I mean, there are so many good people who are public servants, who do such good work. Teachers and firefighters and police officers and nurses and scientists. Scientists.
So it's not about them, but I believe, and I always believed, that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough. to defend our most fundamental principles. And I think right now that um They're not as strong as they Need to be in I feel like Every time she speaks, I feel like asking myself, what was the question? Because she never answers the question. She has no idea where she's going when she begins to talk.
Once in a while, that happens to all of us. You go, okay, well, how do I buy some time till I really? Yeah. But here's the thing: she finally comes out and she gives a. Are you playing that back for yourself?
I'm just playing the cackle. I was going to queue up the cackle because it's like it's amazing.
So, yeah, so she was explaining her rationale for not running. You know her rationale for not running. She's going to run for president. Yeah. Well, she knows that she's going to lose.
I mean, I think that that's the problem. She probably thinks she's going to lose. I don't know. I mean, I think that her advisors at one point just said, you know what, you need to take a break. Everyone wants to press pause on Kamala Harris, including Californians.
You know it's bad when she drops out of a race in California. She wants to remain relevant.
So I don't know if she's planning on ever running for president again, but she's basically saying in this interview that she's going to go around the country and talk to people about how they shouldn't lose their power. You know, she's lost her power.
So what what record does she have to go on?
So she says, I've been a public conviction for so long, now I want to listen. Take your time. No rush. Here is what Democrats are saying about her coming back. And then Joe Biden had a big speech yesterday, too.
Cut eight. A lot of Democrats want to turn the page on all of that and look forward. And so it's not going to be easy for her. There's going to be a book tour. And one of the things that I talk to people who have been dealing with it with her is that she really struggled with what she was going to say about Joe Biden.
Democrats historically have not been interested in nominating again someone who ran, got the nomination, and failed. I don't know if she should run again, but I definitely would like to see her write a book. I definitely would like to see her start a podcast and just build a real connection with people.
So there's a. Uh, Julie Benderis is here. Julie, that was Charlemagne, Susan Page, uh, another columnist named Isaac DeVore, and David Axelrod.
So there, there's no appetite for her. I think she's like sixth if they did polling now. They have Newsom at first at 20, and there's Bashir and Westmore. Anybody associated with Joe Biden, let alone her vice president. How could they run?
Well, and not only that, but who is going to believe anything Kamala Harris said? Because Colbert actually brought up a point which would have actually given her an opportunity to sort of fess up to the Joe Biden cognitive cover-up. And he asked her about. Which of Capra was a stretch. We would never have told her.
Of course not. But still, the fact that she had an opportunity on national television to actually address the fact that there was a bit of a cover-up and she could have actually. Gained herself some credibility when she was asked about that debate. And then he says, Spoiler alert, it didn't go well. And that's when they decided that they needed to put you in the running for presidency.
She should have said something. She should have addressed it, I think. I mean, it would have been an opportunity for her. Yeah, but she's talentless. She's transparent.
She's talentless.
Well, and she's also not, and she's also dishonest. Right.
So she lives up to that name. Yeah. So President Trump had an interesting take on her. She can't speak. She can't talk.
She doesn't do interviews. Yes.
So, for example, this guy, Zoran Mandami. Yeah. I think he's dangerous. Oh, he's awful. But he can communicate.
He is composed, understands social media. He can get himself around a question. Gavin Newsom is an actor. I put Gavin Newsome like a fool. Oh, he's so annoying.
I put Kamal Harris talentless at two, unless she has a real personality that we she is just so afraid to show, which she has to deal with her therapist on that. But I put Mom Donnie. Like Bill Clinton. I mean, slippery. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, most politicians should be able to talk. I mean, that's kind of what their jobs are: is to basically. Fill our heads with a bunch of BS. I mean, a lot most of them are doing that.
Mom Donnie, yeah, he's well-spoken. I still think he's a huge threat to New York City. And I unfortunately think that because somebody comes across as well-spoken doesn't necessarily make them the right choice, nor does it make them intelligent, nor does it make them rational. He's a communist and he wants to turn New York City into communism. But that's neither here nor there.
I think that Kamala Harris, quite frankly, watching her on that just reminds us of why we're so lucky and that we dodged that bullet that she's not the president.
Well, not everybody feels like who's the guy from Dumber and Dumber? Oh, dumb and dubber. Yeah. Jeff Daniels, did he say that she would have been uh a heroic. She'd be like a founding father.
As a woman. Here here's Joe Biden yesterday. He gave a speech where he screamed his way through it. Cut for. Look folks.
We can't sugarcoat this. These are dark days. But you're all here for the same reason. I left that prestigious law firm in the public defender's office to go to the defender's office years ago. It's because our future is literally on the line.
We must be unapologetic of fighting for the future. To paraphrase To paraphrase Frederick Douglass. There is no progress without struggle. And I would add There is no progress without courage.
Okay. Done.
So a lot of does he understand that a lot of people are thrilled to death he's not there? They love the fact that his legacy is being dismantled. Did you watch the video when he got lost on stage? Did you? I mean, he got on stage.
He didn't get on. He was late. Yeah, and then he got to the podium and he had no idea where he was going. And then he went back and then he was confusing, you know, he was confused. He sat down.
I mean, he was in a room full of lawyers. I'm sure they were all probably. Thanking, you know, they're lucky stars that he wasn't elected. But um, and he did a good job at least at reading that script, 'cause you know that was not off the top of his head. That was clearly pre-written for him.
Yeah, well and the thing is, the other story that's taking place while this is happening is the investigation into the auto pen. And Tom Donnellin, his chief confidant, who was telling him in the polls he's looking strong, when Nancy Pelosi turned around and says, put Tom on. What polls are you showing him? Like he's a child? He said, Well, I'm doing fine at the polls.
Talk to Tom. He goes, Put him on. He goes, What polls are you looking at?
So this guy was making, he already said if Biden had won, he would have made $8 million. He already had made $4 million.
So why would you. Why would you not cash in that gravy train? Let alone patriotic thing to do would be to say he can't do it anymore.
So while that happens, he's speaking, reinforcing the why there's investigation, and Kamala Harris is not running but queuing up for 28.
So we'll see what goes on. The softball questions last night, though, I mean, it was actually painful. I mean, not only did she completely gloss over the fact that he bombed in the debate, and that was the day that everybody in America realized we've been lied to for years. And I mean, Colbert, obviously, his show's been canceled, so he's canceled for a reason. He didn't ask one question.
I mean, all of the questions were softball questions. Right.
So let's talk about something else that's going on, and that is Stephen Colbert and the end of his show. And it's got to be the hardest one to get rid of would be the tonight show because of the legacy. There's actually, I think it's at Universal, you walk through the Tonight Show history. It's a history of television. It is.
So it's hard to get rid of that institution. I hope they don't. But they're terrible. Stephen Colbert is awful. He's trying to blow up.
Show and go out like a martyr. It's no way he's lasting 10 months. Then you got Jimmy Kimmel getting a 1-4, which is for us, you get a 1-4 and you get canceled. But he has a network which permeates 100% of the country. And then Guttfeld's getting a 3-4-3-8.
So whether it was a 10 or 11, he was killing them all. Jon Stewart weighed in on Guttfeld's success. Listen. You know, they all talk about Guttfeld's the most popular. Yet, he's not popular because he's a both sides guy.
He's not. You know, a fair use, like, you know, the fairness doctrine says, like, he's relentless. And after a day of watching Fox News and being bathed in their very purposeful propaganda, it's a great way to top off. The night, but it's not the Jay Leno, like, yeah, I mean, you're staring. I mean, why do you want to affect your audience?
Why not just do a show about, you know, why do you have to talk about things you believe? Why would you why do you why do you have to make jokes about things you actually think? I'll just say, you know, let me I'm just gonna go throw myself down a hill.
So that's Jon Stewart Wayne. What do you think? Yeah, I think nobody wants to admit the fact that the country is getting sick and tired of this hardcore left-woke messaging that's coming from Hollywood and all the late-night talk shows. They're sick of it, you know. And where did it get them?
You know, all these celebrities that backed Kamala Harris realized that they were backing a loser, and they're looking at their party, and not even one leader could she name in that interview. Who's the leader of the Democratic Party right now? Come up with someone. Oh, no, I can't. I don't want to name names because, God forbid, you know, I leave somebody out.
That's what she said in the interview. I mean, everybody knows that the leader of the Democratic Party doesn't exist. I think they're probably still thinking Obama is the leader of the Democratic Party. That's out of touch they are. Your burger is served, and this is our finest Pepsi Zero Sugar.

So tell me about should we be insulted that she's advertising Eagle jeans and the word jeans is she says, I have great jeans. First of all, this story is the most ridiculous. Excuse for the left to get angry. They're angry because a blonde with blue eyes was modeling genes, which P.S. was happening in the 80s under Jordash jeans.
When Calvin Klein came out and had Mark Wahlberg wearing tidy whities or Justin Bieber wearing tidy whiteys and in their tight bodies, they were not getting an outcry from the left. Oh my God, we're sexualizing men now, right? She's a model. And what do models do? They wear clothes.
And are models supposed to be attractive? Yeah, historically they are. And by the way, American Eagle, and I just got to say this because there's been so many misnomers about this, which is so ridiculous. Nobody's talking about this. Number one, they have a size 24 gene.
There are not many companies that make size 24 genes and they advertise for size 24 jeans. It's not petite, I will tell you that. Here is a Robin Landa. He's insulted by this, Cut 48. The pun, good genes, activates a troubling historical associations for this country.
The American eugenics movement in its prime between like 1900 and 1940 weaponized the idea of good genes just to justify white supremacist.
So that's what launched everything, as well as a whole bunch of people on TikTok saying how insulted they were because they're bigger women, or in terms of what Lawrence Jones calls thicker women. What's wrong with being attractive and thin? And by the way, it doesn't mean to say that if you're thicker, that you are not attractive. This is just a certain body type. But they advertise all different body tapes.
And not only that, but what really bothers me and what most are not talking about is that a large proceeds of these jeans, she's selling them for $89 a piece, are going to victims of domestic violence. They're going to set up a hotline for people who are victims or survivors of domestic violence to call in. And that's where the proceeds are going to. Why is anybody talking about that?
So she's actually standing up for women. And if it means selling her beauty in order to do so to raise awareness for domestic violence, why not? But weren't they using, wasn't it the big push ever since George Floyd for some reason to get everybody has to be a minority that does a commercial. Everyone's got to have some type of defect.
Well, and I love all of the memes. And all the jokes about this on X. I mean, now you've got like people wearing denim jeans, they've got Beyonce, and it's just ridiculous. Everybody's making fun of it because it's clearly a joke. And the Dunkin' Donuts ad that just came out, you know, there's a guy that's talking about how he's got good genetics, and people are all angry about that.
Dunkin' Donuts, do you remember the Super Bowl commercial with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, his sidekick, and they're the dung kings? I mean, These these commercials are comedic. They're funny. They're tongue-in-cheek. This was a play on words on genes.
Who gives a crap? Here's some examples from social media, CUD47. Hey, American Eagle.
Now do black and brown women. Because black and brown women also have great genes that they inherit from their parents. Did you know that? Talking about blue genes and white people. Boycott American Eagle.
Boy cut the out of them. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed white woman is talking about her good genes. Like. That is Nazi propaganda. There is this American Eagle statement, which I'm assuming is a joke that somebody put out, which is hilarious.
Well, what is it? Is it real? I mean, do our producers know if this is real? We sincerely apologize for featuring Sidney Sweeney. It's probably a joke, but it goes on to say we underestimated the combined impact of her blue eyes, blonde hair, and general hotness.
Then it says, also, we did not realize how big her boobs would be. Our marketing team has been sent to denim sensitivity training. Thank you for your feedback. Please stop emailing us. No, that's real.
I don't think you're not real. No, it's not. It is real.
Okay, it's the best thing I've read. All ever. All, ever. Like, ever. Like, please stop emailing us.
We're sorry her boobs were so big. I mean, if is that really real? Because I read it and I was like, okay, if this is real, that marketing person needs a massive promotion. A lot of times you book a lot of times you book a model and you don't realize how big her chest is. Right.
It happens to everybody. I can imagine. Right.
But then you're sitting there and go, what do I do? You're like, do I blow up the whole shoe? Do I take pictures anyway? Right.
Like, do we have to show this woman's boobs? I mean, that's probably not going to sell. You know, though it's the worst when they show up and they have a shape. And that leads to other pictures from other angles. Yeah.
I mean, but that's what people want to see. I'm not saying like you, but I mean, I'm just saying. And first of all, like the other thing that's crazy about this commercial, she's not even wearing like skin-tight jeans. I mean, yeah, you can see part of her cleavage, but she's actually walking around in baggy jeans with like modest jeans.
Some of the past jean commercials, they look like they're painted on.
Well, and that, by the way, that's uncomfortable. We're not into that as a country anymore. We were at a point where the jeans have to be extremely tight. You know, skinny jeans are no longer a thing. It took me like a year to adapt to that.
Let me ask you something. Skinny wear? Skinny calves? Like skinny ankles and skinny thighs and calves. Like the whole thing basically is just like tight to your ankle.
Can you help me with that?
Now it's wide leg and it's baggy.
Okay. It took me a good year. I was still wearing skinny jeans, and my friends are like, Julie, those were out like three years ago. And they will tell you personally, or will they tell you? Oh, they tell me right to my face.
They will. Yeah, including my kids. They're like the fashion police. Isn't it the worst when you're out and they're like, What are you wearing? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm a thousand miles from home. They're also way older than you, and I'm not going to adapt to fashion trends as quickly. Yeah, even though they're probably right. Yeah, they are 100% right. What are my jeans?
Mom jeans are the ones that come up over your belly button.
Okay. So it's the waist of the body. Which, by the way, mom jeans are back. Don't say that. I hate to say it, but that's what the style is now.
People are wearing these loose, baggy, wide-legged jeans that come up above your stomach, which, by the way, is not a pretty look. I don't think so. To elongate your torso from above your belly button to your crotch. Can I say that? Yes.
Is not attractive. It makes your ass look like it's freaking five feet long. Right.
The only way to fight it? Untuck it shirts. They cover up.
Okay. Cover up the pelvis. Yeah, I I suppose. Then what's the point of having a high gene if you're untucking a shirt? There is.
The whole point is that they want the genes up practically to their boobs. There is no point.
Okay. It's like a jumper. There was no point to anything we just spoke about. No, there really there never is, Brian. When do we see you on T V?
Uh I'm going to be on Fox Noticias today. I mean, that's what I'm doing. Oh, okay. I thought you might be doing it. Fox de Portis.
She speaks multiple languages. I do. I speak a couple languages, yeah. Don't brag. I mean, it's not that I understand what's coming out of my mouth.
I said I read a teleprompter. I can read a teleprompter. I read a teletext. Thanks so much. Julie Banderis, go get him.
Okay. I'm Dana Perino. This week on Perino on Politics, I am joined by a great friend of mine, Democratic strategist and senior vice president at the Messina Group. His name is Ty Matzdorf. Listen and follow now at FoxnewsPodcast.com.
