Kennedy
Foreign hello and welcome to this episode of F. Kennedy Saves the World. So California is apparently not going to have Kamala Harris as a governor. I guess she has decided. She's told her inner circle. Word has leaked out. She told Gavin Newsom and the lieutenant governor of California the that she is not going to run. And you know her. One of her closest political advisors, Sean Clegg, said it's because she had reasonable doubts if she were truly a public servant and wanted to save her state, she would run. She can't save her state though, because Gavin Newsom is handing her an absolute steaming pile of rancid dog crap and he has created and exacerbated so many problems in that state that literally everything she would be inheriting would be an absolute mess. And the only person who's going to make a success of that job is someone who is going to come in and gut the state. They need the Bobs member from office space and they need to re interview everyone for their jobs and just sit every public servant in California down and, and say, so what would you say you do here? And they would all go, I'm a people person, God damn it. It's obviously in such horrendous shape that someone like Kamala Harris who rose up through the California system would never be able to fix the system that produced her because that would require dismantling it. And if she were to dismantle it, she would also have to admit that the system is very deeply flawed. And, and she can't do that because she's incapable of self reflection, which is funny because she has a book coming out in September called 107 days, which is about her just meteoric rise to the bottom because we think of meteors as going up, but then they crash into earth and kill the dinosaurs. Which is a perfect metaphor for what she has done with her political career. So one of her aides has said she has three distinct choice paths here. One is to run for governor, which she's not going to do because not only would she have to dismantle said system, she would also most likely lose and she would also most likely lose to a Democrat during the primary process, even though California has what's called a jungle primary. So regardless of party, it's the top two vote getters. They're the ones who go on to duke it out to see who gets to move to Sacramento. Yay. It's like the Brentwood of the North. Ish. It's a great place, wonderful part of California. Sacto move there immediately so she would probably get defeated. And you know, there was one article that pointed out whoever ran against her, even if it was another Democrat, Republicans would grudge vote against Kamala Harris, even if it meant voting for a Republican or Democrat for the first time in, in their state. And she has so much, she has such a massive personally constructed headwind working against her, not only in California. So that was one of three choices. One run for governor, she's not going to do that because she knows she would lose. The other is run again in 2028 because right now in terms of polling, because of her name recognition and she was our last vice president and she ran for president unsuccessfully, that she might run again in 2028, you know, internalizing all of these lessons learned, which you know, she has given no glimpse that there has been that critical self reflection and painful analysis that is required to truly change course when you have failed. And, and she has failed utterly. And America does not like failures. America doesn't like to be reminded of failures. And she is not the kind of person who could stew for four years like Donald Trump did and come up with a plan that truly benefits the country. I wish she would. I mean, I hope that of anyone who seeks and achieves the presidency that they, they're really doing it not for their own needs and to cement their own legacy and to make as much money as they can post presidency, but to really benefit the country as much as possible. Say what you will about Donald Trump, but that's what he spent four years doing. Don't go anywhere more. Kennedy saves the World right after this.

The podcast@foxacrossamerica.com I don't see her having the same introspection and energy and I don't think she would make it through the primary process. I cannot see the party coalescing behind her because they did that once and they got burned by it because she did not have the political acumen to pick a good vice president, let alone answer basic questions on liberal friendly outlets like the View. When they were like, so, you know, how would your presidency differ from the Biden presidency? She's like, no, I can't really say anything. It's like not one thing. They're trying to help her out. Sunny Austin's like, nothing. And she's like, no, no, really, because obviously she and Joe Biden had a deal and he called her up and said, if I endorse you, they are going to make you the nominee. They are going to fast track you because it would be racist and misogynistic if they didn't with my endorsement. So I'm going to endorse you, but you cannot badmouth me at all. You have to say that I was wonderful and amazing and the best thing that ever happened to the country. And you know, Biden's so delusional. He's like, and that's the only way you're gonna win. And she's so dumb, she's like, God, sounds great. So I'm sure if she's honest, the book would be all about how she is a dismal failure and how Republican voters would grudge vote against her if she talked about all of her flaws. I'm sure Republicans would grudge read it because they, they want to hear how bad she is and they, they want her to admit that it's very sadistic, but she's neither smart nor deep enough to do that. So I can't imagine what this book is going to be because she thinks that, you know, the only way she's going to seem presidential if is if she writes a very presidential tome. Chin scratch. No, the only thing that would make people really interested is if she just turfed everyone and just starting with Dr. Joe Biden. They hate each other, but she won't do it. And if, if she showed that level of honesty, like, here's all the people I hate and here's how they completely screwed me over and I'm never listening to them again and these are my great ideas. And if she actually had like two that, you know, lower taxes and cut spending, then people might go, huh, I could give that another look. But she's not going to do that. And that is what makes this, I can already tell you it is going to be boring and inauthentic just like she is. So no one's going to buy the book. No one cares. She didn't sign a huge advance for it because it's uninspiring and it is backward looking. And that is the critique that she's getting from people within her own party. No one wants her to run. I mean, Doug Emhoff might, so he can just scroll through those 17 year old Swedish adoptees that he'd like to bring to this country and really be a father figure for them because even 17 year old Swedish bikini models need nannies. So he'd have to get one of those, too. So, Kamala, good luck, babe. It didn't work out for you. And losing the California governorship, even just sidestepping that landmine, losing the presidential race in 2028, she can't run again if she doesn't run in 2028. So this is effectively the death knell for her political career. And I am aces with that. This has been Kennedy Saves the World. I'm KE Listen ad Free with a Fox.

Podcast Summary: Kennedy Saves the World
Episode: The Shortest Campaign Ever
Release Date: July 31, 2025
In this episode of "Kennedy Saves the World," host Kennedy delves into the recent political developments surrounding Kamala Harris and her decision not to run for Governor of California. With characteristic humor, sharp wit, and uncompromising analysis, Kennedy explores the implications of Harris's choices on her political future and the broader landscape of California politics.
Kennedy opens the discussion by addressing the news that Kamala Harris has decided against running for the governorship of California. He highlights the reasons behind her decision, emphasizing the formidable challenges she faces within the state's current political climate.
"She told Gavin Newsom and the lieutenant governor of California that she is not going to run... because Gavin Newsom is handing her an absolute steaming pile of rancid dog crap and he has created and exacerbated so many problems in that state."
[00:30]
Kennedy criticizes the state of California under Governor Gavin Newsom, asserting that the existing problems are too entrenched for Harris to effect meaningful change without a complete overhaul.
Kennedy provides a scathing critique of Gavin Newsom's administration, describing the state's issues as an "absolute mess." He argues that Newsom's governance has created insurmountable obstacles that would inhibit any potential governor from succeeding without drastic measures.
"Everything she would be inheriting would be an absolute mess. The only person who's going to make a success of that job is someone who is going to come in and gut the state."
[01:15]
He further suggests that a successful leadership change would require reevaluating and restructuring the entire state apparatus, a task he believes Harris is neither willing nor capable of undertaking.
Kennedy questions Kamala Harris's ability to lead, citing her perceived inability to engage in the necessary self-reflection and critical analysis required for effective governance.
"It's obvious in such horrendous shape that someone like Kamala Harris who rose up through the California system would never be able to fix the system that produced her because that would require dismantling it."
[02:10]
He criticizes her forthcoming book, "107 Days," as a metaphor for her political trajectory, suggesting that her rise has been meteoric but ultimately disastrous.
"She has a book coming out in September called 107 days, which is about her just meteoric rise to the bottom because we think of meteors as going up, but then they crash into earth and kill the dinosaurs."
[02:45]
Kennedy addresses the speculation surrounding Harris's potential run for the presidency in 2028. He expresses skepticism about her chances, citing her lack of introspection and the absence of tangible improvements in her political strategy.
"She might run again in 2028... She has given no glimpse that there has been that critical self-reflection and painful analysis that is required to truly change course when you have failed."
[03:20]
He draws parallels between Harris and former Vice President Joe Biden, questioning her ability to lead with the same dedication and strategic planning that he attributes to Biden's tenure.
Kennedy explores the internal dynamics of the Democratic Party, suggesting that there is significant resistance to Harris's potential candidacy. He points out that even within her party, there is a lack of enthusiasm for her leadership.
"No one wants her to run... she knows she would lose to a Democrat during the primary process, even though California has what's called a jungle primary."
[03:50]
Kennedy predicts that Harris would struggle to gain the necessary support from party members, potentially leading to her downfall in both state and national politics.
Kennedy wraps up the episode by reinforcing his bleak outlook on Kamala Harris's political future. He underscores the notion that without significant changes and genuine self-improvement, Harris's prospects for success are minimal.
"This is effectively the death knell for her political career. And I am aces with that."
[04:20]
He emphasizes the importance of leadership that prioritizes national benefit over personal legacy, contrasting Harris's approach with what he admires in other political figures.
Kennedy: "Nothing. And she's like, no, no, really, because obviously she and Joe Biden had a deal..."
[05:01]
Kennedy: "If she actually had like two that, you know, lower taxes and cut spending, then people might go, huh, I could give that another look."
