the corporate media supported her and at the same time she did not make it to iowa. in other words, i think that everything about kamala harris is fake. it is an image creation. i think. if we had real elections, then i do not see her option to defeat donald trump, but if we are talking about real elections, then i am not sure that we will have them, i am amazed that neither donald trump, nor all his surrogates, no one on trump's side, can seem to hit kamala harris at the most obvious point where she needs to be hit, this is the biggest scandal. america, you said it yourself, we do not have a president, and the president of the united states, this is already essentially recognized by everyone as too decrepit to participate in the election race, but he will still be president until january, we have a proxy war going on here with the most powerful nuclear power in the world, and we also have something like a proxy war, which is apparently already escalating into a regional war in israel. and we don't have a president, this is the biggest scandal in the history of the r

[ talking over each other ] >> jimmy: but then there was a a big deal, because this is a a giant deal to get you sculpted in butter. >> steve: yes. it's like -- it's -- for an iowan, it's like becoming president of iowa. >> jimmy: yeah, it really is that big of a deal. and, here's a picture -- >> steve: and, it's real butter. >> jimmy: here's a picture of me and you in butter. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> steve: that's life size. i could take one of your fingers and eat it on a a sandwich. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: thank you for that. i -- i had -- >> steve: you did something too, didn't you? >> jimmy: i had such an adventure. i went to this hotel in germany, outside of germany, bavaria, like an hour outside of munich. it was a beautiful place. i wanted to go there, a

joey: it wouldn't go over well in wisconsin and and guam and iowa, places where people hunt and it's. might not be as many of us as a consolidated in big cities, but even in the midwest and northeast, there's a lot of gun owners. pete: there's a lot of common sense. and things like she's arguing for hurt our economy and our lives. but she's trying to remake it all. here's what axios said is. they reported on this, during the 2020 the election cycle, harris publicly supported you bans on fracking, mandatory buyback programs -- meaning confiscation -- for assault weapons, so-called, and decriminalizing illegal border crossings. now her campaign says she's changed her position. a harris campaign advisor told axios the vice president's positions, quote, have been shaped by three years of effective governance. bottom line, she'll have to react to republican criticisms when she embraced progressive policies. the one big thing axios with gets wrong here is harris will inevitably have to answer republican criticisms. not if she's not can asked. rachel: that's right. pete: she took 70 sends o

she failed, she never got to iowa, and great state of iowa were going to win it big. i love the farmers. but she never got to iowa. she is a first one to quit and now she's running for president. i don't know. someone is going to have to explain our system to our many enemies all around the world. they are watching and seeing this place does not make a lot of sense anymore. everything kamala harris says in her speeches is a lie. she gets up and show's allies. as watching yesterday she talks about all the taxes i was going to raise. i never said that. i am lowering taxes. yesterday she got up started ranting and radiating donald trump was up at a tax on gasoline for a tax on food. attacks on medication. a tax on clothing attacks on every single thing that was ever invented. your shirt is going to tax is going to tax your wife he's going to tax your husband. and i am saying, i never said any of that. they make it up. here is the truth, kamala on us but massive taxes on american jobs and american industries. i want to cut taxes on americans opening tariffs on china and f

the weather in that effort. >> i remember being in iowa, des moines, it's really, really cold. everybody was there, us californians, we didn't really know what to wear. so we just, the president and we just celebrated the 100 days and we couldn't be more proud. it was the most for any elected president of the united states in the recent memory. not just talked but accomplished. he did what he promised us he would do and he has only just begun. >> only just begun. now, if you were into history or politics or a new junky, it is interesting to look at that and look at the younger harris and look at the rise. but the point isn't simply that these two barrier-breaking figures have there connection across reason history, although they do. the point i'll sharing with you as we head into another busy week in american life and politics is that harris was actually engaging on the ground early, in the field. and that means she has a deeper primary experiential knowledge and texture for what the obama campaign was doing at the time. so she can try to pair the inspiration of a candidate, yo

he might be the best pitcher in this league in iowa, a minor league team.n alternative to jd vance, a true populist, jd shelton is the jd i think america needs to hear more from. >> okay, but what was he doing for the 17 years since playing ball? >> you know, he was trying to run for congress, trying to govern, and realize this is a seasonal thing is a state rep in iowa, i can do this at the same time. and he's doing it right now. and my mind did not comprehend that this is possible, but it is. it is amazing. it is actually amazing. >> it is and comfortable to me that my high school cheerleading squad would give me a call and ask me to head out on the floor, because i am pretty sure that would not be possible. wanita, how about you? >> i believe in you. >> simone biles, simone biles, simone niles. hands down my mvp of the week. she took her time to heal and recover and address her mental health needs after the tokyo olympics, and came back and won the gold in the team events, and gold in the all-around individual event. and, to put the cherry on top, she de

iowa. and i can tell you, in my reasoned opinion, i don't think you can get farther away the ocean than to be in a tunnel. iowa. and richard nixon must have agreed because he insisted on seeking a transfer to sea duty somewhere or at a base closer to the action. so he received orders to the heart of the south pacific, where the united states troops, the armed forces of the imperial japanese from island to bloody island. and once he was there, he didn't stay the rear. he asked to be sent into combat. he explained reasoning. he said, well battle areas are very dangerous and potentially. the boredom of serving in the rear. when your friends, former colleagues are in battle areas is worse. let me tell you. no u.s. president has been a member of the united states marine corps. yet richard nixon is the only united states president who served with the marine corps combat unit, and he did it in the heart of world war two. after a year of service in the south pacific, much of it in combat, he was aw
