Why Kamala Harris Will Not Do Any Press Conferences | Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hanson joins John to discuss the failing Kamala Harris campaign and her aversion to face any difficult media questioning.
You can watch the full interview here: • Israel, Hezbollah and ...
Hanson addresses the evolving situation in the Middle East, arguing that Israel must act disproportionately to reestablish deterrence, given Iran’s extensive backing of terror groups like Hezbollah. Hanson warns that Iran’s nuclear ambitions continue to be a destabilising factor, which may lead to a larger global conflict if left unchecked.
Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow in Residence in Classics and Military History at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He is a nationally syndicated columnist and has written many books on ancient and modern warfare. His most recent books are The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation and The Case for Trump: 2024 Edition.

There is apparently a kind of Musk Derangement Syndrome at work in some places, including the writing staff of the newspaper comic, "The Phantom." There the character Ian Mollusk sent a weaponized robot probe to the Moon, but it malfunctioned and landed in the jungle around the African nation of Bangalla, where the Phantom is based. Thinking it was on the Moon, the robot started clearing a large area which it jealously guarded, even finding its way into the Phantom's cell phone with a stern warning not to trespass on the claimed land. And the name of this robot emissary to the Moon? Avarice.

Polymarket is now at 54% Trump Vs. 45.4% for Harris. The RCP averages are even more interesting, at this time in 2020 Biden was up ~ +9.7 and Clinton in 2016 was at ~ +4.6. Harris is at +2. The implication being, she is well behind where she needs to be, probably by at least 3 points and possibly 5 points. If this doesn't change significantly, Trump will win.

[@normanattanno4645]

Very true her answers deviated completely from the questions asked. And not just one or two questions but like every question asked never has an answer that concerned the question. Only wonder why. Seems like a lack of concentration on her part to listening to the questions asked. Like in a sort of day dream mode.

[@cookieanddabutt2843]

She's going to win. How did Biden? Supposed numerous turn out. For Crypt Keeper? No. This is should not be the standard. Why have an electoral college if more numbers mean accuracy? More fraud as well. It's very sad no one will do anything. We're essentially as corrupt as other nations. No benefit has been gained for citizens ever. Not their worth.

Trump had her in the debate. He could have made her answer for lying about Biden’s state of mental decline but he didn’t touch the subject. He could have taken a victory lap for the Biden administration being forced to adopt his border policy but he didn’t. He could have also made her answer for being the border czar who over saw the current crisis but he didn’t. You have to seize opportunities when they are presented but trump just didn’t. It was really disappointing
