Girl-Candidate Kamala Does an Interview
But She Has to Bring Along Her Goofy Dad
Normally, Ricochet Café does not do news stories because we lack the infrastructure of a news organization. So our editorial calendar pushed our remarks on the Kamala-Walz interview with Girl-Reporter Dana Bash to the week after Labor Day. However, and even without having seen the entire interview, it’s just too delicious to leave it lay around over the weekend.
The interview aired yesterday, Thursday, August 29, 2024 on CNN, a network known for its wild and unethical support of the Democrat Party. I say unethical because CNN functions as the Soviet-like propaganda arm of the Democrat Party rather than a news organization.
The interviewer was Dana Bash, the chief political correspondent at CNN. A grandchild of Holocaust victims at Auschwitz, Bash is paradoxically an avowed and committed Democrat who even hosted the 2019 Democrat primary debate for President. You remember, that’s where Kamala said to Joe Biden, “And that little girl was me!”
Dana Bash takes her surname from her first husband, Jeremy Bash, whom she divorced in 2008. Jeremy Bash, unburdened from his marriage, then went on to become the chief of staff over at the CIA under Barack Obama. That same year, Dana married a guy named John King and they divorced in 2012 after having a son together. John King is CNN’s chief national correspondent and has worked for the propaganda outlet since 1997. In fact, you can expect to see him cover election night for CNN, if by some chance you still know how to access CNN. No doubt he’s already putting finishing touches on the election map.
So let’s just say Bash is a Democrat’s Democrat.
Despite Bash’s strong Jewish roots, she reports on the website Mediaite that when her son asked if he could have a Star of David to wear, she said, “I was not sure if I wanted him to be wearing a Jewish star around his neck.” Only a Democrat could have grandparents who died in Auschwitz and be so profoundly ashamed of Judaism that she insisted on passing on that loathing to her only child. But enough about Bash.
Kamala went 40 days into her alleged campaign without talking to the press. For Bible fans, that’s how long it took to destroy the earth by flood.
When Kamala could hide no longer, she finally agreed to an interview with a friendly reporter. To her credit, Dana Bash maintained a serious demeanor and asked some pertinent questions. Although I’m certain she wanted to slobber all over Kamala, she held herself back. However, in a few places, Bash gave Harris not just the question but some multiple-choice type answers. This indicates to me that even a die-hard Democrat knows that Kamala cannot answer a simple question.
And let’s face it—a Presidential candidate has to be able to answer questions from reporters, to answer questions on the fly, to negotiate, to explain, to encourage the nation in times of need or despair, and to confront our enemies. Kamala held off doing an interview not because she’s no good at interviews (she isn’t) but because she’s unable to answer questions even in the most controlled situation.
Any decent Presidential candidate should be able to anticipate most questions a reporter would ask in a friendly introductory type interview. Kamala should have 100% expected these questions (which Bash posed). But Kamala responded like a calf looking at a new gate.
What are you plans on Day 1?
Why did you change your stance on fracking? (Or other things…)
How will you deal with inflation?
Why did you keep quiet about Biden’s decline?
Kamala is bad at interviews, but to be fair, she isn’t good other times, either. Kamala isn’t good when she gives a speech unless (a) somebody else writes it and (b) she reads it and (c) does not ad lib one single word. She can’t debate and she can’t talk because she does not think the way we think.
After Biden got appointed president in a rigged election in 2020, Kamala went on a jubilation tour and appeared on TV with Democrat fan-boy Stephen Colbert. He asked her how she could have punched Biden so hard in the debate (she practically called him a racist) yet joined his campaign. Kamala squeals and yells and cackles as she explains, “It was a debate.” Click here for the short clip if it’s not already seared into your brain, but beware, there is a brain-crumpling cackle involved.
I remember the clip all too well, because it showed that Kamala was surprised Colbert did not understand. She meant: you say whatever you need to say at the moment! Truth is irrelevant, you say what helps you in the moment. That’s why she could say A in a debate and, a month later after getting a VP slot, you can say not only “not A” but “never A.” It’s why Biden was a rapist (Kamala said she thought Tara Reade was telling the truth) and a racist one day, but she supported him once he offered her a big job.
This is what sociopaths do. And sociopathy explains the Kamala Harris interview. It explains the Kamala campaign. It explain Kamala! She’s not like us. But the way she differs from us are in despicable ways. You see, Elon Musk isn’t like us either—he’s an eccentric genius. He’s smarter than we are, has more energy, thinks more boldly—he’s not like us at all, but Elon likes people and we can relate to him and he can relate to us. Follow Elon on X and you’ll see he has a real and offbeat sense of humor. Can you even imagine Kamala being able to do humor at this level?
Kamla isn’t like us. That’s why, despite her crazy laughter, she has no sense of humor. She despises people and thinks of us in two categories only. There are people she can use (she favors them) and the rest of us (she punishes us for fun). She’s trying to fool us that she’s likeable and relatable because she needs us now. She’s trying to favor us as best she can. Once Kamala no longer needs us, the punishments will start.
Here's what I found wrong with the debate.
Kamala brought her Daddy (Walz) to the interview. This is a woman running for the most powerful office in the country, if not the world, and she’s terrified to talk to a party-sympathizer like Dana Bash without having a man to hold her hand and help her. This makes Kamala look weak. Talk about the Handmaid’s Tale, could she not dare to show her face in public without a man by her side to prop her up? There are plenty of women who can speak on their own. Why can’t Kamala? Answer: she needs a man in the room, because she’s terrified.
Sociopaths do not know how humans act or interact, so they have to observe and copy, but they’re always a little unsure of themselves. Human responses do not come naturally. Go back to the interview and see if Kamala did not look excruciatingly uncomfortable. She’s in a CNN studio, for pity’s sake—that’s practically holy ground if you’re a Democrat—and she’s sitting with Dana Bash who would put her right arm in the fire to advance a Democrat cause—and she’s uncomfortable. Why? Humans are apparently not her species. I think Jane Goodall is more comfortable in a roomful of chimpanzees than Harris was at that interview.
She answered stupidly. She was against fracking, now she’s for fracking. She cannot say the real reason she changed her position, despite Bash’s helpful comments (“Did you change your mind because your opinion evolved? Hint! Hint!”) But I know why she changed her mind. She changed her mind because today, it’s more helpful to be pro-fracking. Back in 2020 when she vehemently stamped her Louboutins and hissed that there was “no question” that she was “against fracking,” that was more helpful then. In 2020, Democrats hated fracking. In 2024, Democrats realize the price of gas is too high. She will say whatever she needs to say to get what she wants, and what she wants is total Stalin-like power. (She’s like the dog chasing the car—she won’t know what to do if, God forbid, she ever actually gets real power.)
Dana Bash did not ask about her very insane idea to tax unrealized capital gain. I am pretty sure Kamala’s handlers won’t let her back down on this policy, so Dana steered clear. Thanks, Mom! And I bet if Bash had even broached the subject of taxes, Daddy Walz would have pulled some candy out of his pocket to distract the girls or maybe he would do a magic trick to dazzle them.
Like all sociopaths, Kamala has to constantly remember all her past lies (which are legion) and to figure out what next story will help Kamala the most. So that’s a lot of thinking for a woman who doesn’t read books or have deep thoughts. So she uses filler language. “Let me be clear…” And my favorite, “The significance of…” Ask her about anything and she’ll tell you “the significance of X is that X is significant so that when we think of X we have to realize that, unburdened by the past, we know that X is significant because of the significance of X.” Those are time wasters and she is babbling because she’s thinking: what will help me? Am I pro-border wall? Or anti-border wall? When Kamala starts using these fillers, you know the hamster has fallen off the wheel.
Bash did ask why Kamala hid the truth about Joe Biden’s mental decline, and she more or less denied that she did. Now if Bash were an actual reporter instead of the American version of Josef Goebbels she might have done a follow-up question (these are important in journalism, but Bash is not a journalist, she just plays one on TV). Follow-up questions are the bread-and-butter of real journalism because they demand accountability. Bash didn’t ask how was it that Biden went from being Winston Churchill on the Potomoc one day to the old guy who screams at clouds in the Simpsons the next day. She just accepted Kamala’s totally lame response that Kamala thought Joe was fine until it was expedient for her to defenestrate him. Bash could have easily asked, “If Joe is cognitively able to fulfill his duties as President, why did he step down?” Or “If Joe is not cognitively able to fulfill his duties as President, WHY IS HE STILL PRESIDENT?”
Bash never asked about how Kamala is short-circuiting the whole voting process, you know, the democracy stuff that Democrats are always trying to defend by not allowing it. (Democracy to the Democrats is like the “guest towels”—we have them, we think they’re very nice, but don’t you dare ever use them! They’re for somebody else!)
Walsh evaded the stolen valor question. I’m glad Bash asked it, but she did not push back and Walz did not apologize or give a comprehensible explanation as to why he lies about his military service. Of course, Bash’s job was to ask the question and accept any answer provided.
The whole thing was weird. Sociopaths are going to run this country until we out them. By outing them, I mean we have to recognize the signs of sociopathy, name it, warn people about it, and never ever vote for a sociopath. You wouldn’t hire a sociopath to be in charge of your investments or watch your kids—why put them in office where they have control over the nation’s money and education?
From the highly reputed Cleveland Clinic, here are the signs of sociopathy. Tell me Harris doesn’t have this in spades:
Not understanding the difference between right and wrong
Not respecting the feelings and emotions of others
Constant lying and deception
Being callous
Difficulty recognizing emotion
Manipulation
Arrogance
Violating the rights of others through dishonest actions
Impulsiveness
Risk-taking
Difficulty appreciating the negative aspects of their behavior
The guys at Cleveland Clinic add that some sociopaths are fully or partially aware of what they’re doing—they just don’t care. Other sociopaths may be oblivious to their deficiencies. The problem with sociopathy is that it’s chronic, not episodic. That means Kamala isn’t just having an “off day.” She’s like this 100% of the time. She’ll be like this whether she ends up in the White House or in a home for the criminally insane. An “off day” for Kamala is the day she inadvertently tells the truth.
While no one knows exactly what causes sociopathy, some people seem born with it but others develop it, perhaps in response to a difficult childhood or a substance use problem.
(Hmm, you mean like alcoholism?)
There are some raggedy looking pictures of Kamala online lately and some say the toll of the campaign is wearing on her. She’s not ready for the White House if it’s too much for her to run a Seinfeld campaign of not doing interviews, not doing debates, and only speaking to high school classes if Daddy Walz can escort her and hold her hand. I heard somebody say Kamala is like a kid who begs and begs her parents for a guitar, but once the parents give in and buy her a guitar, she only uses it a couple of days before she puts it away because she finds out it’s hard to learn to play the guitar.
Kamala is like the dog who caught the car—she got the nomination—but she’s finding out it’s hard to run a campaign and Kamala doesn’t do hard things. She outsources them, that’s why Walz had to go to the interview with her.
Kamala has a reputation in the Executive Branch of not doing the work, not doing her homework, not being a reader or a person who understands things, not being intellectually curious, not listening to other people, and being nasty and mean to the people who work for her. I have heard that she requires everyone to stand when she enters the room and they may not sit until Madam sits. I have heard she has asked her staff to call her “General”! (Talk about stolen valor.) That may or may not be true—it’s hearsay—but it’s believable hearsay.
But this is fact: 92% of the people who worked for Kamala while she was Vice President quit. In case you’re not good at math, that’s almost everyone.
Bear in mind when considering this 92% statistic that getting a job on the Vice President’s staff is a huge big deal. These people work for free or starvation wages but for prestige. This sort of gig is a major resume enhancer and people fight tooth and nail for these jobs. And when the staffers get these jobs, they work themselves stupid to get noticed, in the hopes that being that close to power means they might be able to parlay this job as a galley slave into a better job in a few years. Nobody quits these jobs. The fact that nearly everybody quit working for Kamala is very telling. She has a reputation as being a foul-mouthed bully who blames everybody for her incompetence.
The Kamala interview could have gone better not just for Kamala and her Daddy, but also for the American public. Here are a few questions Ricochet Cafe would like to ask Kamala:
What was the last book you read? (Follow-up: what was it about?)
What are you going to do about the biolabs in Ukraine? (Follow-up: Yes, we have biolabs in Ukraine, Victoria Nuland testified to that before Congress.)
How do you explain the Secret Service lapses that led to the Butler assassination attempt? And speaking of which, are you going to fire Ron Rowe? (Follow-up question: do you know who Ron Rowe is?)
Your administration evacuated 11 Embassies, a record for any administration in American history. Please explain to us what is going on, particularly in Africa, and why all of these embassies are being evacuated?
How many American hostages are being held in Israel? What are their names? What are you doing to get them out?
You say you want to impose price controls. Please give an example where price controls set by the government were effective in lowering prices.
You have said that prices are high because businesses are price gouging. Why is it that they did not gouge prices during Trump’s administration but suddenly started now? (Follow-up: why doesn’t a free market take care of price gouging? Can’t competitors offer similar products at lower prices and steal all the business from the gougers?)
Signature Biden/Harris legislation gave $8B to build car charging stations, yet only 7 such stations were built. What is the problem? (Follow up: you’ve had three years.)
Signature Biden/Harris legislation gave $90B to deliver high-speed internet to rural communities and other under-served areas of America. Yet to date, no one has received this service. What is the problem? Do you know what you’re doing?
Why did you change your policy about border security and building the wall?
Why did you plagiarize Trump’s not tax on tips? (Follow-up: We’re not asking about whether the policy is good or bad, we’re asking why you stole Trump’s idea and took credit for it? Don’t you have any ideas of your own?)
You were the border czar under Biden. Why do you deny this today? Why do you run away from responsibility for your administration?
You are in charge of the space program right now in the Biden administration, and I have seen nothing that this has changed. Tell me the names of the two astronauts stranded in space right now and what you are doing to rescue them? (Follow-up: why did NASA fail to rescue them and why did you have to ask Elon Musk, a private citizen, for help?)
America has seen a spike in fentanyl-related deaths in your administration. What are you doing to fight this and why has whatever it is you’ve done not worked?
Thousands of unaccompanied minors who come over the Southern border are “lost” to the system. We don’t know where they are. How many kids are we talking about? (She won’t know and we don’t know, either, estimates run from 32,000 on friendly news outlets to 800,000 on more reliable sources.) What do you think happens to these kids?
You wanted to mandate electric cars. Please explain how you feel about the Democrat Republic of Congo which is mining the cobalt necessary to these things and why you support child slave labor to advance your the green new deal.
The Doomsday clock has been pushed up under the current Biden/Harris administration and we’ve never been so close to nuclear war. What are you doing to prevent this?
In short, the worst part of the interview was the optics. Kamala was uncomfortable and could only stand to be in the room as long as a white guy was sitting beside her. Maybe he had smelling salts in case she passed out from the sheer stress. What does this say about women in power? That women can only have power as long as Daddy chaperones them?
CNN released only 18 minutes of the interview, and I suspect the 18 minutes we got was very heavily edited to show Kamala in the best possible light. This is the best they could wring out of that dirty dish towel of an interview. We’ll never get to see the full interview, I suspect, and although a transcript of the entire interview exists, CNN has refused to release it.
And that should tell you who Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are—right there. Democracy doesn’t just die in darkness, it dies in secrecy.
