00:00You were her opponent obviously not inside of her campaign but from your
00:05vantage point how does she run a campaign? Well I thought her campaign was
00:11actually pretty effective against mine she did do her campaign did very well
00:17when it came to social media that was an emerging craft in politics at the time
00:22she had a lot of support in Silicon Valley that helped her in that arena so
00:28I thought that was something that they did very well my campaign consultant
00:33advised and I followed his advice that you can't be too harsh on a female
00:40candidate or especially a female candidate of color so just don't be too
00:46hard Steve and I kind of followed that advice which I think was good sound
00:50advice at the time and overall I think the reason I did as well as I did
00:59actually winning election night was because so many people in California
01:04knew her and didn't like her including Governor Jerry Brown Governor Jerry
01:09Brown told me directly he was voting for me because he did not like Kamala Harris
01:15you keep bringing this up her likeability and throughout the Biden
01:19presidency her approval rating often trailed behind his and it wasn't that
01:24high what makes you say that she wasn't likable? Oh from what I've heard from
01:34many sources her interactions with other human beings is that she is arrogant and
01:40an elitist and I've also heard over the years including recently that she
01:49blames her staff or oftentimes her own failings or mistakes and that she goes
01:57through staff more often they'll say the average elected official or candidate
02:05Steve there's less than four months between now and election day obviously
02:12this election has been shaken up tremendously what are you looking out
02:17for next? Well I gotta tell you it's it's been quite a roller coaster it was
02:25a roller coaster before president for the assassination attempt on President
02:29Trump there's the Biden yes Biden no Biden's in Biden's out stuff so I think
02:35that based upon what's happened so far I think it's almost like anything can
02:41happen except one thing will not happen she will not win she will not win
02:45because over time she'll get more exposure and the voting public will be
02:52able to evaluate her objectively but she's gonna be scrutinized heavily and I
02:58don't think it's gonna do well for her
