Topic: Vice President

In an exclusive interview with Tamron Hall, the narrative surrounding Andrew Gillum's hotel incident is reframed as a personal struggle with depression. The segment reveals that Gillum was considered a top contender for the Vice Presidential slot, potentially rivaling Kamala Harris. The hosts speculate whether the "Coven" or party establishment orchestrated Gillum's downfall to clear the path for Harris.

Kamala Harris discusses the importance of due process while simultaneously claiming that President Trump was "rooting for more violence" for political gain. The hosts dismiss these claims as standard election-year rhetoric intended to frame the opposition as a threat to national stability.

The hosts examine Kamala Harris's historic role as the first female, Black, and Indian American Vice President. They compare her lack of a specific initial policy initiative to the roles held by previous Vice Presidents like Joe Biden and Mike Pence. The conversation touches on Biden's deep ties to Delaware's corporate environment and suggests Harris may act as a "lightning rod" or "troublemaker" while Biden operates in the background.

The hosts argue that the DNC should have chosen Stacey Abrams as the vice presidential candidate for her "authentic" look and appeal, rather than the Obama-backed Kamala Harris. They attribute the choice to hubris and a failure to understand the ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) conversation.

Mo Facts critiques the term "Black Lives," arguing it is a dehumanized product used for political leveraging rather than helping black men. He suggests that the "Black Ink" (BLM) business model feeds off dead bodies to push agendas like the selection of a black female Vice President. He notes a growing fracture where black men are refusing to be used as "loss leaders" for other demographic gains.

Mo Facts revisits a Washington Post clip of black female activists demanding a black woman Vice President. He argues that these "Black Ink" leaders used the "leverage" of George Floyd's death to secure political positions for themselves rather than addressing the plight of black men. He describes this as a "matriarchal" power play that ignores the volume of votes needed from black men to effect real change.

The selection of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden's running mate is criticized as a "dumb" political move, with the hosts referring to the ticket as "Cagney and Lacey." Harris's record as a prosecutor and her past actions criminalizing parents for truancy are cited as reasons why she lacks support among "woke" activists and many Black voters. The discussion suggests the Democratic Party felt forced to pick a Black woman but chose one with a problematic law enforcement background.

Political commentator Jimmy Dore criticizes Joe Biden's history, specifically citing the 1994 Crime Bill and his vetting of a Vice President who prosecuted black teenagers. Dore argues that Biden's authoritative tone and controversial statements alienate voters on the coast while failing to gain ground in swing states.

The term "economic justice" is identified as a code word for reparations that pundits use to avoid controversy. The segment questions how a black female Vice President would provide "tangibles" for the community when a black President only achieved an 18-to-1 sentencing ratio.

The demands for a black woman on the Supreme Court are viewed as "sinister" given they imply the death or retirement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The segment criticizes the focus on symbolic positions over a substantive agenda, labeling the public appeals to Biden as "pick me" behavior that lacks moral underpinnings.

A clip from the show "Rising" features Nina Turner reacting to a question about whether she would serve as Joe Biden's Vice President. The hosts characterize her reaction as "orchestrated acting" designed to elevate her name into the national VP conversation. They conclude that while she is a skilled commentator, she is effectively leveraging the vacuum left by the end of the Sanders campaign.

Moe reflects on the 2016 election, noting that high-profile celebrity endorsements from Jay-Z, Beyonce, and LeBron James failed to secure the black vote for Hillary Clinton. The hosts discuss the prevailing expectation that the 2020 Democratic nominee will select Stacey Abrams as a vice-presidential candidate to secure the base.

The View panel discusses whether black voters prioritized "electability" over Harris. The hosts dismiss this, asserting she was simply a poor candidate, and predict that the political establishment will attempt to "repackage" her for a 2024 run or a VP slot.

Adam Curry and Mo conclude that the establishment's attacks prove the high value of the black vote. Mo predicts Stacey Abrams will be the eventual VP pick because she fits the "stereotypical black woman" mold better than Harris, and Curry jokes about sending the episode to the Smithsonian.
