probably go on another interview and do the same thing and they let him get away with it because they ran out of time. Bernie Sanders is being a little bit mean to Kamala Harris and apparently he's not expecting her to run for president anytime soon. And apparently what Bernie said to Dana Bash who was talking to him, Bernie said, quote, "One of the reasons in my view that Kamala Harris lost this…

And then Sanders said this, and I quote, "Well, but in a vague, I don't want to rehash that campaign." In other words, he didn't know what he was talking about. But I think the clue to Democratic victories is to understand you've got to stand unequivocally with the working class. Okay. And what exactly does standing with them get you? What is it you're asking for?
Do you ever see a title to an article and you knew you just didn't have to read it? The Wall Street Journal has an article in which the headline is "President Trump is imitating the Chinese Communist Party by extending political control ever deeper into the economy." This is by Greg Ip. Now, would you bother reading that article? It's an article comparing Trump to the Chinese Communist Party. Does it seem to you that that would be worth your time? No. If there's anything I've taught you, it's in the world of persuasion, it's only comparisons that matter. That's why they say Trump is Hitler. It's why they say Trump is imitating the Chinese Communist Party. It's just all they're trying to do is find a way to smear him by association because they don't have enough actual policy preferences that would be better than whatever the hell he's doing. So no, I'm not going to read that Wall Street Journal. That's crazy.
According to PJ Media and Matt Margolis, he's writing, did you know, I didn't know this, I learned this today, that Obama's rise to power was entirely based on gerrymandering. So remember he was that junior senator from Illinois. If his state had not been super gerrymandered just for him, he didn't really have a chance of winning. So Obama is a completely artificial candidate. He was created by gerrymandering. So that's interesting. How did I not know that before?
According to the New York Post, Bethany Mandel is writing that New Jersey's electric bill tripled this summer. Tripled. How does your electric bill triple? Did they cancel some power plants or something? There must be more to this story, but I didn't see it. Anyway, but apparently New Jersey in general is getting more expensive. So besides that, property taxes are up 6%, car insurance up 15%, home insurance up 17%, and hea

lth insurance up 19%. Now given that 60% of the country is living paycheck to paycheck, the numbers I just gave you, these are all the things that a middle-class family just has to have, right? They have to pay for gas, they have to have electricity, they have to have healthcare. And these increases for New Jersey would make it completely unlivable for the middle class. If they were already right…
