teleprompter that's what her campaign is she does it competently I I thought the speech was fine it was the best speech he's ever get given but that's obviously an extremely low bar and it wasn't even the best speech at the convention which might have been Michelle Obama right that line that Michelle Obama had about uh who's gonna tell Trump you know that maybe the presidency is one of those black jobs he talks about I don't know whether she came up with that on her own but it was a great line and she owned the line and she's a natural at this in a way kamla isn't she's a manufactured production she's uh more of a complete Cipher than we've ever had in recent presidential politics this amazing event happens where the presidential nomination handed to her we don't hear anything about it in her own words how she felt what was her role in the transition she picks a vice presidential candidate no sitdown interview the way you'd always have with a V pick and no interview or major press availabilities um before or during her convention and it's obviously because they switched out a candidate they didn't trust in spontaneous settings and replaced him with another candidate who's younger and better at the teleprompter but that they also don't trust in spontaneous settings some Americans enjoy using their credit cards because it can be a hassle-free way to pay not to mention a secure one but our sponsor the American payments Coalition says that some DC politicians want to change that with the Durban Marshall credit card bill they say the bill lets corporate Mega stores pick how your credit card is processed allowing them to use untested payment networks that could jeopardize your data security and your rewards they say corporate Mega
