Lauren LaRosa
Hey, y', all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is. This is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. Now today we are going to be diving into Kamala Harris book 107 days. Now, the book has not been released yet, but There was a 3,000 word excerpt from the book published in the Atlantic, which has been making the rounds. Kamala Harris comes out and talks about how she really felt about Biden running for reelection back in 2024. And she's questioning whether this was loyalty, a great decision, or was it recklessness. And she says that it was reckless for her to allow him to move forward with running for reelection during that time. Now this is interesting because as you guys know, we have all been waiting to hear an honest truth about how she really felt watching Joe Biden run for reelection, knowing that he shouldn't have, knowing that even if, because Even in this 3,000 word excerpt, Kamala Harris still says that there was no big like scheme to cover up the fact that Joe Biden was incoherent. She says many people want to spin a narrative in some big conspiracy at the White House to hide Joe Biden's infirmity. Here's the truth as I lived it. Joe Biden was a smart guy with a long experience and deep conviction, able to discharge the duties of president on his worst day. He was more deeply knowledgeable, more capable of exercising judgment, and far more compassionate than Donald Trump on his best. But at 81, Joe got tired. That's when his age showed in his physical and verbal stumbles. I don't think it's any surprise that the debate debacle happened right after two back to back trips to Europe and a flight to the west coast for, for a Hollywood fundraiser. I don't believe it was incapacity. If I believed that, I would have said so. As loyal as I am to President Biden, I am more loyal to my country. So don't get Kamala Harris twisted right. She is still saying, look, we weren't trying to cover up the fact that there was anything wrong with him health wise, despite the fact that the man is 80 some years old and when he gets tired, things begin to slow down. And this was after a long work week. But I mean, no, I don't believe this part of it, but I do appreciate her being honest to other parts. So we're gonna get into exactly what she says. So the episode in the Atlantic starts on the day that Kamala Harris went to go speak in front of a sorority called Zeta Phi Beta. It is a part of the Divine Nine, which are the black Greek organizations Sororities and fraternities make up the Divine Nine. Kamala Harris is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, aka, which is one of the Greek letter organizations. Now, I remember when this happened, and it was. The room was full of about 6,000 people when she went to go speak to them. I remember when this happened because Kamala got so much slack for deciding to go there and speak to the women of Zeta Phi Beta instead of going to another highly publicized event. And she says it in the episode that I read as well, that, you know, unless you really understand the connectivity, the importance and the power of the Divine Nine of Greek Letter organizations, Black Greek letter organizations, you don't understand why she chose to be there. But at this point, she's very early in everything. The race conversations, the, you know, everything. So going to her core where it really mattered and made sense, even if they weren't directly saying that's why she did. Us black people, we knew what SIS was doing because we knew, and we still know to this day, the importance of community amongst black people. And especially Divine Nine Greek organizations, not only do they run culture on HBCUs, but even following graduation into the world, the Divine Nine gets busy. So she talks about being there, and she says. Kamala Harris says, I was in a room full of people with whom, because of our shared experience, certain words did not need to be said. Oh, baby. I felt that. There's an emotion that comes from being in a place where people see you, support you, and know you. The kindness and the love in that room penetrated the armor I usually wore.
- [06:51]
Ed
Mm.
- [06:52]
Lauren LaRosa
Armor I'd need to put back on as soon as I left that room. Now, Kamala Harris does talk about in this episode a bit. Just feeling overlooked, undervalued her position not, you know, being one of substance or treated like it was one of substance behind the scenes and how her team had to fight for her. Often. We'll get into that. So once she speaks, she opens up in that. In that setting with Zeta Phi Beta and says, you know, she's giving her speech, and she's like, and when I become president. And she talks about how loud the crowd cheered, and let's take a listen to that speech. Actually, you know, when he was president, Donald Trump, former president, hand picked three members of the United States Supreme Court because he intended for them to overturn Roe v. Wade. The United States Supreme Court, previously the Court of Thurgood and rbg, and as he intended, they did. Well, let me tell you something. When I am president of the United States and when Congress passes a law to restore those freedoms, I will sign it into law. Now, reading this episode and understanding kind of where she was and some of the things that she was dealing with, and when I say where she was, I mean just, like, mentally and spiritually. It seems like in reading this episode, Kamala had gotten almost to a place of autopilot a bit, in my opinion, because she talks a lot about having to prove her loyalty in the office over and over and over again. She talks a lot about her team having to fight for her for certain things. She says, I was well aware of my delicate status. Laura has it that every outgoing chief of staff always tells the incoming president, chief of staff, rule number one, watch the VP. Because I gone after him over busing in the 2019 primary debate. I came into the White House with what we lawyers call a rebuttal presumption. I had to prove my loyalty time and time again because she wasn't the biggest Biden fan in the beginning of all of this, which was no secret, but Biden at the same time. And that's why. Oh, my God. Like, as a black woman reading this, what I the feeling that I hated. And it's crazy because I feel like as black women, as black people, we have, like, a language that we speak with sometimes without even saying words. It can be hand gestures. It can be the way you move your head. It can be, you know, the laugh, the giggle, the side eye. And a lot of Kamala Harris's responses, whether she was in debates or she was at speaking engagements or, you know, anything public eye. When we saw her, there were so many times where that language was happening between us and her, us and her. But a lot of what she's talking about here in this episode, I feel like we knew, especially black women, I feel like we knew that there was a lot that she wanted to say and wouldn't or couldn't, that she wanted to do and wouldn't or couldn't. And I also think that as black people, we knew that pushing for her to get on the ticket with Biden and making that one of the you have to do this if you want us to vote for you things. I feel like, in my opinion, as a person that voted for the Biden Harris campaign, I wanted our support and us rallying together and our pressure that we put on Biden, I wanted that to be a message to Kamala that they had to tread lightly with her. They had to talk to her very nice. Because she had all of us behind her. If they did not when she got in the White House, I felt like even if she felt like that or at one point felt like that, she had to put it to the side. It was like she had to play nice. She had to dress up, smile, wave. You know, the duality of black people, the code switching. She had to do all the things which we know that's a part of the walk and talk of a black person in America. But we put her there because we wanted her to feel comfortable enough to say, fuck all that. And that is not what happened. So she continues, and she says, when Fox News attacked me on everything from my laugh to my tone of voice, to whom I dated in my 20s, she's talking about former mayor Willie Brown. When Fox News attacked me on everything from my laugh to my tone of voice, to whom I dated in my 20s or claimed I was a DEI hire, the White House rarely pushed back with my actual resume. Two terms elected DA top cop in the second largest department of justice in the United states. Senator representing 1 in 8Americans. Lorianne Vowles, my chief of staff, constantly had to advocate for my role at events. She's just not going to stand here like a pouted plant. Give her two minutes of remarks, have her introduce the president. They had a huge comms team, but they had Karene Jean Pierre briefing in the press room every day. But getting anything positive said about my work on any defense against untrue attacks was almost impossible. Now that right there is tea because, I mean, it's the White House, so of course they have a huge comms team. But her pointing to the fact that they had Karene John Pierre briefing in the press room every day, another black woman. But getting anything positive said in defense to my attacks was almost impossible. And I don't know. Look, the way that normally works is like, when people remove themselves from politics, we find out about their truths, about the politics they dived in and the work that they did. Like, I think Karene was also in a position as well too, where it's like, you gotta do the walk, do the dance, whatever. But I'm not excusing it because I believe. And I feel like when you're in these positions where you are one of few, one of only, you have, like, it's so crazy to even think about. It's actually kind of sad in 2025 to have to sit here and even think about how to say this the right way when you're in these positions, especially as a black woman. One of the biggest things I learned, especially when you're in spaces that are very white, very misunderstanding of you. Your tone, your voice, your everything. She's in a position of power right at this point, Kamala Harris. But you're not, though. Like, you are, but you're not, though, when you're in that position. One of the things I've learned is it's almost like playing chess. Like, you have to learn how to knock everything off the board and get to what you want done without people feeling like you're powerful or you have power. You almost have to, like, you know, you take all the hits, you take all of the, you know, all of the stones, everything that is thrown at you, you go through it. And then one day, randomly, the people in power standing right next to you who for some reason were able to not be empathetic to anything they watched you experience in real time for several reasons. Because maybe, you know, a lot of times it's, you know, you're a woman and they're a man or, you know, of course, color. Her being a black woman has a lot to do with it, and them just not seeing the necessity or the need or understanding culturally how attacked a black woman is, especially when she's in a position of power and having to utilize, show, and exercise that power the way that you have to learn duality and learn to be weak, to be strong. It's very sad, and it's sad to hear her say that there. She specifically pointed out, you know, Karine Jean Pierre because she's the person speaking and briefing the press every day, but also she's a black woman in a position to communicate. She's talking about to communicate, but at the same time, I've had conversations with people about Karine Jean Pierre and her coming out, you know, as neither Democrat or Republican after leaving, you know, her role and all the things who say she was also in that same position, which is very understandable. It is very understandable. But I do think this screams to me that Kamala was looking for an advocate on the inside and did not feel like she had it, nor did she feel like she had anywhere to turn. And the people who were advocating for her, there's strength in numbers, and she didn't have the numbers. She says an example of this is in 2021. She says, I was dispatched to help reset the US's tattered relationship with France after we signed the Australia UK US security pact. Australia had agreed to buy submarines from France, but scrapped that contract when we and the UK agreed to supply Australia with nuclear subs under a new agreement. Instead of this had caused tremendous friction. In our meeting, Emmanuel Macron and I warmed the chill by focusing on our many areas of cooperation, such as space exploration, climate change, translated security, cybersecurity in the Indo Pacific. On that trip, I was invited to visit the renowned Pastorior Institute where my mother had worked on MRNA research related to breast cancer. I was speaking informally with the scientists there about how I wish politicians were will more closely follow the scientific method, testing a hypothesis and adjusting according to results. Rather than coming in with the plan as if they had already answered up front, I said the plan with an exaggerated emphasis in air quotes. Fox News, the New York Post and newmax went wild, claiming I faked a French accent. We campaign with the plan uppercase t, uppercase p. The plan. We're expected to defend the plan. That was totally nonsense. But the White House seemed glad to let reporting about my gaffe overwhelm the significant thaw in foreign relations that I achieved. So basically they let all of the craziness fly when it came to her. You know, the nonsense news, the sensationalized headlines. You know, I remember at one point people were mad about her. Chuck Taylors like things of that nature. She says they never made it a point to point out the real work she was doing. She was the distraction. She was the test dummy. She was thrown into situations or when situations would happen, they would use her as a distractor. She would have to bite the bullet.

Lauren LaRosa
Even worse, she says. Kamala Harris says I often learned that the President's staff was adding fuel to negative narratives that sprang up around me. One narrative that took a stubborn hold was that I had a chaotic office and unusually high staff turnover during my first year. The plain fact is many people who come to work with the new administration in the White House haven't done it before. It's a job unlike any other. And not every person, no matter how talented in their former position, can step up into such a high stress, round the clock role. Others find that they just don't want the job that doesn't pay particularly well, that it takes a massive toll on your family and rules out anything resembling to a normal life. I'm not going to keep people on who can't thrive at their jobs. It's not fair to them and it's not good for the country. So the first year any White House sees staff turnover. Working for the first woman vice president, my staff had the additional challenge of confronting gendered stereotypes. A constant battle that could prove exhausting. I was the first vice president to have a dedicated press poll tracking my every public move. Before me, vice presidents had what's called a supplemental poll, as the first lady does, only covering important events. But because of the constant attention, things that had never been especially newsworthy about the Vice President were suddenly reported and scrutin know why first black woman vice president. So she goes on and on and on and on. Like this episode is really, really. I'm actually really excited to read her book. I didn't know how much her book would be, if it would be bs If I'm just being honest with you, I felt, and I feel like whenever I get a chance to interact with people on the Democratic side, like when they come to the Breakfast Club for interviews or anything like that, I always feel that what they really feel and what they really want to say is never what you get to see and never what you get to hear. And it's really not disheartening because it's politics. I think everybody is doing the dance and putting on a cape and putting on a mask and putting on a personality Persona, talking in the talking points and all the things Republicans I think are just, they're a little bit more ratchet with theirs. But I didn't know if her book would be that because at the same time, all of this scrutiny and all these things she's talking about, they're gonna come again because at the end of the day she's still a black woman who was in the White House and now and this Was my whole thing too. And now she's gonna be looked at as disloyal. And this is my whole thing. When everything was happening and people were like, kamala should just come out, say what's really going on. Even before, people were talking about whether Biden should run again or not. There's this code with us, and I get it. As black people, I think we have a very. What happens in the house stays in the house. That's how we're raised, right? But I think in certain instances, that really it destroys us, it destroys our voice, and it destroys the reasons why we're put in a room. When Kamala Harris was elected, I thought she was gonna get in there and blow all of that up. And I mean, in the best way. I mean, she was not going to stand for things happening that shouldn't happen. She was gonna speak directly to the people, to her people, to, you know, all the people that get overlooked. And she talks about that in this episode. She says that she felt like her role was to really account for and continue to place the spotlight on those communities that people didn't care about. Underserved black women, black people, and not just us, but underserved and uncared for communities across the board. But I think her voice was diminished. And I don't know, and I haven't read this full 3,000 words. I'm gonna continue to do that on my own, and I'm really looking forward to reading the book. I don't know if her voice got diminished because the lack of support and the scrutiny she felt, because everybody likes to act like they don't care, but you do. And, you know, people like to act like Kamala could have gotten there and went off and did all the things. And she could have. I believe she could have. But I think the biggest thing she probably was thinking about also is the disloyalty. And if she's being dragged for something as simple as the way she laughs and, you know, her hand gestures, imagine what they gonna do to a young black woman standing next to this older white man in this White House, defending this country that has historically not stood for her, but stood for the counterpart and for the other. I think that that was one of her things as well, too.

I wanna get into more directly what she like, where her thoughts and her words were when it came to Biden and him run again for president. In one of the episodes, she says, I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self serving. If I advised him not to run, he would see it as naked ambition, perhaps as disloyalty, even if my only message was don't let the other guy win. She also goes on in the episode to talk about something that they would say all the time or you would hear her say all the time. When people would ask about the president running again and whether she thought that he was capable of becoming the president or being the president doing the job because he was falling apart in front of our faces, she said, it's Joe and Jill's decision. We all said that like a mantra, as if we'd been hypnotized. And that right there, I think, is a bold statement as well. And she's coming out swinging. Kamala Harris is coming out swinging in his book. That's a bold statement because even though in the prior episode she talks about there not being this whole scam or, you know, scheme or scandal to cover up Joe Biden being, you know, not capable medically, physically, and just, you know, his coherence to run for president. But I think even this is what we were saying. What we were saying was that a lot of it was, okay, we're all watching this happen. But the way that it was handled, yeah, all of y' all were giving a script and you guys all stuck to it. And that, to be honest with you, I think that had a lot to do with why Kamala didn't win. It was that script, her not coming out and completely distancing herself from everything that Joe Biden did and talking about how things would be so different. And like, she still, even, even in running for president for those 107 days, she still had to stick to this, like, this, this hopscotch, this, this double dutch of like, okay, I'm here and I'm what we need. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Like, we can't. We can't take away from what happened over here. Or I'm still gonna stick to this because me running doesn't mean that I. I disagree that he shouldn't have ran for president. It's like a part of her was still living in the middle of all of these things. And you can still kind of feel that in this episode a bit because she comes out swinging and then she goes back and says, but I'm not saying that he wasn't capable. He was better than Donald Trump. I don't know what it is about politics. I know what it is to be a black woman, though, and have to play it safe. But at this point, the gloves is off. Kamala Harris ain't playing it safe. So I'm excited to read the rest of the book. You guys. Let me know what you think. She ends a very strong, strong statement after talking about this mantra that it's Joe and Jill's decision. And she says, was it grace or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. And this was her comment on her decision. And everybody around her is decision not to sit Joe Biden down and tell him, do not run for reelection. Get in the comments. I want y' all to take it out to the streets in a tweet.

We outside. We outside. We outside, outside. Every other page are gold on Twitter, Instagram, all the places. I want to hear from you guys. Do you guys think that this is a little too late? Is Kamala Harris a little bit too late in telling us the truth about Biden running for reelection, being reckless and honestly being the reason why our country is going to right now? I'm Lauren LaRosa. This is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. And at the end of the day, like I tell you guys, every single episode, y' all could be anywhere where with anybody talking about all of these things, but y' all choose to be right here with me, my low riders. I appreciate you guys. I will see you in my next episode.

I don't really talk to either of them if I'm being honest. There will be an occasional text one way or the other from me to Ariana. Maybe a Happy birthday from Ariana to me. I think the last time I talked to Tom it was like congrats on America's Got Talent.
