Five Embarrassing Moments From Kamala Harris’ MSNBC Interview
Ruhle did concede that Harris couldn't "give a clear and direct answer."
Kamala Harris undeniably put on a great show during her DNC presidential nomination acceptance, and even Glenn Beck can admit it.
“She did a very good job. It was a nice performance. None of it was real; none of it was really accurate,” Glenn says before reviewing all of the self-proclaimed radical’s blatant lies.
“Opportunity is not available to everyone. That’s why we will create what I call an opportunity economy. An opportunity economy where everyone has the chance to compete and a chance to succeed, whether you live in a rural area, small town, or big city,” Kamala said.
“As president, I will bring together labor and workers and small business owners and entrepreneurs and American companies to create jobs, to grow our economy, and to lower the cost of everyday needs like health care and housing and groceries,” she continued.
While the crowd erupted in cheers, Glenn knows the difference between what they think she's saying and what Kamala actually means.
“That was the exact language that is in the Soviet constitution,” Glenn explains. “When she talks about providing housing, that is not a right. That is an American dream, not a right. But they’re changing that.”
Another concerning bit of her speech is “lowering the cost of everyday needs,” because she’s not talking about increasing growth.
“She’s talking about price controls, something else that comes from communist nations. It is extraordinarily dangerous,” Glenn says.
But these weren’t her only lies.
Kamala went on to claim that she would always “fulfill our sacred obligation to care for our troops and their families,” despite being a member of the administration that forced members of the military out of the military for refusing to get an experimental vaccine.
“I just can’t put into words how stupid you have to be to buy any of this. This was an absolute show last night. They are hoping that in the next 12 weeks, nobody gets a chance to ask her a question, that she is on teleprompter the entire time,” Glenn says.
Kamala also championed a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, explaining that she “helped mobilize a global response, over 50 countries, to defend against Putin’s aggression” regarding letting Ukraine into NATO.
“What was different about this coalition that we had never, ever seen before?” Glenn asks, before answering himself. “It was a coalition of countries, and when she put that coalition together, that’s when gas prices went through the roof.”
“Between them shutting off all of our pipelines and then saying we can’t buy any Russian oil, which never worked. ‘Oh, cause we’re going to collapse their economy,’” he mocks, adding, “They’re doing it themselves with our economy.”
The coalition also involved the largest corporations in the world, which were threatened by the World Economic Forum to comply.
“That was the first time we saw what a global government could possibly do.”

Isabella Weber, an assistant professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has written an opinion piece suggesting that price controls should be considered as a possible tactic to deal with inflation.
Americans have been hit hard by the economic consequences of rapidly rising costs, with the consumer price index recently registering the biggest 12-month increase in nearly four decades.
"The all items index rose 6.8 percent for the 12 months ending November, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending June 1982," according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Weber has a Ph.D. in economics, according to her biography on the University of Massachusetts Amherst website.
"Today, there is once more a choice between tolerating the ongoing explosion of profits that drives up prices or tailored controls on carefully selected prices. Price controls would buy time to deal with bottlenecks that will continue as long as the pandemic prevails. Strategic price controls could also contribute to the monetary stability needed to mobilize public investments towards economic resilience, climate change mitigation and carbon-neutrality. The cost of waiting for inflation to go away is high," Weber wrote in her piece.
"We need a systematic consideration of strategic price controls as a tool in the broader policy response to the enormous macroeconomic challenges instead of pretending there is no alternative beyond wait-and-see or austerity," she said.
The piece currently bears the title, "We have a powerful weapon to fight inflation: price controls. It’s time we consider it." But according to archives of the web page, the title previously said "We have a powerful weapon to fight inflation: price controls. It’s time we use it."
Responding to a tweet from the Guardian that included the earlier version of the title, many people pushed back against the idea of using price controls to to tackle inflation.
"I am not a free-market zealot. But this is truly stupid," Paul Krugman tweeted.

"I left Venezuela so I didn't have to deal with these people," Daniel Di Martino tweeted.
"Price controls don't fight #inflation, they just cover up the symptoms. Putting a bandaid on a skin cancer won't cure it. Price controls allow inflation to get worse. They result in shortages and black markets. So either consumers go without, or end up paying even higher prices!" Peter Schiff tweeted.
