I'm joined today by Christopher Bedford, Executive Editor over the Common Sense Society,

and our guest is Charlie Speering.

Charlie is a political reporter and author of the new book, Amateur Hour,

Kamala Harris in the White House. Great title Charlie. Thanks so much for joining us.

Thanks so much Emily and we kind of were going for a little bit of veep but also a little bit of

a house of cards a little bit of both. You know there were some comparisons being drawn

to Ron DeSantis in the last couple of weeks just before we're recording this,

you know, the DeSantis campaign obviously didn't make it to New Hampshire, came in second in Iowa,

and you know, Kamala Harris didn't even make it to Iowa so I'm not so sure those

comparisons are totally apt. I think yeah there was a few people that were

comparing him to you know could that Ron DeSantis is somehow our Kamla Harris, but yeah, he made

it a little further than Kamla who spent, you know, 40 million and didn't even make it to the

Iowa Caucus dropped out right after Thanksgiving. That's, you know, maybe we should start even before that because I was going to ask you, Charlie, and let's start here.

Just in recent memory, it's the last five or so years,

Kamala Harris went from a memory, it's the last five or so years.

Kamala Harris went from a senator getting immense support

from elite media and sort of the political establishment to being really a laughing stock and not just on the right.

What has happened to her recently?
