‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ host asks who’s really in charge if Joe Biden isn’t running things<\/p>\n
In one of her first official acts as vice president, back in February, Kamala Harris decided to declare what she called a “national emergency.” Right off the bat, that seemed weird. Normally it’s the president\u2019s job to declare national emergencies. The vice president’s job is to oversee vice. Just kidding. We\u2019re not sure what the vice president\u2019s job is, but it\u2019s definitely not that. <\/p>\n
But Kamala Harris did it anyway, in the pages of Jeff Bezos’ personal newspaper, the Washington Post. This new national emergency, Kamala Harris informed us, is “the mass exodus of women from the workforce.” Apparently, there are still some women in America who secretly prefer to raise their own children, rather than toil away like worker bees for some soulless publicly-traded corporation. Wall Street is upset about that, of course, so Harris sounded the alarm. Our female workforce emergency, she wrote, “demands a national solution.”<\/p>\n
Five months later, we\u2019re sad to tell you, that crisis is still ongoing. There are women, even now, who\u2019ve chosen to skip the HR department\u2019s latest zoom call on workplace diversity initiatives, and are instead reading their children a bedtime story. That\u2019s a tragedy. <\/p>\n
And honestly, Kamala Harris hasn\u2019t done much to help. In fact, there\u2019s now a mass exodus of women from Kamala Harris’ own staff. The toxic masculinity is coming from inside the house. This week, Politico reported, several top female Harris staffers have quit after being abused. “It\u2019s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated,” said one. “It\u2019s not a place where people feel supported, but a place where people feel treated like crap.” As Politico put it, “Harris\u2019 team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials.” The article then goes on to makes the usual excuses for all of this. “Black women are subjected to standards that men often don\u2019t have to clear.” Right. In other words, because Kamala Harris\u2019 father came from the Caribbean, it\u2019s ok that she\u2019s a monster to work for. Got it. Hope that\u2019s comforting to the women whose lives she\u2019s wrecked. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s a pattern here. First, Kamala Harris takes control of a task she doesn\u2019t understand. Then she makes it worse. “Let\u2019s help women in the workforce,” she says, then proceeds to drive women out of her own office. “Let\u2019s fix the border crisis,” she says, as the wave of illegal migrants becomes a tsunami. “Here, take this vaccine,” she tells you. “It works perfectly.” Then she turns to kiss her vaccinated husband while wearing a surgical mask. On one level, it\u2019s kind of hilarious to watch this. They tell us Kamala Harris is very impressive but look at her. She\u2019s a joke. She can barely get through the day. She has no idea what she\u2019s doing. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But you can\u2019t say that out loud. Shut up and accept Kamala\u2019s dominion over you. That\u2019s the new rule. Point out that she\u2019s a power-hungry buffoon posing as a competent adult, and they will instantly denounce you as a racist. They do this because it works. A lot of people, particularly in the news media, still find the idea of being called a racist the scariest thing they can imagine. Scarier than dying. So they will do anything to avoid it, including ignoring Kamala Harris’ obvious mediocrity. So they barely cover her. Kamala Harris may be one of the least impressive people in public life, but on some days it seems like she\u2019s running our country anyway. Last month, the president of Mexico made that point:<\/p>\n
OBRADOR: It was a very good meeting with the vice-president, Kamala Harris. It was so good that I called her “president.”<\/i><\/p>\n
Obrador\u2019s not the only one. The President of the United States calls her President. And in this country, voters have come to the conclusion that, in fact, she is. <\/p>\n
The Trafalgar Group is one of the only polling companies worth paying attention to at this point. They got the 2020 election almost exactly right, when few other firms were even close. We have an exclusive new poll from The Trafalgar Group and Convention of States that shows who Americans believe is running the federal government. In a survey of likely voters, the majority of American voters said Joe Biden is not really in charge. And it wasn\u2019t just Republicans who thought that. A third of Democrats said Biden was really in charge. Another 10% weren\u2019t sure. It\u2019s hard to believe there have ever been numbers like that in American history about the president.<\/p>\n
What do they tell us? They tell us is that media storyline — Joe Biden\u2019s fine; he\u2019s just got a really bad stutter, so relax — isn’t actually convincing anyone. But not for lack of trying. Outside of this channel, no one on television is allowed to say what seems obvious, which is that Biden can\u2019t really do his job. That\u2019s forbidden, precisely because it\u2019s true. <\/p>\n
Joe Rogan doesn\u2019t work on television, he hosts a podcast, so he can say whatever he wants, and recently he did:<\/p>\n
JOE ROGAN: We\u2019re unhinged, in a lot of ways, and we\u2019re not anchored down by a real leader. You know, we don\u2019t really have a real leader in this country anymore. You can say Joe Biden is the president, he\u2019s our leader, and you\u2019d be correct on paper but, I mean, everybody knows he\u2019s out of his mind. He\u2019s just barely hanging in there.<\/i><\/p>\n
Exactly. We don\u2019t say a lot about Biden\u2019s decline on this show, because it\u2019s depressing, and because our default position is always to respect old people, especially when they get a little soft, as we all will if we live long enough, so it\u2019s bad karma to mock them for it. But in Biden\u2019s case, it\u2019s demonstrably true, and everyone knows it, including his family. The question is, who\u2019s really in charge if Biden isn\u2019t? <\/p>\n
Increasingly, it seems like Kamala Harris is running things. If you believe in democracy, this is a problem. No large group of people has ever wanted to put Harris in control of the country. At the height of the last Democratic primary season, most of her own constituents told pollsters they wanted her to drop out of the presidential race. Only 7% of Democrats in California thought Kamala Harris should be president of the United States. The people who know her best have the least respect for her. <\/p>\n
But she got the job anyway, entirely by default. Here\u2019s the president Democrats thought they were voting for:<\/p>\n
BIDEN (WHISPERING): Employers can’t find workers. I said yeah pay them more. This is an employee’s employee\u2019s bargaining chip. Now, what’s happening? \u2026 I got them $1.9 trillion dollars relief so far. They’re going to be getting checks in the mail that are consequential this week for child care. \u2026 I wrote the bill on the environment. Why would I not be for it?<\/i><\/p>\n
What was that? You know exactly what it is. If you look at some of the wide shots, you’ll see the usual propagandists for state media — PBS and others — smiling and pretending it’s all normal. But it\u2019s not normal. That\u2019s the President of the United States. It\u2019s a huge and dramatic change to our system of government. Biden\u2019s senility means an awful lot of power for Kamala Harris. <\/p>\n
