I am your Fox News friend. Will and I work together, not on the same showgram, but oftentimes on the same floor when he is doing the Will Kane Show podcast here from glorious New York City on the 15th floor of 1211 Avenue of the Americas. Now you know where we are. will apparently is he's off on a surfing safari with his family there are a couple things that will and i have in common and it's why we get along number one we love freedom and i don't think either of us are ashamed to admit it i talk about freedom a lot

i have my own podcast here go to foxnewspodcast dot com and find kennedy saves the world it is an absolute delight and you can spend about 20 minutes a day with me five days a week on that fox news podcast again kennedy saves the world known as Kennedelia saves the world, depending if you've been drinking mojitos. Will and I like to surf. We love freedom. We love sports. We love our family. We see the absurdities in politics all the time. I am an ideological libertarian. I'm not a member of the Libertarian Party. I can always be talked into it. Haven't been so far. I definitely have some more conservative views than other libertarians. I make no apologies. about that but you know freedom don't hurt people don't take their stuff and stay out of my business

is pretty much the going ethos around here and the kennedalia household so will may be surfing right now and i will be going to maui next week so you know hopefully will doesn't start a conflagration and things should be just fine if the cane family makes it out of there and leave some surf in their wake I will be joining him, and I love that surfing is in the Olympics. I don't know if you've seen the incredible images. We also, what is now being regarded as the greatest Olympic photograph of all time, and that was Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina. He had such a great wave.

So in Tahiti, there's a very heavy wave called Chopu, or Tiyopu, depending on how you want to say it. And it was deemed unsurfable for a long time until Laird Hamilton and some other ball-heavy big wave surfers went over there and figured out how to throw down. So that's one of the things that I'm really excited to see in the Olympics. Of course, my daughters were USAG gymnasts for a long time for many years. And as a parent, you know, you always worry if your kids are doing. too much of one sport because that has been kind of the norm over the last 10, 15 years is kids specializing. And in sports like gymnastics, they kind of get picked out of a recreational program and thrust into, you know, one of the two governing body leagues in gymnastics. And USAG is, you know,

I would argue the more competitive one that leads to an Olympic track. I knew my girls were never going to be Olympians. But at one point, they were doing 20 hours a week in the gym. which was great because it kept him busy. They had good friend groups and social circles in the gym. It taught them, you know, work ethic and discipline and overcoming boredom. And, you know, a lot of things that kids who really aren't in sports aren't exposed to, especially in big cities where one or both parents are working. So I loved seeing Simone Biles back in 2021.

A lot of people gave her a hard time for having the twisty. people said that she was soft. She lost her work ethic. Look at these millennials. They're so lazy. And that only fueled her hunger to come back and taste gold once again. So I got to sit on the couch with my daughters. And one of them is now a gymnastics coach. And they were explaining to me the level of difficulty. Because sometimes it's hard to see in sports like that because when an athlete is really, really good. And it doesn't matter if it's track or gymnastics, even surfing. You know, if you watch someone like Kelly Slater, who would be the equivalent in surfing to Simone Biles, they make it look so incredibly effortless. So I was sitting on the couch with my girls, the same that we

had done in 2021 and 2016 and 2012. And in 2008, before my youngest was born, my three-year-old daughter than that's when she really developed the gymnastics bug. But what I loved about Simone Bile's story, she went through something incredibly difficult, came back, did less gymnastics, and emerged a better gymnast, a more well-rounded person who talks about how hard she has to work, talks about the physical limitations of being 27

and staying in a sport where, you know, the only people who are doing Olympics at that age for women are like the, you know, the 40-year-old Albanian vultors who are competing for other countries. So Simone Biles is a phenom, but such an incredible example of a hardworking, authentic person. Contrast that with, you know, another woman who is eclipsing headlines right now, and that is Kamala Harris, who's sucking all the oxygen out of the room, thanks to a handy press, who is very happy to whitewash her horrible record. But when you compare these two women, like Simone Biles is the kind of person I want my daughters to be.

Kamala Harris is the kind of person I want to go away and stay out of politics forever because she combines two of the worst aspects in humanity. And that is incompetence and ambition. Incompetence is fine as long as you are not in a position of power. Incompetence married with ambition is truly dangerous. because you're really only in it for yourself. You are not moored by any particular honorable political ideology. You're just swinging for the fences because you want to put up some numbers for the sake of your own portfolio, your own power portfolio. And that's what I see Kamala Harris doing.

And she's the kind of person, the kind of politician, that I would never want my daughters to be. someone especially who was so shrouded in victimhood and the idea that you want to be the most powerful person in the world, but you want to be shielded from criticism because of your immutable characteristics. I think it is absolute dog crap. It is garbage. She is more dangerous than we could have ever ever fathomed because she is so close to the presidency. And I wouldn't be surprised. And I know I've heard other people say this if Joe Biden steps aside. So, you know, she gets the top job for at least a couple of weeks. So she makes it onto the place mat. Our little Gerald Ford. So we're going to talk about freedom. We're going to talk about

Kamala Harris today with a couple of people who look at politics, who look at elections from their own independent lenses, including the red-headed libertarian who joins me now. She is, TRHL official on X. She also hosts her own show on X. Josie, welcome to the Will Kane show. Hi, Kennedy. Thank you for having me. I can't hear you very well. Somebody had turned the volume down on that end. Can you hear me now? How about now? It's like an old Verizon commercial. Can you hear me now? It's very quiet. Oh, it's so, it's so quiet. It's like a Bjork song. I always love going to the 90s. Can you hear me now? Isn't that a fun way of asking things? Okay, so we're going to have you hold on one second.

We're going to fix some things from our end and hopefully we have a better interface because I really, really want to know what Josie has to say because right now she is being told if you are a woman and if you are a white woman, then you are going to vote for Kamala Harris. And if you don't, it's because you are racist and sexist or you are. so feeble and empty-headed, your Republican husband has told you how to vote. And I remember when that was one of Hillary Clinton's excuses. And, you know, it's taken this long. It's taken eight years for another woman to really be taken seriously and be her major party's nominee for president because Hillary Clinton wrecked it for so many women. And, you know, now Kamala Harris,

who didn't even have the blessing of her party, if she did, they would have taken the same mechanism they used to push Joe Biden out of the White House, and they would have done it a year and a half ago to make sure that they would have had an open primary. So some of the other big name, well-regarded Democrat contenders could have jumped into the fray, fought each other, and one of them would have emerged victorious as opposed to the coronation that we've just had, which is pretty much one of the most undemocratic things you could ever see, especially in the wake of essentially the resignation of the president, who is now not going to seek a second term,

and the assassination attempts of the leading candidate for president, which was essentially not only forgotten on most network newscasts, but also if you if you try and search it good luck thanks google all right josie is back with us she's the redheaded libertarian she has the show on x she's a delight um so welcome to the will cane show thank you for having me kennedy i can crisis averted i can hear everything so how where does kamala harris sit on your freedom meter i think she is probably as low as you can possibly go. I mean, from her record as a prosecutor over in California to the fact that she's accomplished absolutely nothing now. And the comment she said about immigration, free immigration

coming across the border with an open border. And how when she was running in 2019, she said she'd be a prosecutor president. So that's kind of anti-freedom as well. She's very, she leans very communist to me with her kind of anti-family, anti-religion, anti-history. anti-truth sort of vibe that I get from her. So she's probably the worst possible, possible person to have at president. Yeah. And, and, you know, you bring up a good point because when, and that's one of her pushes now because obviously law and order is very high up on the list for a lot of voters, particularly in big blue cities where they have voted Democrat for years and years. You know, it is a multi-generational phenomenon. They have been told that, you know, Democrats are the only ones

who care. Republicans have forsaken you. Therefore, you have to vote for the statist Democrats. And that's the system where she came up in California through San Francisco as the district attorney in San Francisco, Attorney General of the state of California. And then the Senate, and, you know, she's never really been challenged, but she's running as a cop, as a prosecutor. But if you look at her record in California, she was always putting. the wrong people in prison. She was, she was incarcerating people who deserved a second shot, who deserved freedom. But now her policies have led to this rampant crime in California. And the people who really should be prosecuted are somehow, you know, they also get to share her cloak of

victimhood and they get a pass. How can you have it both ways? Yeah. She put something like 1,500 people in jail for pot crime. She held a man, she withheld evidence that would have freed a man from death row and had to be forced to put forward that evidence. She held people beyond their sentences and used them as cheap labor. Yeah, so they could fight wildfires. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But then when you have people who are actually doing bad things, you know, like hurting children,

I mean, she's not the, she's not a prosecutor there anymore. but now those people have kind of this, they're not punished, but you're still having people who, you know, really didn't do things as bad, get punished. You know, she's imprisoned parents for their truant kids. So the fact that when she was challenged on this in 2019, and she stood by her record and said, I'm going to be a prosecutor president.

And since then, she has done nothing. She's achieved nothing. She's changed nothing. She has no positive record of doing anything over the last four years at all. yet she has this amazing PR team where people suddenly think she's she's some sort of goddess. Yes, white dudes for Kamala. It's very interesting seeing the process because, you know, the same team minus Anita Dunn, who was one of President Biden's most trusted senior advisors.

You know, she was definitely in the inner circle. But the rest of them, they will do whatever they can to prop up a person. and make them seem viable. So who, you know, if you don't mind me asking, because people ask me this all the time, and I don't have an answer for them right now. You know, they say, who are you voting for? It doesn't matter because I vote in California.

So it really doesn't matter who I vote for president, and I always write in my friend's names for all the judges. At some point, Kat Timp is going to look very good in a black robe in Superior Court in California. But who are you voting for? I have written in Ron Paul every single year since 2012. Nice. Do you think that Rand Paul will run again?

It's hard to say he's one of my favorites. I actually, I'm one of the rare libertarians who found Rand Paul before I found Ron Paul. And I really liked him. But what gets people into office is charm and charisma and as much as I adore Rand Paul. And I love his personality. He doesn't have that sort of charisma that presidents have. So it's very competent. I mean, you know, it's like you look at the landscape now and it's almost like it feels like all bets are off.

Like everything is weird and chaotic. If there were ever a time for someone to come in who is a prickly pair who just wants to cut taxes, cut spending, reduce the size and scope of the federal government, you know, and we always say that to ourselves. This libertarians, like, well, now is the moment. Now is the time. Like people are so sick of the two-party system, but they never really get there. Yeah. And he's Superman's son. So, you know, and we've seen him survive getting attacked from behind from his neighbor.

We saw him survive COVID with one and a half lungs because he had to have part of his lung removed after that attack. You know, we saw him survive a train, a train crash. We saw him survive the shooting at the ballpark. Like, you know, this man is invincible. We've seen physically. And he's unshakable when it comes to his integrity when it comes to cutting spending and standing up against people and voting against unpopular bills that everybody likes because their name something pretty.

But I think he would be great. I just wish that more people weren't like, oh, well, he's not like nice. He's not silly. He's not, you know, charming. And that's the kind of things that people will vote for when they're looking for. president. Yes. When Megan the stallion is on the stump for you, if that's all that matters to you, we're screwed as a country. Absolutely. And, you know, I think that that's what's bringing people into Kamala's rallies is having, it's free concerts. You're going to go to a place where

people might not be able to ever, ever afford to do that. And you're like, we're going to have it free. And you're going to bring people into your rally. And people are going to think they're there to see Kamala when they're just there for a hip hop. concert. And I think that they saw that that worked in Georgia, and they're going to probably keep that strategy up. Do you think the presidency is too powerful? Because, you know, it's like when people, when Biden was really faltering after the debate, and a lot of people are like, you know, I might just vote for Trump. Like, it's not really going to be that much different. Do you agree with that? Do you think the presidency is constrained, or is it too powerful? And would a president

Kamala really be a threat to the way our country exists right now? It depends on the, it depends on if the Supreme Court and Congress want to restrain that power because we saw when President Trump was in office, he could hardly get anything done because he kept being blocked by Congress for everything, even the little things, was very oppositional Congress. So that would be part of it. And I think that the presidency does have too much power. Congress has given away a lot of their powers,

including their war powers, to the president. So I believe that as the founders intended, the presidency should be so, it shouldn't matter who's there because they shouldn't have any power that would change the world, essentially. Yeah, and I agree with you. And I wish there were someone, the one thing I liked about Trump is he put people in charge of entire departments who really couldn't stand them. And, you know, it's like I love that Thomas Massey is always trying to put forth legislation to completely get rid of entire federal departments that we don't need. They are truly superfluous, especially the Department of Education.

I wish we had someone who looked around and went, you know what, taxes are too. damn high. And instead of, you know, these these falsehoods that status put forward, like, you know, the Trump tax cuts only benefited the top 10%. It's like, that is bull crap on a stick. And I wish, I didn't have to soften my language. But here on the Will Kane show, this is a family show. And, you know, and I wouldn't want to turn your redhead gray. Oh, I'll go white before I'll go gray, apparently, allegedly. So actually, George Washington only had four positions in his cabinet. So he had, let me see, state, treasury, war, and defense.

Well, now we have the Kama Sutra. Now we have so many positions. Everyone's running around and the Congress of the cow. It's not good for business. I mean, it really isn't because people are regulated and taxed out of existence. And, you know, with the Fed raising interest rates, it's impossible to get a loan. You can't start your own business. And it is horrible for a system, you know, it's like they love to pay lip service to small businesses or the backbone of the economy.

It's like, well, why don't you get out of the way so people can actually start businesses and do cool things? You know, so someone can come up with the next door dash or the next ooh. Uber. But anytime something cool comes along, the status have to march in and wreck it. You know, Elizabeth Warren's like, well, there's just not enough regulation in crypto. I really think that we need to regulate ride sharing out of office. You know, when Mamaw and Pee Paul were on the reservation, they didn't have a lift. They got smallpox from the whites. I thought that that was so good.

I thought that Elizabeth Warren actually came and infected your body and came out of your mouth. That was incredible. It is an infection. It is that brand of thinking. It really is an infection. So I guess, you know, so what do we do? Do we use the Spike Cohen model where we just try and get liberty-minded people to run for a local office and take it over with trickle up economics? That's how the communists did it.

The communists started at low level. And they got into the school boards and the sheriff's department and the select boards. And from there, they got into their state offices. And from there, they got into the federal offices. And now they are leading every institution in America. And so if we can learn anything from the communists, it's how to infiltrate a country and take it back or take it over. I mean, in their case, but in our case, to take it back. That's what the Rajneeshis did.

I remember growing up in Oregon. That's what they did. They took over town and ran for all. all the posts and kicked everyone out and they were all boning each other and wearing red. And you know, it's like they were like the precursor to the modern commies we have now. I do not like communists. Me neither. I'm anti-communists. Yes. And that's why your red hair protects you like a freedom shield. So Josie, I want to thank you for taking the time here. And please tell everyone where they can find your show on X. Absolutely. Thank you so much. You can find me on X at

T-R-H-L official, or you can go to timcast.com and become a member over there and help to support our work. Phenomenal. Thank you so much for your time. I always appreciate it. Thank you, Kennedy. Absolutely. So we are going to check in with the party people who play songs, and they're going to keep this dance party going. And I'm going to talk to the missing link generationally, an actual Gen Zier who might have the best sense of what is to come in this country. Stay with me, it's Kennedy, on The Will Cain Show.

It's great to see you. Thank you for having me. So you're you're young and scrubbed. I'm definitely a Gen Z. I've been following all of this Kamala drama on social media. It is drama. The coconut memes. I want less coconuts and more talk about policy and how

she's actually going to help people in this country, but the young people seem to be eating up the memes right now. Yeah, no, they've really figured out TikTok campaigning. Exactly. And I knew this is a thing a few years ago because my daughters had come in and be like, you are not going to believe what I saw on TikTok. And I was like, how do we unring this bell? And they discovered South Park and unwrung it on their own. What's so funny to me is that Kamala and Biden have said they would sign a TikTok ban if it passed their desk. But they want to use TikTok the next few months to reach young voters.

And then they're going to take it away from them. But what I found out this morning before I came in here is that Kamala has spent $28.6 million in Internet advertising in the last seven days. Trump has only spent $1.4 million. So I don't think there's a lot of organic love for Kamala Harris. I think they're just astro-turfing her. Yeah, blasting her all over the internet, tens of millions of dollars to put her out on the internet. Does that work, though? Are people that dumb? So it could work because Kamala didn't have to run in a primary.

She didn't have an open convention. You know, she hasn't really been battle tested. She's hoping she can just coast the next 90 days on vibes and coconut memes. But I think the American people are smart. And, you know, when I go to Kamala's page, I don't see any discussion about issues that matter to my generation. Like, homeownership is the top concern for every Gen Z person. How am I going to They're just going to promise you free homes. They're not going to be able to deliver it. No, they're not going to deliver anything. It would be mathematically impossible. They haven't been

able to do it in her home state of California where she didn't make the housing crisis any better. No, she absolutely did not. They're also trying to buy votes right now by doing, you know, the student loan forgiveness and all of that. But I don't think it's going to be enough. You know, when I go to her page, she's laughing, she's dancing. She's having a good time. I can't help but think that world leaders, you know, Kim Jong-un, President Xi, Putin are seeing Kamala dancing and laughing and thinking, oh, we're just sitting ducks for more attacks. Like, she doesn't show strength on the world stage in any way, shape, or form. I think that's a really good point, because if you are going to be the first female president of the United States, I hate to say it,

but you got to have balls. You got to be tough. And if you notice, Kamala's team has been keeping her away from any sit-down interviews. They're scared to have her do any. Even with Lester Holt, You know, remember when she was like, I haven't been to Europe either. They're like, have you been to the border? She's like, I haven't been to Guatemala. It's like, can you just go to Arizona, Texas? Can you go visit the border, please? Literally anywhere.

Just take Air Force 2 to Eagle Pass. She has no problem flying around for fundraisers and Hollywood events, but she wouldn't go down to the border. That's how I felt about President Biden as well. You know, he had all the time in the world to hang out with Zelensky and go to events and hang out with celebrities. You couldn't go down to the border when we have the worst immigration crisis. American history. Yeah, you're more worried about the Ukrainian border. Right, exactly.

Which is sad. We're funding the Ukraine border. But it's like, I would be very surprised if the chancellor of Germany went to Eagle Pass, Texas, or Brownsville. Like that would, that would be, you know, it's like stay in your own lane, but that's what we're doing in Ukraine. 100%. So I mean, I wish there were some more urgency. And, and, you know, I am the daughter of an immigrant. You know, my mom fled communism and came here from Romania. Okay. And I have a different view of immigrants because, you know, they are the hardest working people in the country. I do not hate them. I do not demonize them. Right. I think there are a lot of people who do at their own peril. But I think our system is broken. Right. It is impossible for people to come into this

country legally. Illegal immigration, that lane is wide open. And if you talk to people who have tried for years to get their green card, it's really, really frustrating. because, you know, they do not violate any traffic laws. They do not steal things from CVS or Lulu Lemon, yet they are having the hardest time. However, any of their compatriots can just waltz right in. Right up the honeyhole, right into Arizona or Texas. What's so interesting, I'm from Texas, so this really does hit home. And I went down to the border recently in April, and I did a whole border tour.

We went to see the wall. We visited NGOs and nonprofits. these local border towns are bearing the brunt of the federal government's failure. So their hospitals, their food banks, they don't have the finances and the resources to take care of all these illegal migrants. Or the NGOs. Yeah, exactly. But Biden and Kamala just want to sit in D.C.

They want to coast and try to make it to November 5th. But I don't know what's going to happen. It's interesting. The Democrats seem to forget that Bill Clinton, I believe, in the 90s was the one who said we're a country of immigrants, but were also a country of laws. And so if they could just go back and look at what they said in their own party, if you look at some of the things Democrats used to say in the 90s, early 2000s, they would be considered right-wing talking points now. We used to believe in strong immigration. But I don't think

that's even the number one concern for young people immigration. I really think it's economic, it's inflation. And if Kamala doesn't start speaking to the needs of those young people, they're going to get tired of her. What goes up, comes down with Jinzi. They're going to get tired. Especially a sugar high. That's a thing because, you know, you have enough time before the election where she could implode. But okay, here's what I do like about this. Tony Kennedy. Because I know you were working with RFK-JU.

Yes. RIP. I like that we have a truncated cycle. I mean, for me, for what I do, I love being able to talk about politics. I think the horse race is endlessly fascinating. I think human beings are flawed and deeply entertaining when their flaws are on display.

Right. And they make unforced errors constantly. that's really fun to talk about. And seeing people rise and fall and jockey and capitalize on other people's mistakes, I think it's very, very fascinating. But I do like this short three-month little cycle that we have. Well, that's what they do in Europe, you know, with Niger Farage. I think he only ran for like 30 days, 40 days in the UK.

So it is insane that we have 18-month election cycles. It is a lot. And, you know, Hillary Clinton in 16, I think she spent $1.2 billion running for office and still loss. Still the best president we've ever had. So, you know, what's interesting is Kamala's team and the Democrats, they're touting all of this fundraising. I've been reminding people, dollars don't vote, people vote, right?

So it's great Kamala's raising all this money that was being withheld from Biden. But Hillary outraised Trump 2X in 16 and still went home to Chappaqua, New York to go hiking through the woods. You know, she's still lost. Throwing vases at John Fedesta. Smashing cell phones. So, yeah, with Kamala Harris, one thing we did really well in the Kennedy. campaign is I scripted a lot of videos for our social media geared toward young voters.

In fact, this young voter script was the most successful video since the inception of the campaign. And all it was was Bobby Kennedy next to a tree reading issues that matter to young people and talking about how he's going to help them. There was no special effects. We had no big budget for the video. Some people on the campaign didn't even want to make the video. If his voice was a little bit more functional, do you think it would have been a different race? No, I don't.

I definitely don't. I do. You think a little bit? I'm just being honest. I know it's not his fault. I know that he has a medical condition that affects how he is able to communicate. Right. But I do think that there, that for some people, it was a vulnerability or a barrier. For sure. I mean, it's complicated because someone who was in the thick of it for so long, you know, we were pushed out of the Democratic primary. There was really no primary. Which I thought was awful. Right. And shameful. Yeah, exactly. Even with

New Hampshire, they said if you step foot in New Hampshire, we're not going to count it. So we're going have you arrest it. I'm going to throw you in a gulag. Don't flash those pretty blue eyes at us. So, yeah, I think the voice definitely doesn't help him. I actually think it's kind of a cool superpower. Like Batman has a really weird voice. Some people just have, you know, interesting voices.

But I think it would have been hard anyway because they weren't going to have him in any way, shape, or form. And he has his own flaws as a candidate. But one thing we did well were these videos that spoke to young people. And Kamala, I don't know what they're doing. They've got millions of eyeballs on them. They're incredibly viral. Why not put out some videos with, hey, a three-point plan to help young people get into homes?

A five-point plan to help fix our education system. People would absolutely love to hear that. Like, all hope is not lost. But also, the next sentence should be, and here's how the government is going to save you, because they're not. No, they're absolutely not. And I can't imagine that she will have both houses of Congress. It is possible. I mean, it's not out of the realm of possibility.

it's not entirely probable, but it could happen. No, exactly. I think we got a long way to go till November 5th. I think J.D. Vance is taking a beating right now in the public. I think Trump is laying low a little bit. And I know there are a lot of people who disagree with me. I don't care. I don't think he was the best choice.

I think that was an emotional decision after the former president was nearly assassinated. I think that he probably had some other top contenders that were swirling. I think that he really, really liked Doug Bergam, but, you know, super vanilla. It's a fascinatingly boring. But I thought that J.D. Vance was, especially now with the race having changed, I would like to see Donald Trump swap out. I would like to see him swap in Tulsi Gabbard. Because Tulsi Gabbard took apart Kamala Harris' presidential campaign in a paragraph. Yes.

So if she were on the stump appealing to, it's like, you know, my oldest can vote for the first time. I imagine that that's a person that she would look up to and say, what an interesting life story she has. She's a patriot. She's a combat veteran. She's an independent. She was a Democrat. She knows the devil from within. I thought that she would have been a much better choice.

It's funny we're meeting for the first time because we're on the same page about everything. I think maybe Tulsi's a mutual friend of ours. And I was making videos for months and months in Tulsa, you know this, saying I thought she would have been a great VP pick. I thought she'd bring some independence, some disaffected Democrats, people on the fence. And like you said. And some aloha. She knew how to dismantle Kamala Harris in that debate, calling her out on throwing people in prison and then laughing about smoking marijuana. So I was in this very same building, you know, weeks before the convention saying, you know, I'm in favor of Doug Bergum, a Glenn Yonkin, someone who's kind of more of an elder statesman.

But I'm learning to like J.D. Vance. I'm open to getting to know him. I don't think this is the end-all be-all for J.D. Vance. He's getting some bad press now. But people have to remember Trump's Access Hollywood tape came out a month before his election in 16. And he's still won. Right before the second debate and everyone's like, he's dropping out. He's done. And he still ended up beating the most powerful potential, we know, woman to ever. Who is up by 30 points. Exactly. So I don't think it's the end-all be-all for J.D. Vance. I think he should come out and articulate exactly what he means in a very clear way. Between cat ladies and couch humping, I don't know if he will be able to overcome that. I don't know. He's got the- And I don't think he's a bad guy. I think, you know, it's like, I like Ohio. My daughter goes to college in Ohio. My uncle and his family live in Ohio. Right. My family's from Ohio, too. Yeah, it's a great state. Right. It's a wonderful place to be from. Exactly. No, I'm learning to love J.D. Vance. If he had made some jokes about the cat comments and then apologized, express contrition, Americans love when you fall on the sword and say you're sorry. If he had said, you know what, I'm sorry. I said a dumb, idiot thing. Here's what

I really meant. There's a war on families in this country, family values. You could have just ended it there. When you don't just nip it in the bud within the first day or two, and I learned this from our campaign, the media is going to help it grow legs and it's going to continue on for weeks and weeks and weeks. And that's what's happened with the childless cat lady comments. I mean, for me, 75, 80% of my audience on TikTok and Instagram is all women. You know, I've got girls. I've got their moms. Two women just came up to me the other day saying, we watch your videos. And I'm like, these are my people. I would never alienate them. I'd be a little more careful with what I said about women for that reason. I also think politics is about addition and

bringing people in. You don't want to exclude anybody. And so if J.D. Vance could just articulate what he meant and maybe just express a little contrition. I think they're probably having meetings saying, well, if he apologizes, then he's capitulating to the liberal MSNBC mob. But I think this is one of those instances from a comm's perspective, just apologize. What do you have to lose? And move on and move on. Yeah. And, you know, it's like, that's when you just have to turn to some old school advice. Right. Like, what would they have told Ronald Reagan if you were accused to humping the couch? You know, I'd have been like, yeah. Yeah. At least I wasn't impregnating 16-year-olds. Right. I would lean into the couch, but that's just me. I don't know. I think if

he showed a little sense of humor, I think J.D. Vance needs to have his speeches punched up a bit. His public speaking. And he's a great writer. Here's the problem. So I want you to continue that, but I just, I want to give you a quick aside. No, tell me. So I was, and I believe you were there as well. I was in the, I wasn't in the room.

I was backstage at Gutfeld, watching the J.D. Vance speech at the R&C. And I was like, he is a great writer. But if you take me somewhere, like, I am a pretty gracious audience. I don't care if I agree with you. Like, I teared up when Michelle Obama gave her final speech at the D&N. If you take me somewhere, I will go with you. I want goosebumps. Go on that journey.

I want to be emotionally connected to whatever you're saying. Like Sarah Huckabee Sanders, I was like sobbing. Luckily, I was alone in my hotel room because that was embarrassing. But she emotionally connected with the candidate, with her audience, with her family. It was masterful. And then J.D. Vance like, yeah, and then this one time. And everyone's buried in Kentucky. And I was like, come on, man.

I actually felt like. It was well written. but emotionally empty. Right. Yeah, it's interesting we're on the same page about all these things. I keep saying that, but I felt like the convention speeches could have been punched up. I think Kamala Harris I read last night, she's being praised

for giving these 20 to 30 minute speeches. Like she gets in, she gives a short speech to a crowd, she does some media and gets out. I think if the Trump campaign can adopt some of that, because anyone who's been to a Trump rally, you know near the end, some people are going to their cars. It can get long. The RNC, the older guy next to me,

started doing squats. I thought he dropped his phone. No, Martha and Brett. He was like, no, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm back to Martha and Brett after the convention speech, after Trump's convention speech, they're like, well, that's a lot to dissect. That was, there was like, he was like, and then in our country, I'm like, yes, it's going to be nice and shah, and then the family. I look in the, the family box and they're all gone, I'm like, yes, they're backstage. She's going to be five minutes later. It was like watching SpongeBob. Three hours later. One eternity later. But yeah, it was long. Like I said, though, I'm learning to like J.D. Vance.

He's got the blue ocean eyes, the facial hair. He does kind of the normie dad wave to people. So I'm learning to like him, but he needs to articulate what he means very clearly. We've got less than 100 days left. So you can't leave wiggle room for people to question where you stand. I think there's wiggle room. I think you swap Tulsi right in. Can they do that legally?

I haven't even looked into it. As much as I can't stand Nikki Haley, I really can't stand her at all. If he had chosen Nikki Haley as VP, oh my God, this election would be over. It would be buttoned up. Over. And I don't want the people out there to think that I am a big Nikki Haley fan because I'm not at all. Okay, Warmonger. She started dropping bombs on North Korea, China, Iran.

This is about her sitting on the board of Boeing? Yeah. Not to borrow the Vivik's talking. points. But yeah, no, Nikki Haley, I think if you had chosen her, it would have been a slam dunk. But we always have close elections. I think we were riding high because of everything going on with Trump and then going into the convention. It seemed like, oh, he's going to win in a landslide. Elections always come down to a few hundred thousand people across five or six states, right? So this election is probably not going to be any different. It never is. I mean, that's welcome to

American presidential politics. And that's what, and that is what is. Absolutely. is what is maddening about Kamala Harris being, you know, parachuted in at the most convenient possible moment because she can't really be tested. That's why the Obamas didn't rush to endorse her because she's not a good candidate and we deserve better. Absolutely. The last thing I'll say on that topic, I don't know how much time we have left, but I really believe Kamala is an illegitimate candidate. You know, she didn't run in the primary. They didn't have an open convention. They slaughtered her in and coronated her on a Sunday afternoon and just gave her all the money they'd been raising for Biden. They would have had to have returned it to donors. Absolutely.

And this is the party of democracy. They could have had a quick, short primary. I think the voters would have felt better about that. Now the Democratic elite MSNBC, they've all got their talking points. Trump is weird. J.D. Vance is weird. They all coalesced around Kamala. That's not how this country should be.

If Kamala wins, how is she going to go and protest, you know, the corrupt elections in Russia when we just had an illegitial. legitimate candidate who was coordinated on a Sunday afternoon. Vladimir Putin, he's going to say that next time he sits down with Chris Wallace. Okay, I want to play this for you because I want your reaction to this, because this is like, this is a social contagion that happens to every person who runs for president. Okay. Let's hear Kamala Harris with her new affectation. And you all helped us win in 2020, and we're going to do it again in 2024.

Woo! Give it all! Yes, we will. We will. She said puiress. So she's got this new southern accent, and it's like, cheeseball swanson. Yeah, I think she's just taking on fake accents wherever she goes. But here's the thing about Kamala Harris.

It's not just the accent. Konichiwa, Japanese American ambassadors for freedom. It's like, lady, you can't do that. Like, someone has to call her out. This is cultural appropriation. This is bigotry. This is nonsense. She's a fraud, stolen valor.

But Kamala Harris Kennedy has never stood for anything. One week she wants to ban fracking. Now she's like, drill, baby, drill. I love fracking, you know. One week she wants to defund the police. Now she's Sarah Palin. Yeah, exactly. Now she doesn't.

Oh my God, I wish she was Sarah Palin. Wish she had that personality. But no, with me, Kamala stands for nothing. So the fake accent isn't any different. Yeah. She's a camellium. You pour terriaki on tofu? It tastes like terriaki.

You pour curry on tofu? tastes like curry. Will, if you're watching this, we've taken your show off the rails. I apologize. But yeah, no, with Kamala, she stands for nothing and you fall for everything if you stand for nothing with her. So we'll have to see what happens. She is garnering a lot of support. I think if I were Trump's team, I would be hunkering down, preparing for that debate on September 10th. I would show up to that debate ready to call her on her record, to hold her accountable, to do all the things you need to do. Because right now, she's going to announce her VP. She's going to do a whole VP tour. they're going to have their convention August 19th.

Kamala is going to eat up the media for the next few weeks. The one thing I'll say, though, I firmly believe people get tired of Kamala, the more they see her. I think you see that voice, and now what y'all are going to do is where we're all going to ride and gety up into the show. No, with Kamala, the more you see her laugh and she has Megan the Stallion performing for her, I think people are going to get sick of her. So even with, you know, Trump and other candidates, they can get oversaturated. I think Trump should take some time, hunker down, figure out your battle strategy. Do you think she's going to do at Wop with Megan on the road? Does her audience know what Wop even means?

That's my question as well. But no, with Megan the Stallion, I love how in like 2016 you had Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Katie Perry. Now she's like, Megan the Stallion, you know. We'll see if Beyonce shows up for the convention. But none of these celebrity endorsements even mean anything. Like I said, Hillary. Not in this day and age. Hillary had every celebrity on earth endorse her.

So did Joe Biden. So did Joe Biden. That turncoat George Clooney. He's angling for the vice presidency. You think Clooney wants that V-Bee's spot? Oh, yeah, he does. One role he's never had. That's exactly right.

He's like, I'll just smile with these giant chicklets for four years from Lake Como. I will zoom in. And what's his wife's name? She's like a wannabe like Virtue Signal. Amal. Amal. What's her name? Amal.

Yeah, Cluny. Yeah. But, no, Clooney, maybe he wants that VP spot. I think she'll probably choose Shapiro or Andy Bashir or someone like that. I mean, I think she wants Pennsylvania. Oh, that's the pro-Palestine crowd will love that. Yeah, exactly. You're going to lose their minds.

Like, if she, like, I think she should choose Josh Shapiro. Right, exactly. Like, he's a moderate, popular governor from a must-win state. But, you know, she's so terrified of Rashida Talib. She's going to be like, oh, I'm going to lose the gamble. Rashida Tilly with her paddle, she holds up. More criminal. I said it again.

Me when Chili's runs out of ranch. But yeah, no, I have no idea. I think she'll probably choose Josh Shapiro, and then that'll give her a whole bunch of press. I think Josh Shapiro, he's also taken on this kind of Obama voice recently. They're all just taking on new characters, new voices. They're like, we've got a couple weeks till November 5th. We're just going to make up what anything and just coast until we get there.

Oh, my garden. Well, it's certainly going to be a fascinating end of summer into fall. I would love to talk to you again, Link Lauren. I think you're busy, where can people find you? You can find me on. I don't know if y'all are on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, just It's Link Lauren, L-I-N-K, L-A-U-R-E-N. Are you related to Ralph Lauren? No, not.

Wouldn't that be great? That would be great. You could get us into the Pollo Lounge someday. I know. I'd have a really sick wardrobe. But thank you so much for having me, Kennedy. I am a huge fan of yours. Will. And I know I should act like I've been here before, but I'm always grateful when

Available now at Fox News Podcasts.com or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm talking. I'm just adjusting things. I was a roadie for a long time in the 90s.

No, I wasn't. It's The Will Kane Show, Kennedy in for Will Kane. I'm sorry, my top knot is crooked. Oh my gosh, that's so much better. Will is in paradise right now. No, he's not in heaven, thankfully. Can I say where he is, gentlemen? Of course.

All right, he's in Hawaii. Heck yeah. So what are people saying on the message boards and the blogs and the AOL Instant Messenger? People are loving you guys. We've got a live chat going on. People are loving Link. Yeah, Link is amazing. I have to say, because a lot of people write off the Gen Z Politico's.

Yeah. And there's Patrick. Hi, Patrick. Thumbs up, Camo. I dig it. I'm with it. I love survivalism. So I celebrate whatever you're doing.

Yeah. Probably don't want to at this point. And that's fine. Someone charmed the pants off of them earlier. But it's nice to see someone because oftentimes these Gen Z years, people assume that they're lazy and leftist. And I don't know exactly where Link leans. A lot of alliteration there. But I do appreciate what he had to say.

No, it was great. A lot of people are liking it. Not a lot of Kamala fans, as you would expect in the chat. What? Especially about the accent. And people, I've actually done that before. think with a southern accent because I have a low voice and it could sound like hey y'all how you doing and i've done it one time that's a nice drawl but that just means you speak

slowly and deliberately exactly yes but she was doing it for a very specific reason and for that reason a lot of people in the chat think she's very fake no she she's disingenuous and it is her inauthenticity because you know on of course anyone who questions her record and it could be like um you hate fracking you hate guns you're a confiscator you've started Stop slut shaming her this moment. It doesn't matter who she dated before our second gentleman. You're disgusting, you perverts. You just want to subjugate women.

The original slick Willie, as some would say. Yeah, as Bill would say. Okay, but I will tell you a fun fact about Willie Brown, and people outside of California don't know this. If you ever spend time with the Californian, they don't flush after Tinkle. and it is because of Willie Brown because when California was going

through a massive drought, the thing that he is most famous for is the phrase that was drilled into every Californian's head. If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down. And so anytime you spend, and this is weird for these coasters. I didn't know that. Because they will walk

into bathrooms in an occupied house and be like, what is wrong with these heathens? And it's because that is what Willie Brown is most famous for that phrase and for foisting Kamala Harris upon the monoparty system that should be much more of a crucible than it is in California. And now the rest of us here in the 2024 election. I have a couple lefty friends that actually do that from California. So that

makes sense. You do not flush number one. I was fascinated about it. Ask them. They'll tell you in great detail. Why didn't they go back once it was all over? I don't know. Because water, man. Because climate change? Climate change is water, man. Why do you hate the earth so much? You got to save water. But yes, so now there are a bunch of buffoons.

And I would think to myself, like, what would I hate more right now? Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom? And right now in this moment, I think that Kamala is more dangerous. And, you know, I have no problem shining a light on her disgusting, putrid record, not only as a prosecutor in California, but the nothingness that is the vice presidency. And that's why they stuck Theodore Roosevelt in the vice presidency, because he was such a threat, he was such a charismatic war hero, that they just wanted him to fade away and just dissolve in this puddle of nothingness that was the vice presidency. And she's kind of

turn it into that again, which is really exciting, but you don't want that from a president. We have to think to ourselves, like, what do we want? You know, of course we want empathy, but we want competence. We want strength. We want someone who can unite, who can rise and exist above the fray. And even if we have disagreements, they still see the thing in us that is worthy. And of course, for those of us who love this country, who want it to be a better place for our children, I will end where we started. And that is freedom. And if you have a politician whom you disagree with but still respects your right to exist and thrive freely

as you an individual see fit, then I will have far more respect for that person. That person is not Kamala Harris. She does not respect the individual. She apparently abhors freedom. and as long as she's running, I'm going to keep running my mouth. I want to thank Will Kane for allowing me to sit in on his phenomenal podcast, The Will Kane Show.
