Welcome back, everyone to a new episode of You're Wrong with Molly Henningway, editor-in-chief of the Federalist and David Harsani, senior writer at the Washington Examiner. Just as a reminder, if you'd like to email the show, please do so at radio at thefederalist.com. We love to hear from you. Molly, how's it going? Good. Great. I think we just hit a record for the most time we've spent before hitting record of just chit-chatting. Let's just keep it going.

0:39.8

And we still don't know what we're doing. for the most time we've spent before hitting record of just chit-chatting. Let's just keep it going.

0:46.5

And we still don't know what we're doing. Let's start with Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris, sorry.

0:50.8

I'm always very nervous. I'm going to mispronounce that first name and get in trouble.

0:56.0

Nothing worse you can do in life than mispronounce her name. I know. Did you see this New York Times piece? Kamala Harris isn't ready to be written off. Yes. Huge puff piece.

1:02.0

Uh, in my, well, I'll get to my theory on why it was written. Uh, after I give you a quote from the piece. This is from the former vice president. I understand

1:14.1

the focus on 28 and all that, she told the times, but there will be a marble bust for me in Congress.

1:20.4

I am a historic figure like any vice president of the United States ever was. And then she goes on

1:26.7

about and on about how important she is.

1:29.7

I actually don't think she's a very important vice president. I can't think of a single thing

1:33.9

she's actually done or accomplished. If you remember, she was tasked with helping figure out

1:41.2

the border crisis on the southern border, which she, I think, came up with the

1:45.4

idea that it was climate change. That was, you know, the root cause of the refugee crisis.

1:53.8

But more than that, she was completely disconnected from Joe Biden clearly because she didn't even

1:59.2

know that he was not able to do his job.

2:02.9

So how important of a vice president is she, Molly?

2:06.9

I like the idea that she's as important of a vice president as any vice president in American history

2:16.1

because it famously is not an office that has had a lot of

2:21.4

import. And the better vice presidents actually know that, right? Not worth a bucket of warm spit.

2:29.5

I remember even, okay, so like Mike Pence had a little part of his library at the Naval Observatory

2:36.8

that was devoted to the history of the vice presidency.

2:40.2

And he was very self-deprecating about the unimportance of the role.
