US POLITICS KAMALA HARRIS TheEllenShow: Kamala Harris Full Interview on 'Ellen' ... from 2018 PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEO Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2qhDUVsghM Peter Burgess COMMENTARY This video from 8 years ago has been reposted during the last few days ... and for very good reason. Kamala Harris has a core decency that is way better than average, and this video shows this. My hope is that presidential voters in 2024 will see what I am seeing and vote overwhelmingly for the Harris/Walz ticket. It bothers me that a deeply flawed individual ... Donald Trump ... should get any popular support in an American election. It raises questions about the role of media and communications in the modern world. The idea that votes are likely to be about 50:50 between Democrats and Republicans when the Republican candidate (Trump) is so bad compared to the Democrat (Harris), Peter Burgess

kamla [Applause] [Music] Harris go go go even know you you could have been too much more CH [Music] [Applause] [Music] I you danced I love to dance you did it really do I love to dance I think we always have to find time to sing to dance to laugh to play to play we get so serious when we grow up we do I mean 1:00 I told you I just think that you know in between whatever we need to do to shout or fight or March let's also find time to sing or dance hum laugh yep that's why people come here it's a it's a and that's what you do you do that so well Alan you do that so well where you find always the joy and you make people remember the joy in between everything that we should also have in terms of eyes wide open about everything yeah but some balance between realism seeing it for what it is and optimism yeah you got to you got to like I talked to you we ran into each other at a restaurant we literally ran into I was sitting in my chair our chairs were like up against each other and that's when we met and we talked uh for a while that day and I said please come on the show I would love for you know you to have this platform to talk to people about what you're doing and I asked you about the negativity then I said how are you dealing with like what's going on in the world because there were so I was sitting with some other women who were just really angry and saying what do we 2:01 do about all this and you said we have to be joyful Warriors you know I decided at the end of last year it was just there was so much that was just creating anxiety and and depression and anger and I just I was like I'm done with that I'm done with that I don't like that feeling I don't think any of us do and let's just go into 2018 and be joyful Warriors I like that term joyful Warriors yeah and because as you said we can't just be against something we have to be for something that's exactly right and in all what we're seeing I mean these kids that are just marching I mean you know the Stoneman Douglas kids at the women's March you know there's so many things that are happening right now where people are taking to the streets and and we have to remember it's not about fighting against something it's about fighting for something and it is fighting with a spirit of love of country and that's really important to 3:01 remember yeah we love our country and part of being a patriot love of country is about fighting for the ideals of our country fighting for the best of who we are we are a great people we are a great country and um and and it is part of loving our country to say you know what I believe those words we spoke in 1776 that we are all equal and should be treated that way y I believe those I believe those and I will March and I will fight to make those words true and I will do that joyfully yes and you will do it joyfully and because both of your parents are immigrants your father is from Jamaica and your mother was from India and I mean and so with everything that's going on you you were elected this at the the same time as As Trump was elected okay so you get elected as Senator Trump is elected as president and in all that time of everything that's going especially with parents who 4:00 are immigrants what is the most surprising thing that has happened to you well I mean there's a lot and there but and there are those moments like when this Administration arbitrarily made a decision to resend protection to those dreamers that are protected by DACA that was one of the the the lowest lights in terms of what had happened um you know these kids who are serving our military they're they're in colleges and universities they're working in Fortune 100 companies and they are playing by the rules they were vetted to see if they've committed any crimes if they've if they're living a productive life and if they were living life the way that we want them to we said we'll give them protection and then arbitrarily we took that protection away yeah that is appalling to me it is it really it it it makes me so sad and and we need to fight for them to be protected but and so on the topic of those dreamers I'll tell you then a highlight of the experience that I've had as the United States 5:01 Senator Walking The Halls of the United States Congress and seeing thousands of dreamers who have been traveling to our nation's capital by bus by Train by car God only knows how they're affording to get there I am certain that they are sleeping 10 Deep on someone's living room floor while they're there and they are there every day Walking The Halls truly believing that if the members of the United States Congress see them and hear their stories that will do the right thing these kids believe in our democracy that's a beautiful thing yeah yeah it's a beautiful thing yeah right so we have to do right by them yeah that's right that's right but I see them like I see so many of these other kids as being our future and so I say our future is bright because they do believe in our democracy they do believe if they are heard and seen that it will matter and that people will listen yeah and and I think that these these kids that are 6:00 you know the March that just happened in Washington um they will make a difference don't you I mean first of all they're going to be eligible to vote soon and they can make changes if they're not happy with what's going on but um have you always wanted to be a politician you know I I my parents met when they were active in the civil rights movement in the 60s and you know my sister and I we joke that we grew up surrounded by a bunch of adults who spent full time arching and shouting um about this thing called Justice right and and um and we were raised with an understanding it wasn't even really a discussion that you will serve you will serve interests other than your own um in whatever capacity and that's why I decided to run for office I ran to become da of San Francisco I challenged an incumbent I was the first woman elected um district attorney of San Francisco and then I went on and I was elected the first woman attorney general California and now I'm United State Senator well when we we're going to take a break when we come back we're going to find out if you're going to run for president we'll be right back good all right we're back with California Senator 7:01 kamla Harris and uh really it's been happening for a while where people have put it out there that you might be running for president or that they want you to run for president um I you're probably not going to answer me but I'm going to ask you anyway you're right but on both counts you won't answer I'm not going to answer no what then here let me see what your answer is though you run for president okay let me tell you that what's your answer so here's my answer right now we are in um the early months of 2018 and at this very moment in time there are people across America who have priorities around their health care have priorities around can they get through the end of the month and pay the bills pay off their student loans can they afford to pay for gas housing critical issues um these DACA kids when we talk about where they are in terms of immigration there are so many pressing issues right guns we've got to pass an assault weapons band we need to have 8:02 Universal background checks these are immediate needs and these are the things I'm focused on right now I've seen so many people Alan focus on that thing out there and then trip over this thing here right I don't want to trip there's so much that's important right now who would be your vice [Laughter] president you got any plans I'm I'm busy all right all right we're going to vet you
