Kamala Harris’s Book Revelations


Harris reportedly wrote that she considered Pete Buttigieg as her first choice for VP but decided against him because being both a Black woman and having a gay running mate was “too big of a risk” politically.


She also considered Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro but claimed his being Jewish, combined with concerns about protests over Gaza, would hurt enthusiasm within the Democratic Party.


Critics in the show frame these choices as evidence of hypocrisy in a party that emphasizes “tolerance and inclusion.”


Reactions to Harris’s Explanations


The hosts argue that Harris blamed voter prejudice rather than policy failures for her struggles.


They suggest that her remarks expose bigotry within her own party, not among Republicans.


Rachel Maddow’s interview with Harris is highlighted, showing tension as Maddow pressed Harris on the “gay VP” issue.


Jimmy Kimmel Controversy


Kimmel allegedly spread misinformation by joking that Charlie Kirk’s killer was a right-wing extremist, when reports indicated the opposite.


ABC briefly pulled him, then returned him to air. Cruz and Ferguson critique Kimmel’s credibility, lack of humor, and political bias.


They contrast Kimmel with Jon Stewart, whom Cruz admits is funny despite their political differences.
