Summary
In today’s WTH Extra! episode, Dany and Marc discuss Marc’s latest Washington Post column, Harris is a gaffe-prone leftist. Why didn’t anyone challenge her? Vice President Kamala Harris is sure to be at the top of the Democratic ticket come November. But Democrats may end up with buyers’ remorse as voters get to know her over the course of the next hundred days. Harris was the most liberal senator during her time in Congress and is prone to public slip-ups, yet does not have the excuse of age. When the honeymoon phase is over, Democrats might wish they had had a real primary after all.

I don't know what the hell he's talking about. You don't have to know what the hell is on it. What hell's the matter with these guys? We don't know what's going on. What hell's going on? |
| 0:01.1 | Who in God's name |
| 0:21.7 | knows what it's all about. Hi, I'm Daniel Pletka. Now, Mark Tyson. Welcome to our podcast. What the |
| 0:34.3 | hell is going on? Mark, what the hell are you up to? |
| 0:38.3 | Well, more interesting, what the hell are you up to? You have left from Italy to France. |
| 0:43.4 | Last time we had you, you were on a train from Milan to Fienza, and now you've gone from Ferenza to Cassis, you said? |
| 0:51.6 | Where are you in France? We are in Cassis. Bring me some creme to cassis |
| 0:55.3 | when you return. Our listeners are going to wonder why we're not doing a travelogue and why we're |
| 1:01.3 | talking about politics, but you had something to say about our lovely Kamala Harris. |
| 1:07.2 | Exactly. I want to hear it. Yes. So we're doing another one of our episodes. The new thing we're trying out, which we, so far, our feedback has been good. We're doing what the hell extra, otherwise known as what the hell did I write this week. And so this week I wrote an essay for the Washington Post entitled, Harris is a gaffone leftist. Why didn't anyone challenge her? |
| 1:28.3 | Yeah. No, it really, it was interesting. You know, I mean, so I will tell you, and I've written this, |

| 2:13.5 | decline from the American people and been pushed out of office by the other founding fathers, |
| 2:17.5 | he'd be exactly the same as Joe Biden. |
| 2:19.6 | Nonetheless, Mark, I mean, do you really think it's appropriate to call this a coup? |
