Timely and interesting.
I think it's fair to say that the media also contributed to the narrative of her being incompetent and flimsy by not covering what she did as VP in great detail
Excellent journalism! Thank you so much for this.
Excellent episode. I learned a lot about Vice President Harris.
oZ,oi
I learned how utterly hagiagraphical the NYT is
You didn't even mention Tulsi Gabbard's comments during the 2019 debate?!
I wonder why ? 😂
Thank you. I liked the little girl Kamala on the bus story. I do want to suggest that this campaign (as well as the three Trump campaigns) demonstrates how broken the presidential primary system is. She probably could not have won an open primary. Mrs. Clinton would have been a great president, well deserving the 2016 nomination; but she was possibly the worst possible candidate for the Democrats that year. Finally, with no primary, we have all come together behind the *best* possible candidate!
Empathetic accountability is a catchy idea. I like it!
I think many people think of politicians as wishy-washy and inherently dishonest. I hope Kamala will be perceived as flexible, empathetic and tough. I like that she fights to stay out of a restrictive box. Women are used to this dilemma. She is uniquely able to deal with the tough problems we face. And Tim Walz has actually dealt with them in Minnesota. They will be a great team!
Sheep
Kamala is the incarnation of wishy-washy
I learned about some of what VP Harris has done during this current term. I consume political media like crazy and I haven't heard about that before. Thank you!
took you guys long enough lol
Well done. This podcast gives the audience a well rounded view of VP Harris and why she is able to hit the ground running in such a short period of time.
Great profile piece on Harris.... Thanks y'all.
As long as you don't, "care about tomorrow".
@@dougwalsh9282 Explain?
Great job Ben! Never corporate media to watch something like this! Watching this all the way through was AWESOME! Go MTN!
When I got to see her in Senate hearings it was clear that accountability was an attribute, but didn't realize she cared enough to WORK with others FOR SOLUTIONS. Majority in the chambers means ao much. Thank you NYT for another great and knowledgeable guest.

I really love this deeper dive on Kamala. She is a cool, intelligent lady. Exactly what we need after Trump and his worshippers.
I really love how they skipped the part where this feminist slept with powerful men to gain prestige and political power

HELL NO!
TRUMP AND JD FOR 2024!
thank you for the info. i was also part of the crowd who wasn't impressed by Harris's debate performance in the democratic primaries. then after she was selected as VP, established herself as a force to be reckoned with, and proved she knows policy, I changed my mind. it is interesting to hear her backstory
You're joking, right?
@@erra1645 no
This makes her look pretty horrible. A prosecutor who backed tough on crime legislation, doesn’t appear to have a vision for the world that is any different than Clinton era democratic policies, who then undertook reactionary border policy.
What a candidate.
Primaries are insane wastes of time and money. The media just pumps them up for ad revenue. We'd be better off going back to having delegates determine the nominee at the convention.
Oh, NYT woke up...
Wish I were able to listen. The background music is loud and dramatic, diverting focus time and time again.
You have to take a stand if you want to start a national movement
It'll be interesting to see if she gets the house and senate.
She might be able to deal with it sooner than later. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I know they only had so much time, but her childhood was actually full of much more varied experiences. She spent four years in various Midwestern college towns from age 4 to 8, after which her parents divorced and her mom took her and her sister back to California (where the bus story happened). Then, at age 12, she moved with her mom and sis to Canada. Before attending Howard, she graduated from a high school in Montreal and attended one year of college there.
The educational system is Quebec is such that you effectively graduate high school after 11th grade and you then attend a 2-year public college called CEGEP before going on to university where a bachelor's degree is a 3-year program. She probably had to attend CEGEP for a year to be able to enter a 4-year college in the US. I was surprised to learn she went to Vanier College in Montreal, where I went!
We love you Joe!♥ You’ve been the BEST President and will continue to be until the end of your term! We love Kamala and Tim and we’re READY to WIN because we WILL NOT GO BACK!
Bravo! Well articuled.
❤ I think you are outstanding! Please do not lower yourself to Trump's negativity by putting him down. Positivity is the way we must go. Your standards are much higher. I love you! I am definitely voting for you! A true Democrat & you are Amazing. Thank you Namaste'. God Bless
Why vote for Trump when he's again and again showed you he's anti-Union, anti-Worker?
Genuine question.
So first he says she was afraid being bussed to a new school, then says she was confident
You are right, I do not care about tomorrow as long as she puts Trump out! But, I believe she wants and will fight for the best of us all!
8:23 no one no one no one believes that this utterly phony fable actually happened
I really appreciate that conversation and insight into Kamala Harris. I feel much more informed, and I am delighted to have her as the Democrats presidential nominee.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💙🇺🇸
Inspiring
Joe was magnificent . My former boss.
We don't care about tommorow! Really?
I am indian excellent 👌 explain sir
Why do these people talk like that?
She was a terrible prosecutor. This is a fluff piece designed to make her seem like she was tough on crime when in reality she only took on slam-dunk cases and then cut deals. Law enforcement had just as much trouble getting anything out of her as an AG. Her policy has been "Do nothing and nobody can say you did anything wrong." Her reticence to talk to real journalists shows that policy is still in effect.
I believe you are correct. Definitely biased information on her everywhere
Astead making the coconut reference has Charli XCX's Apple stuck in my head again. 🍏🌴💙

Great speech by Biden, his daughter, wife and everyone else! Thank you Joe! ♥
We love Kamala
Great interview, this helps me understand and appreciate who our next president is. Cheers
Propaganda lol

@@MayorMcC666 😂
"PrOpOgAnDa lol," and then he proceeds not to explain himself in any way. Have you heard of Hitchen's Razor?

Grow up, and take a report for harassment.
The full spectrum. From Kopmala to Kamunist. 😂 If she annoys both extremes maybe she will work for the independent voters.
