I’ve just listened to the Howard Stern-Kamala Harris interview on SiriusXM, and it wasn’t the least bit challenging or invasive or confrontational…about as substantive and friendly as a high-profile interview of this sort can get. I wasn’t disappointed but I wasn’t riveted either. Harris didn’t overdo the word salad thing. She sounded cool, frank and straight as far as it went, and said “to your point” several times.

I was inwardly begging Stern to bring up the woke psychology thing…the cult of wokeism…white men are the problem (which they are to a significant extent) and all that and how the progressives have basically jettisoned young white dudes because of this exclusionary attitude. And of course he didn’t touch it.

It wasn’t especially important to note that Kamala works out every morning between 30 and 45 minutes, and that cereal-wise she likes Raisin Bran and Kellogg’s Special K. But she said this.

Harris: “I’ve literally lost sleep over this election…this is an election that’s about strength vs. weakness…[Donald Trump] admires dictators…I believe that Trump has this desire to be a dictator…he admires strong men, and he gets played by them…they are manipulating him…this is about do we want a president who will abide by the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, or someone who is constantly flattered by Vladimir Putin of Russia?”

“At the height of the pandemic, this guy who was President of the United States, secretly sent Covid test kits for Putin’s personal use…he doesn’t support Ukraine and the importance of sovereign integrity of a democracy…these are principles that we all agree on. It’s a sign of weakness in a leader…he is dangerous and unfit…there were a couple of moments during the debate that were surreal…viewers wanted to know where we stood on the issues, and [Trump] was talking about things that were factually untrue.”
