Well, folks, it's another day. You know what that means. It's another day of Kamala Harris being asked zero questions. That means it's time to update our calendar. It has now been 25 full days that Kamala Harris has been the de facto Democratic nominee and has answered zero questions from the media. And you would think that might bother some people in the media. But as it turns out, nope, not really, mildly perturbed, or at least they have to pretend they're mildly perturbed,

about half a second every day.

0:24.6

Then they go right back to bootlicking Kamala Harris.

0:27.2

And this is the untold story of the last 20 years in American politics minimum.

0:31.9

Basically since Barack Obama came onto the national scene,

They did break some pretty major stories, ranging from Travelgate to China gates to obviously

1:21.8

Lewinsky scandal, which got preempted by Matt Drudge. So they actually sort of kind of did

1:31.2

1:37.6

And then we got to Barack Obama. And when it came to Barack Obama, the media decided that now,
