Check out damage report, any speed, old day, young turks. Okay, so we got a lot to get to. But it feels like about 80% of this show is a Trump spiral. He is spiraling right down the toilet.

Kamala Harris unveiled some new plans. They're terrific. What is going on? What happened to the Democratic Party? Why did they turn smart overnight? So, Jesus, that is surprising. Look at this shill over here. Yeah, the part where it's overnight,

and I've been kicking their ass for the last 22 years. But hey, credit where credit is due, so we're going to tell you all about that in a minute. So, John, let's get started. Yes, credit where credit is due for her and discredit to this fellow. Many of your allies who want you to win in November say your current strategy isn't working, that you need to stop with the personal attacks on Kamala Harris and deliver a more disciplined message. Do you agree? I think I'm entitled to personal attacks.

I did not need to hear that from him. I've been pretty sure that's how he felt in general for about a decade now. But you might or might not know that behind the scenes there's been a lot of pressure. Public, private, on Fox News, in smoke-filled rooms. for Donald Trump to grow up just a little bit and come out with a strategy for taking down Kamala Harris and Tim Walls that relies on more than just insulting her intelligence or her race or her looks or his military service or how much spicy likes in his food or whatever it is that he's doing. And right there you saw that he's just not going to take that advice. He really does feel like he's entitled to say these things. He has these thoughts. He has no ability

to control his deepest, darkest impulses, and so he vomits them out in press conferences like you just saw. And the excuse being like that she's called me weird, he goes on to say, that's just no excuse for like a grown man to use, but he thinks it's good enough. Take a look. I'm very angry at her that she'd weaponized the justice system against me and other people. Very angry at her. I think I'm entitled to personal attacks. I don't have a lot of respect for her. have a lot of respect for her intelligence, and I think she'll be a terrible president. And I think it's very important that we win. And whether the personal attacks are good, bad, I mean, she certainly attacks me personally.

She actually called me weird. He's weird. It was just a soundbite, and she called J.D. and I, weird. Some people say, oh, why don't you be nice? But they're not nice to me. They want to put me in prison, you know, just so you understand. You know, they tell me I should be nice. They want to put me in prison.

It's never happened before in the history of our country. I did nothing wrong. They called me weird. They called, could you believe this Honeybunch's votes? They called me weird. What a strange, strange fellow. The funny thing about it is, yes, there are probably some reporters or people that like Harris and thus want him to stop being mean to her or whatever.

But he seems to be almost entirely missing the point. Those telling him to stop attacking her are not doing it because you need to be nice. They're saying it because you need to look nice. People don't like you, they don't want to support you. They think that you're a mean weirdo and they don't want to be a part of your political thing. If you could mature a little bit, show a little bit of control of your emotions, then you might reassure some people that you being the next president would not be an absolute disaster. They're trying to help him, but he cannot be helped.

cannot be helped, not when it comes to things like controlling himself. So I come at this from a unique perspective because as, you know, all of you know that I've been watching the show for some time, I believe in negative campaigning. So, you know, 98 of not 100 out of 100 pundits on TV, especially Democrats will say, Democrats and mainstream media will say like, no, no negative campaigning, keep it civil. And when they go high, you know, when they go low, you go high and don't, don't don't, don't don't, don't Don't don't, don't, right? No, I don't believe that at all. But does it depend? Of course it depends. What are you going negative about? Going negative about a record? Yeah, that makes sense, right?

What are we running on? You're running on your record. If your record sucks, I got to tell people it sucks. I'm running against you. This is actually the number one problem that Bernie Sanders had. He could not get himself to go negative if his life depended on it. And our progressive lives, political lives, depended on it. And he wouldn't do it, right? So on the other hand, if you're going negative on someone's gender or race, that's a very dangerous path because it makes no sense. And all you're going to do is alienate people. So what are you going negative on, right?

So and with Trump, we have the answer. Yeah, she just turned black. And I know, black. Okay. Well, now you're doing identity politics and you're being weirdly racist. and I mean that very literally, weirdly race. I don't even understand your racism, that's how weird it is, right? What does it mean that she turned black?

Okay, and you could, and by the way, brother, you, oh man, let me play poker against Donald Trump. He has so many tells, right? And he can't stop saying what's at the very top of his mind. He's like, it's really bad, this is me that they're calling me weird. Why are you announcing that? They're just going to call you weird more. Like, do you have any sense of strategy? I guarantee you that if I was playing with him, he'd be like,

Yeah, I think your hand is weak, just so because I have an 8-2 unsuit, it doesn't mean anything. I'm bluffing. Oh, no, I said it out loud. Like, you moron. Now, which brings us to intelligence. Can you campaign on intelligence, negative or otherwise? Yeah, of course you can. Intelligence is a very relevant part of being commander-in-chief and the president of the United States of America.

Good news for us, Donald Trump's a moron. Okay, so like he says, Kamala Harris isn't bright. But all right, what are you basing that on? She went to great school. She was district attorney, attorney general, senator, vice president. But if you got something, no problem. I'm open to that discussion. Mike, it sounds like since you don't have anything to back it up,

you're saying that based on stereotypes. Now you're back into dumbass negative campaigning. John is absolutely right. The people saying, hey, stop, stop, stop, stop. Aren't Democrats. Democrats are like, green light. Keep talking jackass. Okay, we love it.

So, no, it's people trying to help you. Not because they think you're being mean, but because they think you're not being effective. So now let's talk about why he's not being effective. Because, again, if you've been watching this show for the last 10 years, you know that I think Donald Trump is one of the biggest dumbasses we have ever had in public in any way shape or form, not just politics. So, and now, of course, he disagrees. Let's watch a clip of him telling us how smart he is. I'm very consistent. I'm a very stable genius. I'm an extremely stable genius. Actually, he goes on to say, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being like really smart.

And he literally writes, like really smart. I'm not throwing that in there. Yes, I won't point out. Okay. Like really smart. I went from very successful businessman to top TV star to president of the United States on my first try. I think that would qualify as not smart but genius and a very stable genius at that. We sold a lot of very stable genius shirts at shop tyt.com after those statements because who says that? Who walks into a bar and goes, I'm extremely stable? And who doesn't run away from that guy? He says, one of the two things I'm known for is mental stability. brother, if you have to be known for just being mentally stable, there's an excellent chance

you're not mentally stable because most normal people are not known for that. It's not the top two qualifications they have. And I can go on and on. He thought a dementia test was an IQ test thereby failing the dimension test because he didn't know which test he was taking. But I'm going to give you one last one here because I think that he might not actually believe that he's like really smart because this is from 2019. from Associated Press.

Leading up to the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump directed his personal attorney at the time, Michael Cohen, to threaten legal action against the colleges and high school he attended if they publicly released his grades or standardized test scores. Cohen told Congress in 2019. He would take legal action against you, if you find out how dumb he is.

Look, man, I don't think that college or high school grades are determinative. I've seen people work their ass off and get ahead. And to me, that's not like the end all be all. But when you're desperate to hide your high school grades, that means they weren't very good. Okay, trust me, we had good grades. I had the best grade.

And I thought, oh, didn't you brother? Didn't you? Because anytime anybody tries to get them, you're like, no, no, send the lawyers, don't anybody ever find out. What an idiot I was in high school or college and how my dad got me. He got me admitted into these schools and I didn't earn it. He got me out of Vietnam because I had postpers in my head. So you want to talk about intelligence, brother?

I'm right here for it. Moss. I'm surprised no one has brought out those grades yet. It would really be a fun day, at least a news cycle. So to your point, if anybody's watching that can do that, if there's a journalist that can dig, please listen to Jank and get those grades out so we can have some fun with it. Number two, I think if you're an old one, white, spoiled, rich guy, you should not be using the word entitled to describe your right

to go after a smart, accomplished African American half Asian woman who's running for president. Like that's the wrong word. He goes, I'm entitled to use it. Yeah, you're very entitled and you should not be using those personal insults. And really, it goes to, this all shows the level of his ego. Because if he really, if these people, actually had any ounce of humility or any ounce of being, you know, smart about this, they would take this title of weird and play on it and be like, yeah, I'm weird, you know, whatever, it's all good. I'm weird, but the economy's doing this and the, you know, the country's doing that.

Let's go to these subjects, but they don't. He takes it. He's got the smallest ability to actually have any kind of huge. sense of humor. He famously was the first president in a long time to not go to the correspondence dinner. And he said, he goes, I don't like people laughing at me. And I think that's because no one's ever laughed with him. And so we see this. And by the way, if you want to talk about weird, look at the backdrop that he's standing in front of. It looks like he's trying to replicate the front of the White House so that maybe, I'm sorry, the Rose Garden. So maybe some of

his followers that are watching think, oh, he's actually it at the White House. And look at the number of flags they got coming out of that back room. It's like, how many flags do you, you know what I'm saying? Like, we get it. You're patriotic. Like, but that's weird. That in itself is all weird because it's all such signaling of like, look at what a great guy I am. America, America, America. I might end up making out with this flag in a second like I did in the past. So the guy is weird and good on Tim Walls for bringing this label to these people. They are weird. They don't have a sense of humor. And no, you're not entitled to go after her because the problem is, guys, that this is all he knows. If there's one thing Donald Trump is good at, it's nicknames.

He's this meathead who probably was the guy who was giving nicknames back in the day, and he's moved on. And he's pretty good at nicknames, you know, Sleepy Joe and Crooked Hillary and Little Marco Rubio. And then he gets to this strong, smart African-American woman, and he can't because he knows deep down inside. the words are very racist and they're very sexist and he's like can I and he may go there

as the numbers start to dip you might see I mean we saw some leaked video of him calling her a B word but you may actually see him in one of these press conferences

he keeps calling actually go there with some nickname that we're all going to be talking about and please play this clip again if and when he goes

racist on her with the nickname yeah that's certainly possible. So I'm not sure the video showed that that it was kind of mixed, but there's a lot of reporting that he said it to be on the disease. And besides, would Maga be surprised? Would anybody be surprised? But I wanted to comment on a couple of things that Maas just said real quick. The flags, remember it's Bedminster, New Jersey. That's where his golf course is. That's where he buried his ex-wife for a tax cut. And that's where he transported some of the

stolen documents he still has. So the flags might just be covering up boxes of documents back there. Okay, I just wanted to clarify that. And you said, you know, he was like an old bully that ran out of material. He's literally Biff from back to the future. They modeled the Biff after Trump, because Trump's, of course, been around for a long, long time. And so that's also true. And then, but I wanted to give last word to one of our members. We love doing the show with our members. Hit the join button below, become part of the show, become part of the Young Turks. J.J. Belmer wrote it. Jenks says that Trump's campaign is spiraling down toilet, but it's a beautiful toilet, tremendous toilet, the most beautiful toilet ever,

and nobody knows about toilets as much as Trump does. Okay, and I like it because it's both funny and true, because he actually did these toilets that were too expensive in Trump Air when he bought that airline, and it's part of what bankrupted the airline. Beautiful toilets, I want the best toilets. They're like, sir, it costs too much, it's going to cost me. I don't care. on the toilets, he would rip up the secret documents and throw them down the toilet and it

caused clogging issues in the White House. Yeah. Anyway, I love our members that's smart and funny and appreciate it. Yeah, I love the idea that his lifelong need to have a powerful flush bankrupted at least one company. Anyway, let's go on to related topic. As we've said, there are a number of Trump allies, both in private and public, that are cautioning him against continuing this bizarre series of attacks against Kamala Harris, especially on her race, as we alluded to, the weird attack about her becoming black or whatever that was supposed to be. But not everybody wants to be seen to be opposing him on this topic.

Here is Representative Nancy Mace on CNN, and to hear her tell it, she hasn't even heard that this stuff has been going on. Trump injecting Vice President Harris's race and then suggesting that she's not actually black. Why is he doing that? Should he stop? Well, I mean, I didn't, I didn't hear him say it. I didn't hear what he said about her race. I am not going to weigh in on her race. As a woman, I did say it. Okay, well, as a woman.

Well, as a woman, I want to win. She turned black, he said. He said she was raised in India and now she was Indian all he knew. Now she's a mixed race, right? She's a mixed race. This doesn't take that much courage, honestly, to just say that was out of bounds. I don't know what he said. I didn't see.

He said that she turned black. He questioned whether she was really black. I don't think that's that hard to say that's out of bounds. Can you say that? I mean, I didn't say it and you're, and I would not say it. Just say yes. Just say yes. I just don't know.

We are. We are. We are out of time. It's a very We are out of time. It's a cult. They won't say anything that goes against the cult. Yes, you are.

It's a cult. I mean, that's what it is. This isn't news or anything. I like that Abby Phillips brought that up. I will only say if you're going to do that sort of thing and you should do that sort of thing, you're going to have Nancy Mesa on, you want to question her about this, you know that she's going to try to weasel out of it. You got to have the clip ready to go.

It's like when you're gonna stop like a congressman like in the halls and be like, Trump tweeted this crazy thing, you gotta print it out man, you gotta have it ready because they're gonna say they didn't hear it, they didn't see it, I don't know, you gotta show it to him. So that would have been my only critique. But right there, she was told exactly what he said and she refuses to admit that it's racist. But that doesn't mean that she isn't going to join him there because in the extended interview, she starts talking about Kamala Harris and she mispronounces the VP's name. Now that has happened a lot.

Nancy Mace obviously has been in government. She's been around Harris for years at this point and obviously should know, you know, what her name is, how it's pronounced in the same way that how could you not know about the NABG, BJ news cycle at this point. And she just kept doing it over and over. They would say you're mispronouncing it and she would say, I can mispronounce it if I want, and she would say it over and over again. And that led to tweets from like end wokeness saying,

Kamala's sacred and holy name is slightly mispronounced, all hell breaks loose. You are a white woman that is disrespecting a black man, which is just a literal description of what was happening, to which she says these boys were so easily triggered. And both of them just got it so wrong. And wokeness, it wasn't slightly mispronounced, it was mispronounced. And it was intentionally mispronounced, that's what that whole segment was. Now maybe there's something lost in translation and wokeness after all is a Russian bot account. Look it up, it became super clear when they talked about warm water ports.

But for Nancy Mace, we weren't, they weren't triggered on the panel, they identified what you were doing. The point of you mispronouncing it, and when corrected doubling down and mispronouncing it again, is to tell the audience, she has a silly foreign name that doesn't deserve respect. It's not like Nancy or anything, you know, like a real name that people should know how to pronounce. That's a foreign name, that's an outsider other name, and nobody needs to respect it.

And that basically is what Donald Trump was selling with the idea that, yep, she's black, she's Indian, whatever, who knows, maybe she became something, it's super weird, you don't have to respect it. That is what they're selling to their white voter base. The idea that these people aren't like you, they don't deserve consideration or respect or compassion or humanity. And she is very much a part of that movement or, sorry, I don't want to offend the congresswoman, Cull. Yeah, so I mixed feelings about this. So usual, you know, slightly divergent opinion for me, but hold. So first on Nancy May's pretending that she doesn't know that Donald Trump said that she just turned black.

She knows. Okay, that was not a small news story. It was a gigantic news story. The reason she doesn't want to talk about it is because what Trump is said is asinine. And she can't say that because they're all obligated to kiss his ass. So that puts her in what she views to be an unwinnable situation because she can't be honest. But then that's Tuesday for politicians, let alone a Republican politician. So that's why she's just trying to get away from that segment the whole time. Please let this be over, please let this be over, right? And she's filibustering.

Now on the mispronouncing the name, I'm biased here because I have a non-pronounceable name. So I don't care at all. If I cared my whole life would be centered around caring about people mispronouncing my name. So I'm gonna come back to that in a second. Triggered. I find this one, hilarious and nonsensical. Like, yeah, I did something stupid and it triggered them. Ha ha ha ha, I got you guys.

No, that's, you didn't get us, you got yourself by saying something stupid. And then we corrected your ass. How is that a win for you? But like Maga really believes that, that's like their favorite thing in the world. If we say something super stupid and then you guys react, I got you triggered. That's not a thing, guys. I don't know why you think that's a thing.

And besides which, if like all it takes, whether you said something stupid or smart, is getting a big reaction out of people, and that means that's a giant win, triggering those people is a giant win. Well, then I'm the biggest winner on the internet. Okay, I mean, nobody could dispute that. I've triggered the entire internet, right?

I've triggered every part of the political spectrum. And right wingers, You guys have been triggered by me for now, what, a couple of decades. So apparently I'm the world champion debater, not by my logic, but by your logic. Because the angrier you get at me, the more I'm winning apparently. So thank you, I appreciate it. Okay, so now back to the name thing. I'm curious what you think, Maz, because growing up Middle Eastern, both of us here in America,

your name's a little bit easier than mine because mine starts with a C and is pronounced J. So jank is not pronounceable if you don't know it, let alone Uyghur, right? So I'm curious what your take on that is. Well, I'll be honest with you. For me, when people say instead of Maz, they say Maz, it's fingernails on the chalkboard in my mind. And I, and in all honesty, I was like, when will I ever be famous enough so everyone can just get it right and it's Maas? And I would assume that if I were running for president and I'd been the vice president and I'd been a senator and I'd been attorney general, I've been the public eye for all that long, they would get it right.

But they still don't get it right because now intentionally they don't want to get it right. Because to John's point, they want to point out that she's a foreigner, that she's not one of us. And by the way, it's like, oh, I got you. I can say whatever I want. Well, the problem here is it's a disrespect and it's unfortunate to see because Nancy Mace, when she was first a member of Congress, she wasn't as extreme, but she's gone extreme. She's kind of like, I would say, a slightly more intelligent Marjorie Taylor Green, which is not much of a compliment, but it kind of is. And that she realizes that's what she needs to do because she clearly knows what Donald Trump said about Kamala Harris being, you know, turning black.

She knows she knows what it is. She heard it. She knows it's wrong. And in a sane world, she would say, listen, I don't agree with what he said, but he says whatever he says. And it's not, I didn't say it and move on. But she knows that some of her base probably feels that, oh, yes, we should call her out on that. You know, we've seen it, you know, the right wing and how they're trying to run with that. Oh, she was always Indian.

Now she's black because she wants to vote. And so she knows that there's members of her constituent that think that what Donald Trump did was right. And she doesn't want to isolate them because that's who's helping her win. And so it's just sad to see somebody like this go on TV and just be so, you know, she's basically. playing to an audience of one, but then the audience of one in his base, because that's what she needs. And we see that all the time. There's no spine in these people. And if I'm a voter in North Carolina, I'm going, gosh, I don't know, I don't like this person. And I'm really going to look at what they've done for my district and see if I would want to vote for them again. Because I just feel that they take their own constituencies as fools and suckers. And they make their constituents dumber and dumber by trying to play down to their stupidity. and then they come across this, this is a congresswoman for God's sake, you know, talking like this. It's just, it's just, it's sad to watch.

Okay, let me be specific about the issue I have, and maybe you still disagree with me. I'm not getting down on her for mispronouncing a person's name. You can mispronounce a name. What you should have is the strength of character or like the fundamental grace to, when you're corrected, you update your understanding of it and you say it correctly. Particularly if you are mispronouncing the name of a black woman and you're on a panel with multiple black people that are telling you it is fundamentally disrespectful and you're doubling down and saying no, I don't care about y'all's people's names, I'm gonna say it however I want.

But the bigger issue is this is not some random person that like she just found out about. She's been around for a long time, we've heard her name many times. And again, even then I wouldn't have an expectation for most Republicans. But when you are corrected on the panel, just correct yourself and then move on. She decided to make this her stance. I'm not fundamentally like all that down on people mispronouncing names. Again, the racial stuff is different, but people have pronounced my last name when they meet me with an L only about 30,000 times in my life.

I don't take it personally because they don't know who I am because I'm not that notable. But Kamal Harris has been around for a long time. Nancy Mace has heard her name 100,000 times and she is choosing to make a stand. It's very different than accidentally mispronouncing a name. She wants people watching that to know that she doesn't think it matters whether the name is pronounced correctly or not. And bear in mind, Trump did it to Nikki Haley as well. Yeah, so let me put more nuance into it because John, you're absolutely right that when corrected, if you purposely continue to pronounce it the wrong way, you're trying to offend the other person.

And that makes you what we colloquially call a bad guy, right? And so in this case, she's been a bad person on purpose, which is the Republican strategy. Now, at the same time, the part of the reason I said don't, there's two reasons why I say don't over emphasize this. So number one, a lot of good honest people get names wrong. And they feel really self-conscious about it. And when you attack someone for getting a name wrong, they feel personally attacked. And so they feel like, well, I was just trying my best, Jesus guys, these left guys can't be appeased. I mean, you get something a little wrong and they just call you racist right away, right? So I don't want that reaction.

I think that's a bad reaction. I don't want it in my personal life. I don't want it in politics. So that's why I warn against it a little bit. And then secondly, when they do it on purpose and they seem to be rubbing, you know, our faces in it, that's a win for us politically. Take the win and don't overemphasize it. And I know why they're doing it in case you don't know.

So Kamala sounds, I guess, more westernized. I don't know that that's really true. All this conversation is silly to begin with, but Kamala, in their mind, sounds more African. That's why they're saying it? And if you're wondering, why does it sound more African? For, this might be a generational thing. Among the really silly reasons why is because when I was growing up and adapt, you know, a lot of these characters are either my age or older, in wrestling, there was Kamala, the

Ugandan giant, okay, and you're gonna think there's no way that didn't stick in their heads and that's part of it. No, that's why. I didn't know that. Yes, that's part of the reason why they keep calling her Kamala, because they think of Kamala, the Ugandan giant. And remember Hulk Hogan was at the R&C, so this is not like some crazy theory, like, oh, they don't know wrestling, oh wow, what a coincidence, right? So that's why to them it sounds more African, right? But if they're doing that, that's a gift to you, right? That's them saying, ha ha, look at her stupid name, which then triggers everybody with a different name to go, I hate you, and I can't wait to vote against you, right?

Take the win. When we make a bigger deal out of it, then we alienate the people who are mispronouncing names, but don't mean to. So that's why I say what I say. Well, and to your point there, you know, we live in a different time. There was a time when this attack, I mean, even when they were doing Barack Hussein Obama, it worked for some people, but that's such a dated attack now. all of this stuff it's that's the other thing you look at they have nothing they have nothing new

it's all just a replay if you could play a speech from trump from four years ago and watch the stuff he's saying and it's exact same thing it's just a repeat from four years ago eight years ago and so this is their attempt at barak hussein obamaing kamala harris and it's failing really badly because we're in a world now where there's a much more diverse world there's a lot of names out there they're unique it's fortunately there's people of different backgrounds in positions of power now whereas like 10 15 20 30 years ago that was not the case so maybe 10 20 30 years ago there might be somebody in the middle who's trying to decide and go oh my god kamala she's a foreigner she's not you know i'm not going to vote for her but now you'd have to be really stupid to have

that argument work for you and there is still a you know a portion of the population that still has that but the portion that i think is going to tip the election to hopefully fingers crossed don't jinx it kamala harris is uh is not going to fall for this crap it's just it's so such an old old uh strategy yeah yeah i hope that you're right now i agree with that definitely yeah all right we got to take a break we'll be right back For a limited time at McDonald's, enjoy the tasty breakfast trio.

Thank you for joining by hitting a beautiful join button below the video. And chaotic neutral dragon, thank you for gifting five memberships. You're awesome. John. Okay, let's turn and talk about the other side of this president choice. And today, by virtually every measure, our economy is the strongest in the world.

Still, we know that many Americans don't yet feel that progress in their daily lives. Costs are still too high. And on a deeper level, for too many people, no matter how much they work, it feels so hard to just be able to get ahead. Today, Kamala Harris announced the first set of proposals designed to allay some of those fears or concerns about the state of the economy. And for a number of those, we don't have a lot of specifics, but we do have some general guidelines and a few specifics that I think are worthy of discussion. The first proposal that she made has to do with fighting price gouging. We're going to delve in greater detail into that a little bit later on the program. But I want to throw out just a few of the, I guess, the headline versions of this,

and then see what the panel thinks about this as a group of proposals. So you have a number of different areas. First on housing, she's proposing a $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers, as well as tax credits to incentivize housing construction and policies to prevent Wall Street investors from buying homes in bulk to resell at a premium, which sounds like I don't know so much about the subsidy, but those second parts sound like everything that Anna Kasparian has been shouting we need for a number of years now. So I can't wait for her to get back and find out what she thinks about that. But in addition to that, to control some of the cost

of housing, including for people who rent, she's endorsed legislation that would crack down the use of property management software that has allegedly been used by landlords to fix apartment rent prices, effectively allowing all of the landlords in an area to function almost like a cartel when it comes to establishing higher rent prices and make sure that nobody breaks that and thus not allowing supply and demand to function as it should. In addition to that, she has proposed helping with the elimination of medical debt for millions of Americans, including by having the federal government buy up medical debt at pennies on the dollar, a cap on prescription drug costs beyond just the ones that have already been announced, including

earlier this week, as well as a general cap on the cost of insulin at $35 for all Americans. That is already the case for some Americans, depending on what your insurance issue. She wants that to be a general rule for all Americans, as well as bringing back the child tax credit. So not just the child tax credit as it used to exist, but in an enhanced form, including $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby's life, which sounds like exactly what people like Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk and Joe Rogan have been saying we need, we need to, people need to have babies, well make it a little bit more financially feasible. And then in addition to that supersized first year,

generally bringing back the child tax credit for as a continuing thing. And so this is a lot to put out at one time. We were sort of expecting that she would use use maybe her speech at the DNC to announce some policies. Instead, she's going into the DNC with all this, perhaps making it so that speakers throughout the week can sort of focus on and stress some of these policies. But it's a lot, what do you think? Yeah, so I'm gonna make comments about how this plays generally in terms of the election in a second and how this relates to why she wasn't doing interviews.

But first, bringing it down, I won't go through all of them, just a couple of them. Preventing Wall Street investors from buying homes in bulk to sell at a, resale at a premium. So that one could be awesome. If you stop private equity from buying the homes, that'll make by far the biggest difference. But the way that it is phrased makes me very skeptical. Buying homes in bulk, why does it have to be in bulk? And reselling at a premium, who's going to determine whether it's at a premium? Those look like purposely put in loopholes so that they don't actually have to do this.

So I'm keeping it real with you guys. Tax incentives are usually the number one thing that pass because, you know, because, you know, anything that's perceived as a tax cut as a much better chance of success, partly because rich people will say yes and donors will say yes, right? Now, it affects people beyond rich folks, and in fact, this could really help in bringing home, making housing more affordable overall if you apply all of these things. And I don't know that I would do all four, you know, but you don't have to worry about that. You'd be lucky to get one of them passed, okay?

So elimination of medical debt for millions of Americans. Well, I got good news for you on that, especially if you old medical debt. That one is the most likely to pass. Why? That's one of the more expensive ones, et cetera, because companies hold that debt. And taxpayers would be paying it. So those companies are going to grease every politician in Washington. Oh, yeah, yeah, this is for the average American.

And it is, it is. But this is the type of thing that passes. When the Democrats think, like, oh, that's good optically, but the donors are still happy. So that's the highest percentage chance. A cap on prescription drug costs, I'll believe it when I see it. So they got one drug that they're super happy about insulin and that's only for Medicare. They're trying to make it so that it applies to everyone.

Okay, good, I'll take it on the one drug. They're still bragging about the 10 drugs that's coming later in 2026. Good, I'll take it, but not nearly enough. And she did not propose to the best of my ability to interpret her language on this. totally negotiating drug prices on all drugs, which at a minimum, I think that's a rare miss here politically, because of course you should propose that. I mean, I could tell you there's no way they're going to do it, but you'll lose nothing by proposing it.

Oh, a broken promise, that's Democrat 101, right, let alone Republicans. And in terms of the child tax credit or the $6,000 for your first year of a child's life, at most you'll get one of those. But all of these are very, very popular. So now that leads me to my general point, which is well played, really well played. So there's the policy and then there's the politics. In the terms of the politics, this puts Trump and the Republicans on the defensive. So they're having to say, oh, no, no, no, we shouldn't do those proposals.

And what people here is we should keep housing prices really high. We should keep drug prices really high. You should be stuck with medical debt. So when they go to make the counter argument, they're screwed. So whoever's handling strategy here for the Harris-Waltz campaign, tip of the hat. This is good stuff. This is great stuff.

And so, and I say whoever because theoretically, General Miley Dillon is the campaign manager. She was Biden's campaign manager, but I saw her manage a couple of campaigns and she didn't do this. Okay, so I don't know if it's pluff that they brought in, et cetera. But the person who gets the most credit is the person making. the decisions, and that's Kamala Harris. So she's made one right decision after another, after another. Honestly, coming from a Democratic leader, I'm shocked. So this is a great idea overall in politics. And you might even get a couple of policy wins out of it. So what do you think? I'll make it even simpler, Jenk. Good for them for talking about policy. Because now

we just saw Trump is talking about name calling and they're talking about policy. And one of the reasons that Trump can't talk about policy is because their policy really is Project 2025, which, you know, they want to take away rights. They want to just, you know, make this a dictatorship. So there's not a lot that they have to offer. And so, as you said, they played offense by coming out and laying all these policy items out. And you're right. It's going to, listen, presidents come all the time. They go, I'm going to make it so everyone's going to be better off. And there's going to be, you know, the country's going to be better in this way and that way and this way and that way. But ultimately, it's not.

a kingdom. You can't just make that happen. It's got to go through Congress. Some of these will pass. Some of these won't. Some of these will have a hard time. But hopefully some of these things do help. I mean, I'm always shocked at these people that you see in the Trump rallies and some of these rallies that are of lower income that are supporting these anti, you know, lower and middle income level policies and they just they just believe everything that said to your point the right is going to come out and just say this is communism they just throw around the word communism communism socialism they're trying to make this into russia yeah they're trying to make this into russia by helping out people on the bottom half and the the lower and middle class

and so good for them and you're right i i'd be interested to see how they're going to turn around and defend, the Republicans are going to defend, you know, not lowering rent or not lowering drug costs or not lowering, you know, not extending the child tax credit. I mean, J.D. Vance even said he wanted to extend the child tax credit. So maybe they'll just say, oh, they're trying to copy us. Like they said when Kamala said, I don't want to tax tips, Trump said that was my idea. So I mean, if ultimately they get to a point where the right is just going, that was my idea, then geez, now you're basically getting the same ideas, but from someone who's a lot more pleasant than Downer Donnie.

Yeah, well, there's a lot here, as we said, we do need more specifics. There's also a lot of areas of government policy, obviously they're not included in this. This is sort of focused around costs of things, but you know, we don't know exactly what our approach to energy will be, or climate, Ukraine, or Gaza, a lot of different air infrastructure. And so we do have to see. And we also have to see on all those areas what Donald Trump is going to do. He has said that he'll give us his plans in two weeks, and so I can't wait to find out.

Maybe Harris will bring up some of these other areas in her speech. But for now, we are gonna take a break. When we come back, we're gonna, as I said, dive into the price gouging part of this.

Okay. John, what's next? Okay, let's turn to more right-wing freakouts. She's basically going to bash businesses. She's going to accuse businesses once again of price gouging and excess margins. And I just want to say these charges by Biden and Harris are now three and a half years old plus. And there is no evidence of corporate price gouthing. or excessive margins or something called corporate greed. I love adding that at the end from Larry Cudlow.

Like he already is lying by saying there's no evidence of like the excessive margins or the price gouging. But also there's never been any evidence of greed. Yes, they're very charitable and they keep very slim margins. CEOs tend to drive 10 to 20 year old domestic cars. I've noticed that too Larry Cudlow. But why is he saying that? Well, he's saying that because earlier today, Thomas Harris announced that she is going to be doing as one of her first priorities when she gets into office fighting back against price gouging.

One of the things that has been driving the increase in prices over the last few years. And I love that right wingers are losing their mind over this because for several years now they've been saying Biden made the prices high. The prices are too high. Inflation this, inflation that you guys have got to get them out of there because the inflation. So then when the Dems are like, well, let's do something about it, they're like, no, the corporations. because that's of course who they're, that's their donors, that's who they care about. They need to whip people up into a frenzy about inflation so that they can get an office. And then once they're there, they can protect donors from any actual change to the status quo. Well, Harris does want to change the status quo, at least a little bit in this area.

And here she is describing that. I won more than $1 billion for consumers. So believe me, as president, I will go after the bad actors. And I will work to pass the first ever federal ban on price gauging on food. My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rules and get ahead. And as a part of that second thing, she also says that she is going to direct the government to put more scrutiny on proposed mergers when it comes to supermarkets and food

producers coming together, limiting choice, which has driven up costs. So we're going to get into a lot of this, including the evidence, just in case Larry Cudlow is watching, of not just evidence of the price gouging, but CEOs of these companies bragging about the price gouging. But first, we want to make sure that you know how much the right wingers are freaking out. It's not just cudlow. Here's a few more examples. I think if Kamala Harris is going to run on, I prosecuted corporations for price gouging, okay, if you're going to vilify corporations, the republic has got to come back and go, let me just explain to these corporations who they employ what they've done.

And their profit margin is so low, you have stopping shops going out of business every day. Supermarkets are having trouble making ends meet, so they're not the problem. And Kamala Harris, she wants to take us to the Soviet grocery stores. Continue to play cut 119. Kamala Harris is hearing the concerns of the American people. Her pollsters say, you gotta do something about this grocery problem, this price problem. So Kamala Harris is going full Soviet. Now Kamala is reportedly proposing communist price controls. She wants price controls.

And if they worked, I'd go along with it too, but they don't work. They actually have the exact opposite impact and effect. But it leads to food shortages, rationing, hunger, dramatically more inflation. None of that makes any sense. And she's not proposing price fixing. She's proposing a stop on arbitrary price gouging to increase profit margins in times where we have the difficulty that we have over the past few years. That's literally it. And again, you talked in the prior segment about, you go on the offense, they have to go on the defense, we'll look at how their tune has changed.

They're talking about high prices, high prices, high prices, now they're telling their audience, including conservatives who are struggling, stop being so mean to the corporations, aren't they great to you? And so I love to see it. Yeah, so again, let's break it down politics and policy. So I'm going to come back to why this is logical and good policy and what it means and it doesn't mean. mean communism, but first the politics, John's 100% right. Look at them flailing on defense. So my favorite out of all those clips, I mean, Cudlow's is the funniest, I'll come back to him. But Kilmead was my favorite because he's like, we, we Republicans have to defend corporate power. Corporations are great. We should make a defense of corporations. Oh, please listen to Brian

Kilmead. Please make that mistake, right? Oh my God, who's running this campaign? This is amazing. So I look, I thought getting rid of Joe Biden was going to be a huge win. we would have, because we would have a candidate who could speak. I didn't know that she could speak and strategize. This is gigantic win. Unbelievable. So look, again, if you don't follow American politics that closely, to have Democrats running correct strategy is just shocking.

So, so she puts them on the defense and now they're, communism, Soviet Union, nobody believes that. You know why? Because they're the boy who cried wolf. They've called every Democratic communist. They said that Barack Obama was a Marxist. We lived through eight years of Barack Obama. He did the bank bailouts. You know, when we did the economic recovery, 93% of the economic recovery went to the top 1%. What kind of Marxist is this? Okay, so that's going to fall flat. In fact, as he was showing the Russian store, grocery store behind him, or next to him, Charlie Kirk, I thought, is Tucker Carlson going to show up anything? He was literally

doing an old to Russian supermarkets like a minute ago, right? So none of that's going to work. Back to Cudlow, I wrote it down. There's no such thing as something called corporate greed. Oh, please run the entire campaign on defending corporate greed. Please, I'm bad. Oh, the Republicans are toast, man. Now look, I'm moving up Kamala Harris's chance of winning, like dramatically every single day.

I have not seen someone gain this much ground this quickly in a long, long time, if ever, okay? So now let's turn to the policy. By the way, before I do, God love, when he says there's no such thing as corporate greed. It reminded me of Baghdad Bob, you know? So that was Saddam's spokesperson, and the American tanks, he would say he'd get on TV and he'd be in the middle of Baghdad. And he'd be like, there are no Americans in Baghdad. You see American tanks behind him. Okay, and that's the same thing with Cudlow.

He's like, there is no corporate greed. There's like flashing screens of corporate greed behind him on CNBC and Fox and all the places he's been. All right, so on the policy end, everybody's saying, this is price controls. And by the way, you know corporations are freaked out because it's not just right wing media. All of a sudden, Washington Post columnists on cable news on CNN MSNBC going, This is bad, this is price controls. Wait a minute, she didn't say price controls. Because if she said price controls, I'd be out here telling you that's a bad idea.

They're not wrong that price controls don't work, in my opinion. Okay, and I could have a fight with a leftist on that, but that's not fundamentally correct economic policy. It does have counterproducing. But she didn't say price controls. So I read it carefully to make sure that I understood what she was saying. And granted, like the minutia of the policy is not laid. out, there's no bill yet, right? But based on what she said, she's going after price couching and enabling the government agencies to do that. Wow, that's so radical. That

already exists. That exists. So for example, when there's a natural disaster, like a hurricane, sometimes what they'll do is they'll jack up the price of water because you have limited supply. So they're like, oh, supply and demand. Now you really, really need this water. So I'm now going to, I used to charge a buck. Now I'm charging $200 for it. Now what are you going to do? Okay, you're going to let your, you know, you're going to die of thirst? No, that's price gouging. Can the government do something about it? Of course they can. So she's just saying, hey, take the thing that we already do for natural disasters and modify it for this situation. You know, is the devil in the details? How do you modify it? Can it go overboard? Sure, it can go overboard. And I would tell you if it did. But right now, this proposal is smart politically and from a policy perspective could work as well. Larry Cudlow's totally right. There's no such thing as corporate greed. Come on.

What are you talking about, guys? It's not like people are going around and you give CEOs more money. They're going to give it to everybody else. They're not going to go buy yachts and private jets. I mean, it's the most ridiculous thing for these guys to be defending these corporations the way they are. I thought of Gordon Gecko and Greed is Good and from Wall Street. And actually, Larry Cudlow looks like he could have been in the moment. movie Wall Street is like the CFO with those, you know, the white collars he's got.

He looks like a really greedy, perfectly greedy person. So, yeah, all of that to say, you know, these people that are screaming, oh, communism, communism, America is capitalistic at its core. And if you don't believe it, look at what it took. First of all, when COVID happened, it wasn't the government that shut us down. It was the MBA that shut us down. If you remember, it was Rudy Gobert at the press conference and he had COVID and he put his hand all over the microphones of all the other reporters. And then they canceled the game that night.

The NBA was like, oh, wow, we got to cancel. That's a private corporation. And then everything started closing down. Similarly, if you look at Donald Trump being kicked off, we tried for years to quiet Donald Trump down. The government didn't stop them. They tried impeachments. It didn't work, didn't work. But it was the social media networks that finally, that are private companies, that kicked them on.

off. So we are at our core, a capitalistic society. So this whole idea of like price gouging and going after price gougers is going to turn us into communists is the most ridiculous thing in the world. And by the way, the price gouging is not the only reason why we've had inflation. There was other causes to inflation obviously. And that's why it's amazing how like there's no room for nuance with these people. It's either you're a communist or you're a capitalist. You either like the corporations or you're going to be. Stalin. And it's just ridiculous that they are going out and saying these things. And I personally am all for, as you guys were saying, looking at the program and seeing what it is. And I think good

for her for putting it out there. And yes, clearly we've heard these CEOs on some of these calls talk about, oh, there's a great time for us to raise our prices, buy back our stocks, buy private jets. Look at the stock market. It's blowing up. And life is good. Well, maybe it's time for them to actually stop taking advantage of the situation. Okay, well, real quick, I'm going to give you some of those CEO quotes that Maz just promised you, and he's right, Rudy Gobert ruins everything. I bet on the wolves. Okay, the CEO of Iron Mountain Incorporated told Wall Street analysts at September 20th

investor event that the high levels of inflation of the past several years had helped the company increase its margins. And for that reason, he had long been, quote, doing my inflation dance, for inflation. Rodney McMullen, Kroger CEO said, our business operates the best when inflation is about 3 to 4 percent. A little bit of inflation is always good in our business. AutoZone, which sells parts, and accessories, so earnings jump 13%.

CFO Jemir Jackson called inflation, quote, a little bit of our friend in terms of what we see in terms of retail pricing. Because what they're saying is, look, when there's inflation, people, people are saying. people realize that we're going to raise prices so they don't object that much. So then we raise them even more because we realize, especially for food, the demand is inelastic. And what that means is they need to eat. And so as long as we've got enough of a monopoly on these grocery stores, we can charge them higher prices and they can't complain. So when you dance to it almost literally, right, in your shareholder meetings, then you can't turn around and pretend you're not doing price gouging.

later. And finally, I promised that earlier, the reason why Kamala Harris wasn't doing interviews yet was because they were formulating this plan on policy. Now she'll do the interviews and then they could ask her about these policy positions. That's why she was waiting. What about now? Whenever it hits you, wherever you are, grab an O'Henry bar to satisfy your hunger. With its delicious combination of big, crunchy, salty peanuts, covered in creamy caramel

and chewy fudge with a chocolatey coating. Swing by a gas station and get an O'Henry today. Oh hungry, oh Henry. She's a very strong communist lean. You're all going to be thrown into a communist system. It's a communist system. You're going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care. Donald Trump is now officially running on threatening people with a good time.

Look, he knows that millions of Americans desperately need health care and the way that he's scarce to say that you're all going to have health care. Okay, clearly a political genius and a stable. But anyway, it's crazy to declare that Kamala Harris in general is a communist, or that she in particular on healthcare is going to function as some sort of communist. And so although Harris has previously supported Medicare for All, she has since distanced herself from the ID, and a spokesperson recently confirmed the NBC News that she will not push single payer as president. And so what do you know, Donald Trump has told his first lie of the campaign, I guess.

But the interesting thing, she's not gonna be pushing for single payer healthcare. Do you know who did push for single payer healthcare for literally decades? Donald Trump actually, back in 1999, Trump told Larry King that healthcare should be considered quote, an entitlement and said, I believe in universal healthcare, which is pretty specific. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better. He praised Canada's single payer system in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve, citing its cost efficiency and the longer healthier lives of Canadians compared to Americans, which praising Canada's single-payer health care system seems like the sort of thing that would anger

the right. But in defense of Donald Trump, that was in one of his books, and so he probably had nothing to do with it whatsoever. But he's made a lot of statements like this. In May 2017, so this isn't just decades ago, he told Malcolm Turnbull, the Prime Minister of Australia, that, quote, you have better health care than we do. They have a single-payer system. In January 2017, he said, we're going to have insurance for everybody. In September 2015, he said, everybody's got to be covered. I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs to be votes or not, because coming out in support of single payer health care as a Republican could cost him votes. But I am going to take care of everybody. Not the private health

insurance industry will. I will do it. And then in 2000, to go back again, he says, I'm a conservative on most issues, but a liberal on health. We must take care of our own. We must have universal health care. And so look, obviously he has turned against that now. And, you know, he has said that he wants to kill the Affordable Care Act and replace it with something. We don't know what, as I sort of joked about earlier, he promised health care plan in two weeks. And you can see in this opinion piece from the Washington Post, it's been two weeks. And so we'll probably know soon. Sorry, that's actually a headline from 2020. And so it's been been four years and two weeks since he told us what he's gonna do on like a minor policy

area like healthcare after he's already run for years on killing the system we have right now. And so I understand why he would want to fearmonger around Kamala Harris. He apparently doesn't have any plan on this. Yeah, so surprising because one of the first things he said when he was president is they were having meetings about how to replace Obamacare and what to replace it with, you'll be shocked to find out they never came up with a plan to replace place, Obamacare, and he came out and said, nobody knew that health care was this complicated. All right, brother. Yeah, we all knew. So he said if you have universal health care in that clip, you're a communist. Well, I didn't know that literally every developed nation on earth other

than us are apparently communists. So Germany, UK, just name Norway, Japan, all communists, okay? So no, everyone has universal health care except us, even though we're the richest nation on earth. On average, it costs half of what it costs here. And it delivers better results to have higher life expectancy and better health in those countries than we do. We're the lone country that has corporate rule that dominates so badly that we're the only ones that don't have universal health care. The reason why Trump was saying back in 99 and 2000, well, obviously we should have universal health care. because at that point, we had not already lived for several decades under corporate mainstream media propaganda. Since 2000, they've done about 24 years of, how are you going to pay for that?

How are you going to pay for that? It's so expensive. So it's not just Fox News calling it communists. CNN and oftentimes MSNBC will scare the living crap out of anyone that ever proposes universal health care. When Bernie did it in the primaries, they're like, oh, socialist communist, how are you going to pay for it? It costs half as much. I'm going to pay for it and then have half the money left, right? So everyone in mainstream media has been a giant liar about this.

That's why Donald Trump can say something as preposterous as universal health care is communist. And it doesn't seem as jarring to people because that's what Jake Tapper's been saying for the last 20 years to pick one guy. All right, Maas. Yeah, it's amazing how he has, he was and continues to say, I've got a better plan for everything. So his whole idea with trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the first time was we're going to, you know, in two weeks we'll have a better plan, it'll be better, it'll be fantastic. And of course, as you said, he never had a plan. Similar to him, you know, when he got out of the Iran deal, I'll have a better deal in two weeks. Nothing happened after that.

Similar to him saying he's going to take care of immigration and build the wall, nothing. happen and so they don't have you know what it is it's a it's a culture of complaining and saying this is bad this is wrong this is expensive and really not having any solutions and to your guys's point as well what's bad about having health care for our country that they've really done a great job of convincing a portion of the country that can't afford health care that health care is bad for them because if they get health care then they're going to be communists and the world is going to go to hell and they're going to come after your guns and they're going to come after your stoves and they're going to come after everything that you stand up for. God forbid, you're able to go to a

doctor and not have to pay thousands of dollars out of your pocket for health care. So it's the most ridiculous thing in the world. And unfortunately, again, there is a portion of the population that believes this. And to your point, the corporate media has done a good job of making this seem like an actual thing. They have no plans. They have no actual better solution for any of the In a nuanced world, they would say, look, the Affordable Care Act isn't perfect. Let's find ways of improving it. But they have to go and say, we need to get rid of it. Obamacare, we've got to get rid of it.

I'm going to come up with something better. He's not going to come up with something better. And he makes comments like this. The guy has nothing to offer. He's got absolutely, I mean, all you've got to do is watch two minutes of this or listen to two minutes of his interview with Elon Musk or whatever it is. You realize, going back to the beginning of this program, all he's got are personal attacks. He's got nothing else.

And, you know, hopefully it'll continue to reflect in his numbers as it goes down, kind of like his truth, social media numbers continue to go down. Yeah, 100%. A super last thing is this is great politics by Kamala Harris. Because look at this. Now Donald Trump is arguing against universal health care, which is enormously popular in this country. So way to punch yourself in the face, Donald Trump. Nicely played.

It is hilariously out of control, so stay right here.
