Kamala Harris gave her first solo interview since becoming a Democrat nominee for president, and she did so on a local
0:40
Philadelphia station, ABC 6 in Philadelphia, and the anchor asked her a very direct question. He asked her, you have all these economic plans
0:49
but how are you going to help the people who are finding it hard, they're struggling
0:55
with prices right now. They're struggling to survive, to live a normal life
0:59
because of the inflation, because of the high price of everything. Now Kamala gave an answer
1:09
I can't describe it. You have to see it to believe it. It's a quick video
1:14
but you have to see it. She starts by talking about her middle-class family. This is a line
1:18
she's practiced again and again. She likes to continue talking about the fact that she was in a middle-class family
1:24
as if that qualifies her to be President of the United States more than any other type of family
1:29
Then she talks, and I'm serious about this, she talks about how the people in her neighborhood
1:36
cared about their lawns. So as you watch this, you say to yourself, what the hell is she talking about
1:46
How is it possible that this woman rose to the top of the Democrat ticket
1:52
Her mind is a cavern, an empty vessel, and this is just absolutely both pathetic and hilarious
2:01
I want you to take a look at this and let me know what you think in the comments
2:06
Madam Vice President, pleasure to meet you. Thanks for your time today. Our audience appreciates your time
2:10
Of course. As you know, we're sitting here in a state and arguably in front of an audience that 54 days from now could decide the outcome of this presidential election
2:21
You hear it more than I do. People want to know more about you and about your specific plans. At the debate the other night
2:28
you talked about creating an opportunity economy. I wonder if we can drill down on that a little bit. When we talk about
2:34
bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people, what are one or two specific things you have in mind for that
2:42
Well, I'll start with this. I grew up a middle-class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard
2:50
She was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager
2:57
I grew up in a community of hard-working people, you know, construction workers and nurses and teachers
3:03
And I try to explain to some people who may not have had the same experience
3:07
you know, if a lot of people will relate to this, you know
3:12
I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn, you know
3:18
And I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity
3:27
And that we as Americans have a beautiful character. You know, we have
3:35
ambitions and aspirations and dreams, but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions
3:45
So when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of
3:52
investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating
3:59
opportunity for people, for example, to start a small business. My mother, you know, worked long hours and our neighbor helped raise us. We used to call her
4:09
I still call her our second mother. She was a small business owner. I love our small business owners
4:15
I learned who they are from my childhood and she was a
4:20
community leader. She hired locally. She mentored. Our small businesses are so much a part of the fabric of our communities
4:27
not to mention, really, I think the backbone of America's economy. So my opportunity economy plan includes
4:35
giving startups a $50,000 tax deduction to start their small business. It used to be $5,000. Nobody can start a small business with $5,000, but investing in people's
4:48
innovative ideas and giving them the ability to go for it
